The Double Down Scrutiny

When i saw the KFC Double Down TM commercial on tv about a month ago, i've been curious about how it would taste like.

Our office building has one KFC store at the ground floor, and i always see the big poster of the product at the counter. On the first week of the double down press release, i saw that the poster has been marked "Sold Out" for several consecutive days - which made me more curious about it's taste.

In the following weeks, whenever i drop by the store, i still hear people ask for the same product. I was still not buying then because i was assuming that i would have to wait for a while since the sandwich is very in-demand.

Today, i was able to see and taste the thing.

There's no big difference in taste when compared to their original recipe chicken. Only it is boneless and oilier in appearance.

I was really looking for the bacon strip that looked tender and deliciously red in the poster. But while munching, i thought i was seeing and eating pieces of ham.

The cheese was nicely melted and spread inside. But the slight tang of the mayo on my first bite made the first impression~ I think that without the mayo, you'd be better off eating crispy strips =P


This is how it looks like in the poster

When served, it looks more like this..





I am a self-proclaimed chicken lover, eater and a critic.
