Burger King Expands Global Flavors: Tom Yum Shrimp Whopper in Japan, Smoky Chimichurri Burger in UK

Burger King takes international flavor to a new level, launching the Tom Yum Shrimp Whopper in Japan and the Smoky Chimichurri Burger in the UK. These culinary creations, inspired by Thai and Argentinian flavors, promise to elevate the fast food experience, fusing global gastronomy with Burger King's signature style.

Wrapped within a grilled 100-percent beef patty, one can find delectable garlic shrimp, crisp lettuce, juicy onions, and ripe tomatoes. But what sets this burger apart is the "Special Tom Yum Sauce," infused with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, coriander, fish sauce, gochujang, and bean sauce. The combination might sound unusual but it adds an irresistible twist to the familiar tom yum kung taste.

The Tom Yum Shrimp Whopper is 940 yen (US$6.59). For those with a bigger appetite, the Double Tom Yum Shrimp Whopper, featuring two patties, is available for 1,290 yen. And if you're looking for a smaller option, both in size and price, the Tom Yum Shrimp Whopper Jr. is priced at 590 yen.

Creating a burger that caters to diverse palates is important, so they've introduced the Tom Yum Shrimp Whopper.

In other Burger King news, their UK operations recently launched the Smoky Chimichurri burger. This mouthwatering creation offers the choice of a chicken or beef patty, topped with chimichurri sauce, garlic, herby mayo, and spices. These gourmet burgers are part of a special line-up at Burger King.

To ensure customer satisfaction, Burger King conducted a food testing session with a group of dedicated fans. These testers received either a chicken or beef burger, and their feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many sharing their delightful experiences online.

Stay tuned for the arrival of the "Gourmet Kings" – the Smoky Chimichurri burgers will soon be available in Burger King restaurants and can be ordered via Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Uber Eats.
