McDonald’s Singapore introduced these two new burgers - Sweet ‘N Sour Fish Burger and Sweet ‘N Sour Chicken Burger on the 28th December 2023. Also new on the menu are the HA! Chicken Drumlets, Pineapple Coconut Frappé and a new soft serve ice cream cone.

Just nice that mum is not cooking so I went to get the Sweet 'N Sour Fish Feast (S$13.05) and topped up S$1.65 for a small Pineapple Coconut Frappé. The set meal itself came with a medium fries and two pieces of the new HA! Chicken Drumlets which is the classic prawn paste chicken. The Sweet ‘N Sour Fish Burger has two fish fillets, a slice of juicy pineapple, aromatic crispy shallots, julienned mixed vegetables and a miserable dollop of the sweet and sour sauce between soft glazed buns. It is almost like the previous Black Pepper Cheese Filet-O- Fish but with the change of the veggies and sauce to give it a tangy and sweet taste profile.

For dessert I had the Kueh Bangkit Cone (S$1.20) which I had ate it while waiting for my takeaway burger meal to be packed. The twin cones I had brought mum along the next day to let her enjoy it. Sorry about the latter photo’s colour representation as the mixed fluorescent and incandescent lightings are hard to edit for. I was a little skeptical about how they going to incorporate the traditional Kueh Bangkit snack into an ice cold dessert but the creamy mix of pandan and coconut flavour paired with crispy cone turned it into a truly in-kueh-dible delight.

December 24 (Sunday) - 2023

I have not updated this blog a lot during this month, mostly because of worry and anxiety and there are things I could talk about connected to that but I don't want to, because it's Christmas!

Swedes celebrate Christmas on the 24th, and I always celebrate it with my parents and brother. The usual tradition for us is to watch an hour of old Disney clips (it's a Swedish thing, look it up), then we eat Christmas dinner, then we open presents, and then we might have some dessert and then we watch TV for the rest of the evening. We happened to watch The Lord of the Rings today, the first movie.

This is what I got this Christmas :)

And when I got home I gave Mocka her Christmas dinner, some Alaskan Pollock. She is full of fish now and has kisses all over her head.

I'm gonna reply all 6 of these you sent with a different wikipedia article.

A Happy Meal is a kids' meal usually sold at the American fast food restaurant chain McDonald's since June 1979.[1] A small toy or book is included with the food, both of which are usually contained in a red cardboard box with a yellow smiley face and the McDonald's logo. The packaging and toy are frequently part of a marketing tie-in to an existing television series, film or toyline.

Description

The Happy Meal logo from 2004 to 2009 (US) and until 2020 in the UK, written in EnglishThe Happy Meal logo in Japanese. Text reads "Happy Set" (Happī Setto) in katakana. The Happy Meal logo in Spanish. Text reads "Little Happy Box" (Latin America).

The Happy Meal contains a main item (a hamburger, cheeseburger or small serving of Chicken McNuggets), a side item (French fries, apple slices, a Go-Gurt tube or a salad in some areas) and a drink (milk, juice or a soft drink). The choice of items changes from country to country and may depend on the size of the restaurant.

In some countries, the choices have been expanded to include items such as a grilled cheese sandwich (known as a "Fry Kid"), or more healthy options such as apple slices, a mini snack wrap, salads or pasta, as one or more of the options.[2]

Often, the Happy Meal is themed to promote a children and family-oriented film or television series. The first such promotion was the "Star Trek Meal", which promoted Star Trek: The Motion Picture in December 1979.[7][8] The packaging used for the Star Trek Meal consisted of various images and games related to the film, as well as a comic strip adaptation of the film. Consumers had to buy numerous meals in order to complete the set. In 1982, McDonald's recalled Playmobil Happy Meal toys because they could have been dangerous to children under three years of age.[9] In 1992, McDonald's withdrew their range of Happy Meal toys for the film Batman Returns, after complaints from parents that the film was unsuitable for children.[10]

In July 2011, McDonald's announced plans to make Happy Meals healthier, including the addition of apples. The redesigned meals would contain a smaller portion (1.1 ounces) of fries, along with the apples. On February 4, 2013, McDonald's announced that Fish McBites (fried Alaskan pollock, the same fish used in Filet-O-Fish) would be added as an entree, which would run until March, intended to coincide with Lent.[11]

In 2014, McDonald's introduced a mascot to Happy Meals in the United States named Happy, who originated in France and some international countries as early as 2009. Reactions were mixed, including criticism that the mascot's design was too frightening.[12]

Happy Meal toy

Happy Meal toys seen in Indonesia

The Happy Meal did not introduce the practice of providing small toys to children. When the Happy Meal was launched in 1979, the toys were a McDoodle stencil, a McWrist wallet, an ID bracelet, a puzzle lock, a spinning top or a McDonaldland character-shaped eraser. In Canada, the promotion prior to the Happy Meal was called the "Treat of the Week", where a different toy was available free on request each week.[13] This promotion continued after the Happy Meal was introduced in 1979 while Happy Meal toys have also become increasingly elaborate in recent years. While they were initially cheap items such as a Frisbee or ball, they have gradually been replaced with increasingly sophisticated toys, many of which are a tie-in to an existing TV series, film, video game or toy line.

The Happy Meal toys are designed for ages 2+, while the toddler toys are aimed at 3 and younger.

Pollock Alaska Commercial Fishing Permits and More

Have you considered expanding your Alaskan fishing operation to fish for pollock as well? Do you already fish for pollock and other Alaskan species, yet are looking for a way to expedite and streamline the online permit process? At the Commercial Fishing Permits Center, we believe that the permit process should be seamless and worry-free. Commercial fishing professionals should never have to worry about getting their permits done. At our site, you can find the permits you need for fishing for pollock and just about anything else.

Alaskan Commercial Fishing Permits for Pollock In October of 1998, the American Fisheries Act was signed into law. The idea behind this was quite simple: under the Anti-reflagging Act, U.S. ownership standards had been exploited, they had gotten “loose,” so to speak. So, the authorities wanted to provide the pollock fleet of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands the opportunity to conduct their fishery in a more rational manner. So, this act made it possible to form a cooperative, it set limits on the participation of AFA vessels in other fisheries, while determining who is and who isn’t an eligible processor and vessel. If you have any questions about this, our staff will be more than happy to answer them.

Plenty of Opportunity in Pollock

When it comes to bycatch, there’s just about nothing like the Alaska pollock fishery (literally). As of this writing, that fisher is one of the cleanest in terms of incidental catch of other species, coming in at less than one percent. That’s just one of the many, many reasons to get Pollock Alaska Commercial Fishing Permits. They’re above target population levels in Alaska, while the fishing status is at recommended levels, too. It really does look like, due to science-based management and other factors, they’re going to be sustainable for a long time to come.

Permits for Alaska, Permits for Profits

That said, it’s not like pollock is the only great opportunity in Alaskan waters. To wit, we have many different Alaskan permits that will allow you to fish for what you want when you want. For example, as of this writing, we have more than a dozen different forms available. That means you can fish for Alaskan scallops, Gulf of Alaska Rockfish, get in on Amendment 80, and so much more.

A Commercial Fishing Permits Center for Commercial Fishing Professionals When you’re fishing for profit in Alaska, you don’t have a lot of time to sit behind your computer and spend a few hours filling out forms. Our site is designed so that you don’t have to do that. For example, we’ve optimized our site for mobile devices, so you can fill these forms out from just about anywhere, so long as you’re on the internet. Additionally, if you have any questions about these forms, our staff can help, up to and including walking you through them step by step. For more: (866) 292-4204.

I am sure many of you have eaten the classic Filet-O-Fish burger so when McDonald’s Singapore came out with the new Black Pepper Cheese Filet-O- Fish, it is time for me to go grab one. The fish patty is made from 100% wild Alaskan Pollock, topped with an all new Black Pepper Cheese Sauce, sandwiched between softer glazed buns.

Got the Black Pepper Cheese Double Filet-O-Fish Special (S$9.90) which came with Potato Wedges and a frizzy drink but I topped up S$0.75 to get the small Ice Green Tea instead. Flipping up the bun, I was kind of dismissed at the small dollop of cheese sauce which taste like nacho cheese with specks of black pepper. The black pepper adds a subtle spiciness which somehow went well with the cheese sauce. I wouldn’t normally buy the Filet-O-Fish but this new burger I would be glad to eat it again maybe because it also comes with crisp lettuces.

The funniest part about this is most California rolls and "crab" rolls are actually made of like 95% Alaskan Pollock with crab flavor and binding agents.

crab meat is soooo good

finished another book so review time.

Billion-Dollar Fish by Kevin M Bailey - i got it for $2 at a raffle at a fish conference and that's a fine price for it. i didn't like it.

kevin sets out to to talk about the Alaskan pollock fishery from the perspective of a fisheries biologist but struggles to retell the political drama by pretending to be a centrist. the beginning is good when he's doing broad history of the fishery. the bering sea is a wild place and the international drama is always fun. but kevin is blinded by a nostalgia for the wild west times of derby fisheries (one quota for the species and every boat competes to get the most of the quota (this is bad and you shouldn't do it. it leads to extremely dangerous workplace conditions)).

he pretends he's a centrist on the drama but he only interviews industry. you say greenpeace has points but where is their little bio pic? there is a also a faint odor of racism - there is some discussion of indigenous groups in the fishery at the end but i don't like the way he talks about the japanese people he worked with as an observer or the "viking blood" of the Norwegian immigrants. act normal.

i think the book does not do enough explaining for people who aren't in fisheries. you gotta go over the commission/council system. he calls out the council as being all conflict of interest but doesn't really go into it. he also complains about modelling done by councils which i disagree with. "oh it doesn't take age structure into account" then make a better model... maybe this is also due to the book being from 2011 but the models out of alaska are literally some of the best due to the constraints of the system and good oceanographic models of the region... i digress.

i think there was a good story in the events but this book was unwilling to pick a side and tell it. you could say so much about US economic protectionism, the inherent conflict between capitalism and sustainable fisheries, the lawlessness of the ocean and trying to enforce quotas in that environment, the fact that fisheries in the US are under the department of commerce.... but instead you have a fairly dry, surface-level discussion of conflicts.

5/10. considering putting this one in the little free library.

anyway what was up with the part where he calls the one captain controversial and then describes the time he killed three of his employees by forcing them to work in unsafe conditions. kevin i think you are understating things.
