Their new summer promotion started in late July, about 2 weeks ago. Finally had the chance to buy their Summer Variety Bucket ($89!) which serves three people but is not available for delivery, only dining in or taking out. Made a trip to this branch at the beginning of the big Wanchai market after a long day at my summer job.For some reason the "Summer variety bucket" was in fact a rectangular box that held all the chicken - the sweet and sour glazed chicken was stacked on top of the drumsticks
Made a trip to this branch at the beginning of the big Wanchai market after a long day at my summer job.
For some reason the "Summer variety bucket" was in fact a rectangular box that held all the chicken - the sweet and sour glazed chicken was stacked on top of the drumsticks and chicken breasts
The "bucket", with 3 soda drinks, consisted of:
1. Sweet and sour glazed chicken wings 6 pieces
This is the ultimate champion of the bucket! Resembles buffalo wings chicken minus the liquid smoke and spice factor, just a sweet thick sauce, perhaps with worcestershire sauce. A good accompaniment to the mild-tasting mushroom rice, which is included in the bucket. This brings back the "finger lickin' good" back to KFC!
2. Chili lime chicken 1 breast and 1 drumstick
Very spicy. More like popcorn chicken, with a crunchy breading thicker than their original fried chricken. Could hardly detect the tang of the lime marinade though. Recommended, but be warned, it is tabasco-like, almost stingingly spicy.
3. Flava Roast 1 breast and 1 drumstick
As the name inferred, it's roasted, the only in the bucket that wasn't fried. The meat is still very moist and juicy, even in the breast. The marinade is subtle and slightly sweet. Almost like homestyle herb-baked chicken, but not heavily spiced. It's OK, not particularly outstanding, just a change from the usual.
4. Original 1 breast and 1 drumstick
The usual. A reliable standby to order at KFC. I actually prefer this over to Flava Roast. My dining partner agreed.
5. Mushroom rice 2 regular size (about fist size)
This is a regional dish in Hong Kong. Canned sliced mushroom pieces in a thin mushroom-tasting (mind you, it's the flavor, I don't know it's ingredients) sauce on top of plain jasmine rice. Bland and definitely passable. I suggest Campbell's cream of mushroom on top of fresh white rice as a substitute! The only reason it's included in meals is to make customers feel as if they are getting more for their value.
6. Chicken a la king rice 1 regular size (about fist size)
Another rice dish. White sauce (ie. cornstarch and chicken bouillon?) with frozen peas, corn, carrots, and of course, previously frozen shredded chicken, like Tyson's. Also passable.
And last but not least:
Dark sugar mochi egg tarts 3 pieces
Chewy but very soft, almost viscous (and liquid like), with a very deep brown sugar flavor. This was much better than I expected - I thought portugese tarts, with its already rich egg custard filling, would be over-the-top with mochi (made from glutinous rice) and with brown sugar! But These egg tarts had more mochi than custard. In fact the middle, with little egg custard, was cracked and revealed the mochi, hardly passing as "egg" tarts! But I still highly recommend this limited edition dessert if you have a sweet tooth. I will go back for more. Make sure you eat it fresh, or within 3 hours (because it was still fresh then), when the puff pastry is still flakey. Post-freshness, it just crumbles together.
A highly enjoyable, cheap and quick meal for sharing. Think I will have another one very soon.
