2020 Limited Edition New Christmas Viennetta Krushems at KFC UK

Limited Edition New Christmas Viennetta Krushems at KFC UK.
Let's hope they will do a mint Viennetta because I love mint viennettas.
As a Viennetta fan and a Krushems fan, I just had to try the Viennetta Krushems drink even though it was winter.

When it came, it looked rather slushy than milky because the colour was not that solid.

Anyway, taking a sip it was quite slushy with lots of chocolate in every sip.

It was quite nice and tasted like icy slushy vanilla milkshake blended with cadburys 99 flake.

Overall, I wouldn't mind trying this again if they did Mint Viennetta.

[Restaurant Reviews] KFC Bargain Bucket

A while ago KFC was doing this Tuesday special offer for £5.99 where you get 9 pieces of chicken.
Since it was an offer, you sadly can't choose which part of the chicken you get.
As I said good fried chicken is always the right timing as well as luck.

Unfortunately, the chicken was a bit dry. 

[KFC Food News] Purple Sweet Potato Encounter 全新KFC期間限定【邂逅．紫薯】

Every now and then KFC in Hong Kong will have some strange and wonderful things.
This time was the sweet potato balls which I believe I have tried twice before.
The last time they were out was August 2019.

As well as the purple sweet potato balls, you will also find Purple sweet potato milk and the purple sweet potato tart topped with a marshmallow in the Purple Sweet Potato Encounter series.

purple sweet potato Portuguese tart 紫薯葡撻 $12 a la carte
Purple sweet potato milk 紫薯牛奶 $20 a la carte
Sweet potato balls 雙色蕃薯波 $13 a la carte

The sweet potato balls were not as colourful as the product shot but purple and orange balls and inside it was vice versa.
Both were crispy with a  sweet starchy filling.

KFC Hong Kongs Plant based New Era Burger 新世代系列 vs the Original Recipe Vegan Burger from UK

Last summer, UK's KFC launched the IMPOSTER (vegan chicken burger) which was sold out within four days so it must have been good.
For Veganuary this year, KFC launched The Original Recipe Vegan Burger which is a meat-free alternative to the classic chicken Fillet Burger, replacing the usual chicken breast fillet with a vegan Quorn™ fillet coated in the Colonel's iconic blend of 11 herbs and spices.

Similarly KFC in USA had the beyond Fried chicken last year and now Hong Kong has the NEW ERA series 新世代系列 available as a burger or nuggets.
Definitely will be trying it soon but they don't really mention whether they use Quorn like UK or Beyond like the USA.
Available at selected branches show below.

Previously tried the UK version and this is how it was.
The Zero Chicken was amazing because the coating made it taste just like the chicken version while the texture and taste was just like the chicken nuggets so it was really satisfying.

[Review] Tasty Fried Chicken at McDonalds Hong Kong

I love Fried chicken but it is really difficult to get fried chicken to my liking in Hong Kong. There are countless options for fried chicken with the introduction of Korean Fried chicken a few years ago, but they are not to my liking because they are often coated with weird dressings and the quality of chicken is not good either.
The KFC in Hong Kong uses a different recipe to UK which is too crunchy as well as bad chicken inside.
Jollibee was good but now the coating has also been modified so that it is crunchy.

Anyway, McDonalds is now finally serving fried chicken just like McDonalds in Malaysia, Philippines and Singapore where chicken is wanted by popular demand.
I would love to try the McDonalds in the Philippines because they have chicken gravy just like the KFC in UK.

In Hong Kong, the fried chicken a la carte at McDonalds varies from HKD31-HKD34.5 depending on location.

There are two pieces per portion and the chicken is decent in size compared to the anorexic chicken at KFC!!

Taking a bite, the coating was to my liking, not too crunchy or soft with a good thickness.
The chicken was succulent and moist which was extremely satisfying, however the only complaint was the spices .
I didn't expect it to be spicy.
The chicken thigh oozed out some liquid which is most probably the frozen liquid that melted when it was fried.

Anyway, the chicken thigh turned out to be a surprise because it was convenient to eat in the sense that it only had one bone.
I would definitely eat it again but I am allergic to the spices in the coating so I won't be eating it that frequently.

[Review] Chicken Nuggets at KFC Hong Kong

Went to KFC again because they had chicken nuggets.

As well as chicken nuggets, they had crisps and these Portuguese tarts filled with mochi and red beans.

For mains, had my usual favourite which was rice with luncheon meat, fried chicken and mushroom gravy.

Unfortunately, the rice was rather mushy this time, a cross between congee and soggy rice while the luncheon meat was dry on one side.

Next were the chicken nuggets which come with wasabi salad sauce.
The chicken nuggets tasted really familiar like those frozen microwavable ones.

I would much prefer BBQ sauce to go with the nuggets but then this is Hong Kong where they prefer wasabi.

Ended up getting the crisps as well as it was reasonably priced at HKD10 for 2.

They were quite spicy with a sweet aftertaste and reminded me of the Indian Lay's Masala Magic with the spiciness reduced.

[Review] KFC's Festive Burger

KFC has launched some festive items for Christmas.

Tried the new Festive Burger which is packed with a succulent Original Recipe fillet, a crispy hash brown, a delicious sage and onion stuffing mayo and topped with a tangy cranberry dressing and a layer of cheese.

Overall, the festive burger is worth trying because the cranberry sauce is really good and compliments the chicken.

The only complaint were the fries because there was no festive flavoured seasoning like the product shot but they were just ordinary fries.
