KFC's Colonel Fish and Chips is Bulls***!

I've been a Fish and Chips fan since young. Whenever there is an offering of this dish but any restaurant or foodstall, I will not hesitate to try it when I'm in a FishAndChips mood.

And I've been noticing KFC's yummy looking Colonel's Fish and Chips advert. I took a screenshot of their website:

Looks good rite.....

And so I bought it and brought it to Laksamaiham's place to eat. Wow, placed in a big box which usually contains the 3 or 4 pc Chicken parts, so it must be quite a bit.

Erm, not so, when I opened. Its only average, like the size of my hand, which is not very big. I decided not to use the plastic knife and fork supplied, but instead opted to use my hands.

So here I went, taking my first bite. "Hey, where's the fish?" OK maybe its the first bite so you can see or smell the fillet yet. Secod bite. No fillet. By the time the third bite was taken, I had already chewed off 1/4 of the whole fillet. And here's the photo on the third bite:


Wow! I could see some fish fillet after looking hard enough! The taste of KFC's spicy coated breaded crust was unmistakeable. Even more so when the crust adds up to 80% of the thickness of the whole fillet. Hello! Somebody caught ikan bilis today instead of cods or snappers!

And the price of this meal? $5.95 (U.P. $9.75). Crisp and Spicy. Of course its crisp! 80% crust and 20% fish! I paid for a Colonel but I got a Corporal. This is disappointing and will be the last time I'm eating that thing. Maybe KFC already knows. Because it is stated that this is 'Available for a limited time only'.

And I should have known. KFC used to stand for Kentucky Fried Chicken, not Kings of Fish and Chips.
