If there’s one thing Malaysians can all agree on, it’s the love for crispy, golden McDonald’s fries. Whether as a comforting snack or the perfect side to a meal, these fries have long had a special place in their hearts. But just when many thought it couldn’t get better, McDonald’s Malaysia has gone a step further and added a new layer of excitement — introducing the Japanese Curry McShaker Fries. And the best part? It’s available as an upgrade for only RM1.
Yes, you read that right — a flavourful twist to your regular fries at just one ringgit more. This limited-time offer is part of McDonald’s ongoing efforts to bring bold, global flavours closer to home, giving customers more reasons to enjoy their meals. Whether you’re a loyal fan or an occasional visitor, this deal offers a tasty reason to swing by your nearest McDonald’s outlet.
What Is the Japanese Curry McShaker?
McDonald’s Malaysia has been known to experiment with flavours inspired by global cuisines, and the Japanese Curry McShaker is one such flavour journey worth embarking on. Drawing inspiration from the much-loved Japanese curry — which is slightly sweet, mildly spicy, and packed with savoury umami — the McShaker seasoning transforms your classic fries into something truly special.
The seasoning blend features aromatic spices and curry powder that stick wonderfully to the fries when given a good shake. It’s designed to appeal to those who enjoy a savoury snack with a gentle kick — nothing too overwhelming, but flavourful enough to leave a satisfying aftertaste.
Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Deal
This RM1 upgrade promotion is more than just an add-on — it’s an invitation to elevate your meal with an exciting twist. Here’s why this limited-time deal is worth making a beeline for:
-
Value for Money
In a time when every ringgit counts, being able to enhance your meal for just RM1 is a delightful bonus. This promotion makes it incredibly affordable to try something new without breaking the bank. -
Exclusive and Limited-Time Offer
The Japanese Curry McShaker is not a permanent menu item. It’s part of McDonald’s promotional line-up, which means once it’s gone, it’s gone. So for those who like to explore limited edition flavours, this is the moment to act. -
Flavour Innovation
It’s not every day you get to pair Japanese-inspired curry seasoning with Western-style fries. The fusion of East meets West in a snack form is what makes this promotion so exciting. It’s an adventurous treat that still feels familiar. -
Customisable Experience
McShaker Fries are also a fun way to customise your meal. The seasoning comes separately, allowing customers to control the intensity of flavour. Want a subtle curry hint? Sprinkle lightly. Prefer bold flavour? Give it a generous shake. -
Perfect Sidekick to Any Meal
The curry-flavoured fries pair beautifully with McDonald’s range of burgers, nuggets, and beverages. Whether it’s a McSavers™ Small Meal or a McValue Meal™, the upgraded fries will add that extra punch to elevate the entire dining experience. -
Halal-Certified & Universally Enjoyed
As with all McDonald’s Malaysia products, the Japanese Curry McShaker is Halal-certified, making it inclusive for everyone. It’s suitable for adults and kids alike, provided they’re fans of curry flavours. -
No Compromise on Quality
Despite being an add-on, McDonald’s hasn’t cut corners. The seasoning is high-quality and consistent with the brand’s standards. That means every fry you bite into will carry that delightful hint of curry — balanced, not overpowering.
How to Enjoy the Deal
Participating in this RM1 upgrade promotion is simple. All that’s required is the purchase of any McSavers™ Small Meal or McValue Meal™. Once your base meal is selected, just request the Japanese Curry McShaker Fries as an upgrade.
At the counter or self-service kiosk, the option to upgrade will appear when you add a meal to your order. For those ordering via the McDelivery app, the upgrade should also be available in the customisation options. It’s seamless, quick, and adds only RM1 to your total bill.
Whether you’re dining in, taking away, or ordering online, the deal remains available while stocks last. Do note that it’s always a good idea to check with the outlet if the seasoning is still available, as demand may vary by location.
Where to Get It
The Japanese Curry McShaker promotion is available at all participating McDonald’s outlets across Malaysia. This includes urban outlets in major cities and suburban branches in smaller towns. With hundreds of outlets nationwide, it’s easy to locate one nearby.
If you’re planning a weekend food trip or simply grabbing a weekday lunch, it’s an excellent time to stop by and give this flavourful upgrade a try. And for those who haven’t had McDonald’s in a while, this new addition might just be the nudge needed to rekindle that golden fries craving.
Final Thoughts
Promotions like these are more than just marketing gimmicks — they offer customers an opportunity to experience creativity and cultural fusion in everyday food. The Japanese Curry McShaker Fries are a reflection of how global culinary trends can be made accessible and enjoyable right here in Malaysia.
And for just RM1, it’s a small indulgence that brings a great deal of flavour and joy. It’s proof that sometimes the simplest pleasures — like perfectly seasoned fries — can make a big difference to one’s day.
So, if you’re in the mood for something exciting yet comforting, swing by McDonald’s Malaysia and try the new Japanese Curry McShaker Fries before the promotion ends. Bring your friends, take your family, or treat yourself to this satisfying upgrade.
After all, good food shared with great people — especially when it comes at an irresistible price — is what truly makes life a little tastier.
