Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) @ Bangkok, Thailand

Some people argued that whenever you are overseas, you should try authentic food that the host country offers, instead of items you could have back in your home country.

I beg to differ, slightly; at least try the fast food restaurants! Like the Macdonald's in Thailand, they could have offerings that are not available back in Singapore.

One fast food restaurant i frequently patronise when i am out of Singapore is Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).  

Original Recipe Chicken from KFC Singapore
Sick and tired of hearing people complain that Singapore's KFC is the worst in the whole (note: WHOLE) world, i would try KFC in other countries if time permits and fate decides.

So far, the countries are Malaysia, China and most recently, Thailand.

Ordering the set that cost 119 Baht (about S$5.30) with 2 piece chicken, 3 hot wings and 1 cold drink, i was cautiously warned by the cashier that the wings were very hot!

They were not hot...

From a person who doesn't take chilli like the pros (Hannah Lim, Kasie Au etc), you can imagine how un-hot they were to solicit that kinda comment from me.

But they sure were tasty with a very thick coat of spicy powder (spicy, not hot though)!

Coming to the very important chicken, which was more like the hot and crispy version in Singapore.

The batter was much better with a thinner, even coating that didn't even come with that pungent oily taste that was so prevalent in the KFC (hot n crispy) in Singapore.

Meat wise, i personally thought it tasted fresher with more moisture. Mommy was not impressed since she felt that the fried chicken lacked the rich flavour (maybe she meant the secret recipe consisting of 11 herbs and spices) back in Singapore.

Nonetheless, i thought the KFC in Thailand was comparable to Malaysia's version (worst i had was in China). There's however one grouch i need to get off of my chest!

A cup of cold drink had more than half a cup of ice!!! Bloooody unhappy lor......... Especially when it was the day of high temperature in Bangkok!
