McDonald’s McGriddles 2025 Return in Taiwan: A Sweet-Savory Breakfast Sensation
McDonald’s Taiwan has reignited excitement with the return of its McGriddles Pancake Burger series on April 23, 2025, following a sensational debut last year that sold out in just five days. This article provides a comprehensive guide to the comeback, covering the three iconic flavors, pricing, purchasing tips, and a bonus introduction to Morning Fresh’s new chicken pancake burger. Tailored for international readers, this summary highlights key details to help you navigate this breakfast craze.
The McGriddles Phenomenon
Introduced in Taiwan in November 2024, the McGriddles series became an instant hit, blending fluffy maple-flavored pancakes with savory fillings. Due to overwhelming demand, the initial stock vanished in days, leaving many fans disappointed. This year, McDonald’s has tripled its stock to 2.3 million units, available during breakfast hours (5:00 AM to 10:30 AM, subject to store variations) Key Details:
- Launch Date: April 23, 2025, until sold out.
- Availability: Nationwide, with 2.3 million units prepared.
- Purchasing Options: In-store, self-service kiosks, drive-thru, and McDonald’s Happy Delivery service.
Three Irresistible Flavors
The McGriddles series features three variants, each with a maple pancake bun embossed with the McDonald’s “M” logo:
- Sausage Egg McGriddle (NT$79 standalone, NT$121 with hashbrown combo): Features a juicy sausage patty, a sunny-side-up egg, and melted cheddar cheese.
- Ham Egg McGriddle (NT$71 standalone, NT$113 combo): A lighter option with savory ham, egg, and cheese.
- Sausage McGriddle (NT$69 standalone, NT$111 combo): Focuses on the sausage patty’s bold flavor, paired with the sweet pancake.
The pancakes offer a moist, soft texture with embedded maple syrup bits, creating a delightful sweet-savory balance. Social media buzz highlights the sausage egg variant as a fan favorite, with netizens praising its juicy meat and harmonious flavors, though some find the sweetness intense toward the end.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing is budget-friendly, starting at NT$69 for a single burger. Combos include a hashbrown for a complete meal. The burgers are available during breakfast hours, but stock varies by location, so checking nearby stores is advised. McDonald’s has noted that some outlets may not offer breakfast or specific items.
Smart Buying Tips
Last year’s sell-out frenzy prompted early morning queues, but 2025’s increased stock has eased crowds. Tips to skip lines include:
- Happy Delivery: Order via the McDonald’s app or website for home delivery. Morning orders (around 8:00 AM) typically arrive within 30 minutes, though pre-scheduling is currently unavailable.
- Drive-Thru: Stores like Kaohsiung’s Yixin Road outlet reported minimal wait times, with meals served in under three minutes.
- Visit Less Busy Stores: Rural or less central locations often have shorter lines and better stock availability.
Social media posts from opening day noted varied experiences, with some stores serving customers in 10 minutes, while urban outlets saw modest queues of 10-15 people.
Conclusion
The 2025 McGriddles return is a must-try for breakfast enthusiasts in Taiwan, with ample stock and multiple purchasing channels ensuring accessibility. Whether you opt for McDonald’s classic trio or Morning Fresh’s chicken twist, this breakfast wave promises a memorable culinary adventure.
