Food Review: KFC New Variety Bucket

Verdict: Not Worth It At All. Don't Try It.

What you get: -
1) 3 pieces OR chicken
2) 3 pieces Hot & Spicy chicken
3) 2 Regular Whipped Potato
4) 8 Chicken Fingers
5) 1 Large Potato Wedges
Price: RM27.50

How much does it cost ala carte?
3 pieces OR chicken - RM7.90
3 pieces H&S chicken - RM7.90
2 regular whipped potato - RM3.00
8 chicken fingers - RM7.60
1 Large Potato Wedges - RM2.80
Total Price: RM29.20

That's a total of only RM1.70 difference. Not worth being called a package deal. Totally unlike (real example here) Dominos Pizza whereby if you order a large pizza only, you get a regular free... and a regular costs more than RM10 for sure.

What's bad? ONE: The chicken fingers are totally below par. You can get a better and cheaper chicken fingers by buying frozen ones from hypermarkets and fry them yourself at less than half the price and better the taste. There's totally NO chicken filamen/strips in the fingers. Too much starch. TWO: We all know that potato wedges is useless without the cheesy stuff. It's like eating satay without the peanut sauce, or eating roti canai without the curry/dhal, or eating cornflakes without the milk, or drinking teh 'o' ais without the straw.

Again, in short, not worth due to the two reasons above.
