SINGAPORE -- You can now get truffle fries in McDonald's outlets in Singapore.
Well, sort of. The truffle flavour comes in a shaker pack like what you get with the restaurant chain's previous promotional flavours such as cheese and seaweed. You take the sachet of truffle powder and empty it into a brown bag with your fries in it and shake well to distribute, like so:
