That’s it. We’re calling off our diet. How does one eat clean when KFC exists? This year, they’ve been spoiling us silly with the most sinful, delicious treats. We don’t know how they’re coming up with all these amazing creations but we’re certainly not complaining.

First, it was the Spicy Nyonya Chicken. Then, it was the shell-less Kentaco. And if those weren’t guilt-inducing enough, they brought back their crispy chicken skin.

And now, they’re incorporating culinary flavours from the land of smiles into their signature fried chicken. Not travelling to Thailand any time soon? The newest KFC Spicy Thai Crunch will surely satisfy your cravings.

KFC is bringing the taste of Thailand to our very doorstep.

Feast your eyes on KFC’s Spicy Thai Crunch.

You don’t need to be a gourmand to know that Thai flavours are all about the spices and heat. If you’re an absolute slave for Thai food, you’re in for a treat. Set your lips on fire with KFC’s Spicy Thai Crunch, a Thai-inspired spicy fried chicken creation.

This feisty dish features KFC’s Signature Hot & Crispy Chicken glazed with a mouthwatering spicy Thai sauce and sprinkled generously with citrusy, rice crisps.

The secret to this fantastic dish is really, the rice crisps. Spiked with a tastefully sour spice combo of galangal, lemongrass, garlic and onion, these bits of goodness completely elevate the dish.

Now, comes the billion-dollar question — how does it taste?

Just like the rest of KFC’s fried chicken, its batter was shatteringly crispy. The crunch was elevated by the addition of the zesty crisps, which had a strong lemongrass-galangal profile. The chicken itself was juicy and tender, from the drumstick down to the breast meat.

As for the spiciness level, the heat doesn’t hit you right away, and rises steadily like a coastal wave. The climax of its spicy kick isn’t unbearable, though. The heat is also balanced out by the aromatic seasoning, which is truly aroy mak mak.

The KFC Spicy Thai Crunch is available in stores now! They come in various meal bundles such as the Spicy Thai Crunch 2pc Meal (S$8.95).

American and Korean fried chickens get a lot of attention, and not so much their Thai counterpart. But, with this new creation, we can see the tables turning very soon.

KFC Spicy Thai Crunch will available at all KFC restaurants except KFC Kidzania and Singapore Zoo.

KFC Singapore is known for its wild imagination and innovative creations. Besides serving Finger Lickin’ Good chicken, it has dedicated itself time and again to conjure up groundbreaking dishes that are downright delicious.

You’ve seen the Chizza and the Zinger Double Down. This time, KFC Singapore is back with yet another crazy culinary hybrid. Sick and tired of shattering messy tacos, they’ve embarked on a quest to bring to you a — wait for it — shell-less rendition of the Mexican dish.

Meet the Kentaco. KFC’s latest creation featuring a fried chicken taco shell that does not disappoint.

A cross between a taco and fried chicken, the Kentaco has swapped out the classic outer layer of corn tortilla for — you guessed it — fried chicken. We know, this could either be the worst mistake in the history of fried chicken experiments,  or a sheer culinary breakthrough.

The Kentaco (S$5.90) features a crispy chicken fillet that’s hand-breaded and fried to form a classic taco ‘U’ shape. Stuffed with fresh iceberg lettuce, diced tomatoes, decadent cheese sauce and shredded cheese, it’s the ultimate combo for cheese junkies.

Now, before the taco purists can scream “abomination”, how about a little taste test?

The breaded chicken was crispy on the outside and really tender on the inside, with the cheese serving as the perfect flavour booster. The lettuce and tomatoes added a refreshing crunch to the fried indulgence.

The best way to devour this is to just take one large bite of the whole monstrosity, getting an explosion of flavours from the chicken, cheese and veggies all at once.

Salivating already? Fret not, the Kentaco is available in-stores now!

For hungrier customers, the Kentaco Meal (S$7.95) is available, which comes with an addition of Medium Fries and 1 Regular Pepsi Black. Or, you can up the stakes with their Kentaco Box (S$9.95), served with 1 Piece Chicken, 1 Regular Whipped Potato, 1 Regular Fries and 1 Regular Pepsi Black.

KFC Kentaco will available at all KFC restaurants except KFC Kidzania and Singapore Zoo.

After months of anticipation, Five Guys is finally making its first foray into Singapore!

Hailing from the land of fast food, this American cult favourite is a fast-casual burger joint with a simple goal: selling the best quality burgers possible.

That’s quite a bold statement. Then again, Five Guys takes pride in standing out from the crowd – after all, they claim their burgers are made of the right stuff.

Starting out as a humble business venture by four (plus one) brothers, Five Guys soon became the spot to grab a freshly-grilled burger at.

The brand then took off, and the rest is history. Now boasting over 1,600 outlets worldwide, the brand has recently set its sights on Asia.

Brought in by Zouk Group, Five Guys will open its flagship local outlet in Plaza Singapura. Located next to the main atrium, the store offers both indoor and al fresco seating.

Because all its burgers are made-to-order, the patty retains its moisture, the greens stay crisp, the buns remain airy, and the cheese continues to melt.

The chunky beef patty is no doubt the highlight; oozing with meat juices and partially charred from the grill, these hand-formed patties pull away easily with each.

With up to 15 distinct toppings, whether you want a slight twist or plan to go all the way, the choice is yours.  Five Guys has all the right stuff on hand; it’s up to you to pick how much of it you want.

Handcut and made from real potatoes, these strips are fried in peanut oil until golden-brown. These snacks have a fantastic contrast: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. For something different, try their zesty Cajun seasoning!

If you’re feeling peckish while awaiting your meal, grab a handful of the complimentary roasted-in-shell peanuts for a quick snack. Addictively smoky, be careful not to fill up before your mains arrive!

Sliced butterfly-styled and freshly grilled, these hot dogs have the same smouldering saltiness as the patties. Pair them with your favourite toppings and savour with your bare hands – dripping sauces and all – for the optimal American diner experience!

For a lighter alternative, try their grilled sandwiches for an easier-on-your-belly and lower-calorie option without forgoing the brand’s signature taste and quality!

Smooth, creamy, and wonderfully saccharine. Handspun to the perfect consistency, the smoothies are an absolute slurpable delight, and the perfect accompaniments to the savoury-on-savoury profile of the mains.

Whether you’re an enthusiastic follower of Singapore’s Burger Wars or just craving a well-made burger, swing by Five Guys for a tantalising and unforgettable treat! Try to visit early; with how kiasu the foodie crowd is, that’s the only way to guarantee getting your hands on one!

With the festive season around the corner, the poultry of choice in the seasonal spotlight tends to be turkey. For those who are looking for something a little different this year, why not switch things up by trying KFC’s newest creation: Sour Cream & Onion Chicken?

Hot on the trails of multiple unique food inventions from the delightful Boba Tea Tarts to the sinfully tasty KFC Chicken Skin, KFC has been tapping into well-loved flavours of our local palate and integrating them into their menu items.

To celebrate 2019 drawing to a close, the chain draws its latest inspiration from the communal energy of sharing party snacks amidst the holiday cheer. By basing their latest release on a much-loved combination of flavours, this juicy new chicken main is sure to captivate all merrymakers as their newest go-to party snack.

Curious to know how this dish tastes? Read on to find out what we thought about KFC’s fresh new menu items of Sour Cream & Onion Chicken and Bolognese Cheese Fries, as well as the return of the popular Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tart!

KFC SOUR CREAM & ONION CHICKEN

For fans of KFC’s signature finger-lickin’ good fried chicken, you will love this new multi-layered and flavour-dense variant. Available at S$3.60 each or S$8.95 for a two-piece meal, what makes the Sour Cream & Onion Chicken so enticing isn’t just the winning combination of flavours involved, but the intricate sensory experience from the textural variance present.

For the usual fried chicken options, we expect the contrast between the signature crunch of the chicken skin against the moist tenderness of the flesh beneath. However, by covering the chain’s Hot & Spicy Chicken in a generous layer of crushed nacho chips before frying, the irregular coat of chips enhances the texture of the dish by breaking the surface consistency. The resultant eating experience is not just more thrilling, but more playful and fun as well.

The flavours involved work off a similar principle of careful layering. The original 11 herbs and spices blend may already be fragrant enough, but with the preference for heavier flavours courtesy of our local food culture, that alone may be insufficient to produce that desired wow factor. Instead of just using the spicy version, by applying a generous dusting of sour cream and onion sprinkle all over the chicken crust, the end product induces an explosion of flavours unlike any of KFC’s creations thus far.

The resultant eating experience is indeed akin to biting into a pack sour cream and onion chips, but with the added gratification of having a more substantial and flavourful protein base to savour the tangy sour cream off of. Unlike with chips, the presence of the chicken staved off what would have otherwise been an overwhelming infusion of sour cream and onion, thus prolonging the enjoyment of the eating process.

Move aside sour cream and onion chips; between the addictive crunch and the intricate flavours, the KFC Sour Cream & Onion Chicken is fast becoming our go-to party treat as well!

To refresh your throats after the piquant richness of the chicken, thankfully, the Sour Cream & Onion meals come with the perfect palate cleanser, SJORA® Mango Peach. It is the perfect accompaniment to your KFC festive meals, and deftly reinvigorates your appetite by cutting through the heartiness of the chicken and cheese fries.

KFC Sour Cream & Onion Chicken is available at all KFC restaurants except KFC KidZania, NTU Singapore, and Singapore Zoo.

KFC BOLOGNESE CHEESE FRIES

Looking for a little something else to pair with the Sour Cream & Onion Chicken? KFC has you covered with their next creation, Bolognese Cheese Fries (S$4.95)! If the chicken main is all about the acute individual spikes of intensity, then this side complements the former by excelling in the inverse: a slow even build-up of the dish’s medley of flavours.

Cheese and Bolognese – a classic taste pairing in Italian cuisine that has endeared many of us to the familiarity of the flavours involved. Layering their signature creamy cheese topping on a bed of savoury and tangy chicken Bolognese sauce makes this already delectable side dish even more indulgent.

What we really appreciate is the generous helping of minced chicken as an accompaniment; it turns what tends to be a carb-based afterthought into a complex treat worthy of its own limelight.

KFC Bolognese Cheese Fries is available at all KFC restaurants except KFC Singapore Zoo.

KFC CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT EGG TART

The festive season will not be complete without a dessert of some sort. Back by hugely popular demand, the chain’s incredibly well-received KFC Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tart is making a return (S$1.50/piece or S$7.50/5 with 1 free)!

A favourite of many, KFC’s Portuguese egg tarts are a delight to behold: the golden sheen of the thin flaky crust holds within it a smooth creamy centre of delicious custard goodness. As appealing as the original tarts are, the addition of the chocolate hazelnut spread elevates it to an almost heavenly status. Because of how the tart isn’t overly saccharine, the sweet nutty aftertaste of the chocolate hazelnut pairs wonderfully with the mild sweetness of the base treat.

Following the predominant concept of flavour and texture layering this season, the thicker consistency of the chocolate acts as a binding element between the silken custard core and the crisp exterior, giving a pleasant chewiness to the overall mouthfeel that has so many of us craving for more.

KFC Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tart is available at all KFC restaurants except Blk 501 Jurong West Street 51, Changi Jewel, KidZania, Lorong 1 Toa Payoh, Punggol Oasis Terraces, and Singapore Zoo.
