McDonald's Corp., the world's largest fast-food company, has added rice burgers -- fried beef slices served between two pressed rice cakes -- to its menu in Singapore in a bid to appeal to local palates.

The fast-food giant, known for all-American food such as fries, beef burgers and milkshakes, said it was encouraged by a positive response to its new rice burgers in Taiwan.

It sold 5 million rice burgers in the first six months since adding them to the menu in February last year. McDonald's sells 40 million burgers a year worldwide.
