McDonald’s to raise prices for value meals on Dec. 21

McDonald Taiwan’s Value Meals will increase in price by NT$10 (US$0.33) on Dec. 21, the international fast food conglomerate announced Thursday.

McDonald’s noted that while all à la carte items on its Taiwan menu will remain the same, upgrades to Value Meal combos for the breakfast and regular menus will increase by NT$10.

Alongside the value meals, the company’s popular party-platter Happy Sharing Meals and Happy Meals for children will also see a NT$10 increase, McDonald’s said.

The company added that snack items including small and medium fries, hash browns, side salads and fresh orange juice will increase by NT$5.

Meanwhile, large fries and sweet potato fries will go up in price by NT$7 while all other items will remain the same, the company added.

In addition to changes in price, McDonald’s said it will also make minor adjustments to its breakfast and regular menus.

Effective Dec. 21, Filet-O-Fish, Bagel Burger with Mushrooms, six and 10 piece of Chicken Nuggets items will be added to the breakfast menu.

The Bacon Bagel with Egg, Chicken McMuffin, Chicken McMuffin with Egg and Egg Burger with Chicken will be removed from the breakfast menu.

Changes to the line-up of the regular menu include the permanent addition of the Double Oreo McFlurry and the removal of Tree Top brand apple juice.

The chain’s popular “1+1=50” NT$50 pairings will see only the removal of the small cup of corn chowder displayed in the white section of the promotional poster.

Medium-sized Americano will also be included in the buy-one-get-one-free deal that is part of all Happy Sharing Meal purchases.

McDonald’s added that promotions such as the “1+1=50” NT$50 pairing and “Buy A get B Free” matching combos using the McDonald’s value card and the perks of the Drive-through VIP card will continue to be available to customers.
