What to know | McDonald's Taiwan Launches Truffle Black Burgers and Black Forest McFlurry on October 21
The key details: McDonald's Taiwan launches truffle black burgers, seaweed shake fries and Black Forest McFlurry on October 21, 2026. Compare TWD prices and meal options through November 24, while supplies last.
Black buns, truffle sauce, and a hash brown—McDonald's Taiwan has built this fall's limited-time menu around the theme "Discover the Many Shades of Black." The lineup launches at 10:30 AM on October 21, 2026, and is scheduled to run through November 24, ending early if supplies run out. Besides the four truffle black burgers, the menu also includes the quinoa crispy chicken salad, the returning seaweed-flavored shake fries, plus the Black Forest McFlurry and chocolate triangle pie—offering new options in both savory and dessert categories.
What's the difference between the truffle black burgers? Patties and hash browns first
All four burgers this time share truffle sauce and black buns as their core combination; the buns' dark color comes from natural squid ink powder. The beef version uses a four-ounce 100% Angus beef patty, while the chicken version uses a crispy chicken thigh patty that also has natural squid ink powder added. The "hash brown" versions include an extra hash brown patty, so when ordering, it helps to think of it as two separate questions: beef or chicken thigh, and whether you want the hash brown combination.
If you'd rather skip the burger, there's also the quinoa crispy chicken salad, made with a crispy chicken thigh patty, lettuce, and quinoa. The salad offers another main course option alongside the black burgers.

How much do the five à la carte mains and classic combos cost?
Below are the prices announced by McDonald's Taiwan for this lineup, all in New Taiwan dollars; beef and chicken versions of the same type are priced identically.
Truffle Angus Beef Black Burger with Hash Brown: NT$119 à la carte, NT$189 classic combo.
Truffle Crispy Chicken Thigh Black Burger with Hash Brown: NT$119 à la carte, NT$189 classic combo.
Truffle Angus Beef Black Burger: NT$109 à la carte, NT$179 classic combo.
Truffle Crispy Chicken Thigh Black Burger: NT$109 à la carte, NT$179 classic combo.
Quinoa Crispy Chicken Salad: NT$149 à la carte, NT$219 classic combo.
According to this price list, the hash brown version costs NT$10 more than the regular truffle black burger of the same meat type, for both à la carte and classic combo options. If you're comparing the hash brown version against the plain one, this NT$10 difference is easier to track than looking at the total combo price alone.
How is the seaweed shake fries upgrade different between combos and share meals?
The seaweed-flavored shake fries cost NT$69 à la carte. When purchasing a main with a classic side combo and choosing large fries, you can upgrade to shake fries for free; this condition doesn't automatically apply to every combo type. For share boxes or share meals, the fries upgrade during the promotional period costs an extra NT$3. The seaweed-flavored shake seasoning packet can also be purchased separately for NT$6 each, which comes with a shaking bag.

What's in the Black Forest McFlurry and chocolate triangle pie?
The new Black Forest McFlurry is inspired by Black Forest cake, combining berry cocoa sauce, crushed OREO cookie pieces, and cone crumbles mixed into creamy soft serve, priced at NT$69 à la carte. Based on the listed ingredients, berry and cocoa form the main flavor profile, while the cookie and cone pieces serve as the crunchy toppings.

The chocolate triangle pie is a returning item shipped directly from Japan, priced at NT$50 à la carte, featuring a flaky cocoa pastry shell filled with chocolate filling. Both desserts also launch at 10:30 AM on October 21, scheduled to be available through November 24 or while supplies last. Those who just want to buy dessert can choose directly from the ice cream or pie options without needing to purchase a black burger combo.

What's included in the share box and Halloween Black meal sets?
The "Truffle Black Burger with Hash Brown Share Box" starts at NT$450 and includes two truffle black burgers with hash brown (any combination of beef and chicken), 20-piece Chicken McNuggets, and one large fries; McDelivery also offers a share meal, with pricing as displayed on that channel.
The other two Halloween Black meal sets each include one truffle black burger with hash brown, one order of seaweed-flavored shake fries, and a NT$38 drink, paired with different desserts: the "Ice Cool Halloween Black Meal" adds a Black Forest McFlurry, starting at NT$270; the "Sweet Pie Halloween Black Meal" swaps in a chocolate triangle pie instead, starting at NT$250. When comparing the two, the key differences are the dessert choice and that the listed prices are starting ("from") prices.
Where is the delivery-exclusive dessert duo set available?
The delivery-exclusive chocolate triangle pie duo set, containing two pies, starts at NT$95 and is available on McDelivery, foodpanda, and Uber Eats. The Black Forest McFlurry duo set, containing two McFlurries, starts at NT$133, with the announced availability on McDelivery and foodpanda only; the channel lists for the two sets are not the same.
This lineup runs from 10:30 AM on October 21, 2026, through November 24, 2026, or while supplies last. Actual prices and availability on delivery platforms are subject to each platform's own listings; when planning an order, it's worth checking the channel, upgrade conditions, and current availability all together.
