I was extremely excited to see this new item on the menu - McVeggie!! Told myself I had to try it within the offer period. I know most people would turn up their noses at a meat-less burger but hear me out. And give this a try. I was pleasantly surprised.

The burger consists of a deep fried patty (made of green pea, corn kernels, carrot, pureed mushrooms, potato). The chinese name is rather misleading - I thought the patty might be a large portobello steak. But I guess it's difficult to preserve a portobello steak in a cost-effective way and/or season it in a way that the general public would accept.
Originally was a bit concerned about how it's deep fried, but when I bit into it, the yummy factor offset the health concern. The patty has a crisp exterior, and a slightly chewy center - just slightly glutinous. It tastes like falafel without the exotic middle eastern spices - perhaps omitted to please the crowd.
There's more lettuce than usual inside the bun. The bun is the normal hamburger bun. Around 420 calories per burger.
Know that it the recipe was tried and tested in India, so it's stood the test of time:

Do give it a chance.
