Walkers MAX Kentucky Fried Chicken Crisps and MAX double crunch KFC Zinger

Kfc have done a few crossovers with various crisps brands including Lays and Calbee.
I was excited with the Walkers crossover because it was an English favourite brand that tastes good.
Although it was nice, it lacked that kfc spice flavouring and it was quite salty.
The other kfc crossover I tried was Lays KFC bbq which tasted like Lays Masala magic.
In general Lays and Calbee crisps are weirdly sweet for savoury flavours.
Lays and Calbee have some bizarre sweet ones like lemon tea, coffee, melon bingsu and strawberry flavoured crisps.
Rating: 3/5


Walkers MAX double crunch KFC Zinger:
These were not bad and they were very crunchy as claimed.
The taste was quite spicy like a zinger and also very salty.

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] 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] Lays Maxx Deep Ridged BBQ flamed crisps X KFC

Got these Lays Maxx Deep Ridged BBQ flamed crisps X KFC from KFC which were 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 The Original Recipe Vegan Burger in 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 have 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.

As soon as Veganuary began, I just couldn't wait to try it.

I went to the Hailsham branch where the Vegan burger wasn't on the main menu so I thought they didn't have it but they did.


After I ordered, I discovered the product shot on the window near the exit which isn't helpful as most people would have ordered by the time they look in that direction.
The burger came after waiting for a few minutes, it came in a green box with the words Zero chicken.
When I held the box, it felt so light as if there was nothing in there.


Taking a bite, the patty was rock hard and dry, but it was a no brainer to realize they have fried it for too long.
I would have requested another one but friends were with me so I didn't bother.
Luckily half of the patty was normal so I was able to try the good side of it which was so delicious complemented by the creamy mayonnaise which is also vegan.
I would describe the patty as the closest one that tastes like chicken patty but I wouldn't say say chicken filet because the texture is more like the chicken nuggets from McDs that is made of pink slime and not much of chicken.


To summarize, I will definitely have another one as it was so good because of the delicious iconic coating but at a different branch because this branch seemed like it was the first time they served it.

My good old KFC in England

This is the KFC we have in ENGLAND!

Perfect fries accompanied by gravy, the fries are slightly crispy and soft in the inside dusted lightly with salt.
The fried chicken is fried just right, there is a light crispy coating that is not too hard.
The size of the drumsticks I have seen in Hong Kong are tiny and slightly smaller than the KFC sporks!
