Foilicious chicken is back and better than ever

Its been a while since KFC did Foilicious chicken, this year the combination for the set seemed quite good so I got it.

The set I got had Foilicious baked chicken with radish, imitation shark fins soup and drink for $39.5.

 

 

I was quite surprised by this set, most of the elements were quite Cantonese, especially the imitation sharks fin soup and the Chinese radish being served in a Western fast food chain!

Foilicious chicken:

 

The chicken from the batch I had was quite dry that day, but if it was a fresh batch it would have tasted perfect.
The sauce they used was the soy sauce that they use to marinade chicken and the chicken skin was thin and it was slighty sticky and gelatinous that I ate it.
However it was quite salty.

Chinese radish:

 

The radish looked different to the product shot, in the product shot they looked like chunks but the actual items were thin slices. There were four pieces in total.
The radishes were beneath the chicken and it absorbed the sauce. I thought they were going to be served separately because they looked big in the product shot.
Although the radishes tasted nice, they were too salty and not soft enough.

Sharks fin soup:

 

 

The sharks fin soup looks similar to the Cantonese one but tastes slightly different as if it has some KFC chicken gravy in it.
In the soup there are pieces of shiitake mushroom imitation sharks fin.
Same comments as above, I found the soup too salty.

French crepes now at Ms Penguin

Since my last visit, there is now a French guy serving crepes!!!

Apart from crepes they had various French things on display.

 

 

I didnt need to speak to him in Chinese but apparently he can speak Chinese!

 

His English was quite good for a French guy, he did not have the French accent in his English and he looks Italian in my opinion.

Anyway I tried the Chestnut crepe, usually I do not try chestnut items for desserts because the Chinese ones are really sweet and starchy.

Sweet crepe with chestnut cream:
The crepe was made on the iron galette which was pre buttered to make it non stick.

 

 

The crepe was piping hot!
The chestnut filling was slightly sweeter than I imagined and it was also as starchy as the Chinese ones.
But the crepe was quite nice.
The texture of the crepe was quite soft and it was similar to the pancakes made for Pancakes day (British version).
