#Sjor Mango Peach

[buffetlicious]

To coincide with Lunar New Year, KFC Singapore launched the Chicken Bak Kwa Burger and Chicken Bak Kwa Crunch. Available for a limited time from 24 January to 22 February 2024. The Chicken Bak Kwa Crunch featured Hot & Crispy Chicken coated with smokey Bak Kwa seasoning powder and and topped with Bak Kwa bits.

I had the Chicken Bak Kwa Burger Meal (S$9.95) with the burger, Sweet Potato Fries and Sjor Mango Peach drink. Burger came in a bright red box for that “Huat” (prosperity) feeling. Without lifting up the top bun, this looks no different from the normal Zinger burger. The bak kwa bits are made from chicken and not the usual pork as our KFC is certified halal. The crispy Zinger fillet is coated with a smoky and savoury seasoning, giving the burger a peppery kick. But the chicken had been dry and tough ever since KFC reduced the thickness of the fillet. While the bak kwa bits tasted decent, they can’t compare to the authentic version made from pork. I find that KFC Singapore should just stick to doing fried chicken as their burgers are lackluster compared to their closest competitors. I used to love their juicy Zinger burger but cost cutting destroyed it making it dry and tough to swallow.
