KFC Zinger Tower
We were wandering around One Utama last week. One Utama is buzzing with activities as many people started to do their last minute shopping as the Chinese New Year is fast approaching.
To avoid the crowd, we wanted to sit down and grab a quick bite somewhere. My appetite goes thru the roof staring at the attractive banner ad of the new zinger tower and the classic KFC smell leaded us into it. The next thing we know is that we were already queuing behind the counter.
The Zinger Tower Set
I (kinda) forced KampungBoy to take the Zinger Tower Set (RM 15.90) which comprises of 1 zinger tower, 1 pepsi max (R), 1 mango pudding & 1 zinger time watch. I needed a non metallic, i.e. plastic watch for my weekly hike but was too kiam siap to spend on one.
The burger looked impressive; with layers of soft bun, fresh lettuce, zinger fillet, cheese, hash brown and a dressing of zesty chili lime sauce. I slowly but surely devoured my zinger tower, and talk about hitting the spot! Personally, I love the refreshing and citrusy chili lime sauce (despite some thinks that it tastes like dish washer) and the oh-so-crispy hash brown.
My fat stubby fingers and my new outdoor watch in vibrant yellow. Nice?
Talking about putting my own waste-line at great personal risk to answer the question “is the zinger tower a total rip off?” Well, go for the ala carte zinger tower (RM 6.60) or the X meal set (RM 10.50) with an additional chicken drumstick and drink which give more value for money if you are not interested on the zinger time watch (RM 9.90 with every chicken meal purchased). KampungBoy, can I have another three colors of the zinger time watch please? One for hiking, one for running and another one for tennis.

That burger looks quite huge in your hands compared to the Prosperity rip-off. Bet it tastes much better too.

I actually like this, despite my vehement aversion towards KFC in general.. think the dressing’s over-artificially “zesty” but otherwise, this makes me happy enough!

still miles cheaper than Prosp set. RM18.80 for a set is ….. pricey and tasteless, beef patty.
sadly no fries for this set?!!
