Yet another point-of-sale promotion gimmick burger, which I can never resist, despite myself.

In Korea, any spicy western dish is labelled as “cajun.”  Any spicy Chinese dish is labelled as “Sichuanese.”

McSpicy Cajun Burger is a new item from McDonald’s Korea.  Consists of a deep-fried minced chicken patty, plus tomato and lettuce, topped with a yellow spicyish “cajun sauce” – probably a mix of mayo + mustard + hot sauce – in a sesame seed bun.   Not bad in its simplicity.  Patty was a bit dry.  3,500 won for the sandwich, 4,900 won for the set.
