4 Minutes Read

• McDonald's China has been coming up with some pretty unusual menu items recently, such as the Oreo and spam burger with a mysterious white sauce in December 2020.

• On Jan. 21, another limited edition menu item was announced on its Weibo page -- Spicy chilli oil ice cream sundae. 

 Spicy chilli oil ice cream? 

On Jan. 21, another limited edition menu item was announced on its Weibo page -- Spicy chilli oil ice cream sundae. 

Found on its members-only "creative" menu, the item is available for McDonald's China members to redeem for free with a coupon on Jan. 25 only.

However, it is unavailable in some regions, including Beijing city, as well as Hebei and Liaoning provinces.

The fast-food restaurant chain also said in the event that the item is no longer available in stores, customers can redeem a strawberry sundae instead...

Here's what the Spicy chilli oil sundae looks like, fresh from the store:

The dessert is composed of a vanilla-flavoured soft serve doused generously with Spicy chilli oil. 

 Not a new flavour in China 

While McDonald's China's item sounds rather outrageous, Spicy chilli oil ice cream has been around in China for some time now.

The fiery dessert first went viral on the Internet in Chongqing and Chengdu in 2018, in the Sichuan region where spicy chilli oil is a staple among locals.
