KFC Spicy Sawadee Crunch gives a much better Thai Experience than the overpriced McDonald's Thai Fish Burger






MCDONALD'S

I recently tried the McDonald's Thai Fish Burger Green Curry Sauce after watching all the catchy advertisements, -

"Discover the taste of Thailand with the NEW Thai Fish Burger! Made with crispy fish fillet, mixed vegetables and spicy green curry sauce, all in a special chili bun. It's a taste to THAI for!"





So at about 1 am in the morning after a night of meeting,on the way back I did a pit stop at the Jalan Pahang McDonald's Drive Through.

McDonald's is one of my favourite restaurants. It has done a great job over the years engaging the customers with its VIP promotions and awesome products.

I was really hungry so i parked on the side and dug in to my burger.
VERDICT The Thai Fish Burger is one overpriced Product that i wont be having again. Compared to the Spicy Chicken McDeluxe and GCB,  this Thai Fish Burger was so lame.

The Crispy Fish Fillet was no different like any other. They were stingy with the spicy green curry sauce  so it could not hold the mixed vegetables, which then just fell over everywhere and just made a mess. There was nothing great about the chili bun. At RM14.00 for an A la Carte Thai Fish Burger this is one burger i wont Thai for!!! The Large set cost RM18.60! 








KFC

A week later i stumbled upon the KFC Advertisement. I was wondering what is it, with this  two fast food chains Thai Promotion. I knew Deepavali was around the corner, was it their way of promoting something spicy?

Packed with bursts of aromatic, spicy and citrusy Thai flavours, the new KFC Spicy Sawadee Crunch is unmistakably Thai!









Anyway i decided to try the KFC offering after having tried the McDonald's Thai Fish Burger. So I did a pit stop at the Jalan Genting Klang KFC and ordered two sets of the 3pc Spicy Sawadee Crunch Combo. The 2 pc Combo with mashed potato, coleslaw and a drink was priced at RM13.50 . That was a plus over the Mc Donald's offer already.

While some of the online reviewers have complained their chicken did not look like the picture mine actually did look like it.

I took my first bite and walla!...... it was awesome. Not Only was the chicken juicy on the inside like the original but it was now spicy and tangy. I usually have loads of chilly sauce with my chicken i did not even need one packet with this meal. I refused to spoil the taste i was enjoying. At first you might be hit with the spices as it coats the skin of the chicken but keep going and you will realize it blends in well with the chicken. The Spicy chicken went well with the mashed potato and coleslaw.

I can see this replacing the KFC usual Spicy offering. Since then i have had it three times this week.

VERDICT: KFC's Thai offering wins by a knock-out . It was very tasty, combined well with the mash potato and coleslaw and  very well priced. 

Here are some reviews on YouTube!
