McDonald "care for the environment"? Not really.

McDonald's have always been committed to protect the enviroment. By 1991, McDonald’s (Singapore) had become Singapore's single largest user of recycled paper and committed to minimise waste production. But it doesnt seem so after our visited to try on their new Wasabi Fillet 'O' Fish burger last sunday.

I ordered a Wasabi Fillet 'O' Fish meal and it was wrapped in paper and place into a burger box. Normally they will either use paper or the box to contain the burger but not using both. Beside the trouble of opening the box and unwrapping the burger, i feel that it is actually creating more waste. Doesn't seems to be aligning to their commitment to reduce waste.

As for the burger, it is interesting to use wasabi with Fillet 'O' Fish. But i think wasabi still goes better on Sushi or fried prawn (Wasabi mayo prawn). So i will not recommend this burger.
