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.
My favorite… slurp slurp
but 15.90 with the watch sounds like a good deal to me 😛
i love the way the tempt to to keep fit (i.e. get a plastic watch for cardio activities/workouts) by eating junk food!.. Muahahhaha.. at least you plan to burn off the kcals which is a good thing.. no ? lol
I still like the old one better loh 🙁 without the hash brown one
That burger looks quite huge in your hands compared to the Prosperity rip-off. Bet it tastes much better too.
Makes me wanna take a bite too! lol.
i was tempted to try out but my colleague was condemning the tower, how oily etc. but i guess it is good? but but, why should they not have the set of tower+cheesy wedges????
Hmmmppphhh!
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?!!
hm.. but don’t you think the actual burger and the one in the photo are so much different? I was being cheated once.. It’s totally out of expected.. =(
Hey Xin.. I like your idea.. “tower+cheesy wedges” haha.
just had one! hahahah …. the hash brown was soft and soggy though.
i tapau one anyway. but the size really enough for one meal.
not bad, not bad …..
wow the burger is really BIG!
had this when i was studying in aust years back.. it’s called tower burger there..a bit taller la, they served with a slice of pineapple somemore..hahaha
I didn’t quite like the spicy lime sauce though.
it’s quite ok i guess without the lime sauce..i still prefer the old one though..
I had mine in 1 Utama too lol.
