Chicken nuggets at KFC

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.

Sweet potato balls at KFC Hong Kong

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 before.
Also new was the cheesy chicken.
They had the self ordering kiosks so it made life convenient but one machine allows octopus while the other kiosk is for credit cards only, probably intended so it it convenient for them at the end of the day to do the cashing up.
The balls were smaller than expected.
There were purple and orange balls and inside it was vice versa.

Both were crispy with a  sweet starchy filling.
Overall, just a sweet snack but I wouldn't recommend it.

Different qualities at different branches
2019-07-14  69 瀏覽
Previously had the luncheon ham chicken bucket at Shun Tak's KFC which was damn good so decided to get it again at Metro City.
The queues are long as usual but luckily they now have the self ordering kiosks but you do get some slow people who take ages.

If this had been my first luncheon ham meal I wouldn't have liked it because the luncheon ham here is dry and overdone while the rice was soggy.
The thing that made up for it were the chips which HONG KONG never had until now.
PERHAPS THEY HAD IT BUT I WAS STILL IN UK.
The fries were chunky and delicious so I can't wait to go back for chips again and try a different branch to see how the quality is.

HOPEFULLY ONE DAY HONG KONG WILL SERVE CHICKEN GRAVY LIKE THEY DO IN UK.

Over the moon with the world's first KFC mooncakes
2019-07-17  114 瀏覽
A while ago, I spotted this huge signage that KFC was going to open a new branch at Causeway Bay in July so made a mental note about it.
The new branch is located on the corner and occupies two floors!!
 0 讚好


The street level is Sweet Box which is grab and go desserts and drinks, the first floor is the ordering area with self service kiosks and bar seats while the second floor is the main dining area.
 0 讚好


Both floors have an order screen that indicates the orders that are ready to pick up.

Attended the KFC Causeway Bay new store and Mooncake official launch.

At the new concept store, there are some exclusive options to give diners a different experience.
Grilled chicken combo:
The chicken is grilled to order and it was really comforting because it visually reminded me of nandos, although the taste is different.
The chicken tastes like the flava roast.
 0 讚好


Oven glazed hot wings platter:
The wings platter is great for sharing.
My favourites were the garlic cheese and honey glazed hot wings while most people liked the sweet chili.

Chizza:
Previously this was only available takeaway but they were so popular that it is now offered for dine ins.
It was appetizing with the pineapple chunks.
 0 讚好


Baked rice with chicken filet combo:
For carb lovers, this is another option as well as the rice buckets.
All of them were tasty but my favourite had to be the  grilled chicken because it was grilled to perfection.

As well as chicken, they have desserts!!!


For mid Autumns festival, I was over the moon with their new World's ever KFC moonlight bucket which lights up with LED.

Inside this cool moonlight bucket you will find Moonakes!!!

There are two flavours:  Golden Lava custard and Spicy chicken and nuts mooncakes.
The Golden Lava custard is a popular mooncake in Hong Kong so it can't go wrong.


For the Spicy Chicken and nuts mooncake, think of it like chewy chicken biscuits gaaijaibeng with chicken floss and nuts inside just like the five nuts mooncake.


Overall I felt that the chicken mooncakes were quite traditional so it won't be a shock for the tastebuds.

Soba Noodles at KFC Hong Kong
2019-07-15  156 瀏覽
I was at Shun Tak to try this Japanese place but unfortunately I was lured by the something at KFC!
It was the bucket rice combo because it had luncheon meat which is not what you should find at KFC!
On the other poster, there was soba noodles which I thought was there to make the picture look Japanese and they really had it so I ordered that as well.
I made my order through the self service kiosk but when my order was ready, it didn't show up on the screen but luckily I was nearby waiting for it.
To my surprise, the fried chicken was actually good.
The coating was light and the chicken was tender.
The luncheon meat was really good because it had a crispy surface yet it was moist in the middle.
Sadly I tried this at a different branch and had that been my first experience I would have hated it.
Also tried the soba noodles for fun but the ones they serve are the thick ones which isn't my cup of tea.

Will go back anyway because some other branches might be good but I don't recommend Metro City in PoLam

KFC spotted in TKL with Self Serve kiosks

I am so glad there is a KFC in TKL and the best thing is that there is a self service kiosk because the one at Wongtaisin and Hanghau does not have these kiosks so you have to queue at the medieval queue.
Not really a fan of the KFC in Hong Kong as they are standardized to Hongkie style ie CRUNCHY chicken.
Ended up getting the salted egg chicken wings which were crispy covered in rich salted egg yolk with a slight spiciness to it.
The mashed potato was also damn localised as it had black pepper in it.
My last hope was the chicken a la king which is also hongkie style with black pepper in it.

KFC now has fried chicken coated with golden egg yolk.The fried chicken and coating is very different to UK so I rarely have it unless there is something new.
Tried the softserve with salted egg yolk sauce a few weeks ago which lacked sauce.
This time tried the fried chicken and chicken wings with salted egg yolk.
Clearly the fried chicken is CRUNCHY in HK from their Motto which I can't stand, Jollibee and Popeyes are better as the coating is much nice and the quality of the chicken is better.
Burger King has some seriously delicious fried chicken but sadly overpriced!!
Anyway, the fried chicken was not good as the salted egg yolk was only on the surface and it was just dry and hard.
The chicken wings were much nicer as it was evenly coated and not as hard.
But both had a spicy kick to it which wasn't very nice.
The lighting is interesting as it was avocado shaped, not sure how it is related to Chicken though.
