KFC @ Ascendas, Chennai - Review
KFC at Chennai - Food Review
The much hyped KFC is finally in chennai. I believe KFC was opened more than a month or two ago. But only today I had the chance to visit. The famous KFC logo and smiling colonel in a perfect red background can be seen in Ascendas’s Food court. So what’s so special about KFC? The chickens are fried in a mash made up of 11 ingredients, which is one of the best kept trade secrets till now.
Interiors
Well KFC outlet is in Ascendas’s food court. Nothng new to report. The exclusive counter is modern and simple.
Food
KFC serves veg and non-veg food. Sorry I didnt look at the veg menu, so I don’t know what they serve for veg. Overall, the menu is limited. No lengthy foot long menu.
They sell burgers, chicken fries, meals, bucket chicken etc. The highlight is the bucket chicken, which contains 8 or 12 pieces of assorted chicken (legs, breast, wings etc). All covered and fried with the secret ‘masala’.
We ordered for Chicken Bucket feast which came with a bucket of chicken (8 pieces), two veg-rice, 4 pepsis, 4 ice creams. Extras included are the raitha like stuff and tomato sauce.
Ordering
There are 4 counters, where you can place your order and pay by cash. Yes, plastic money is outta question, only real money. During peak hours, it takes nearly 10 minutes to reach the counter.. 2 minutes to order and 5-7 minutes to get the food delivered. Remember, it is self-service.
Taste
I was restless to taste the “one of the world’s best kept trade secrets”, and as soon as we reached our table, we attacked!. Kara kara moru moru… bites. Its not sweet.. not spicy.. = kind of bland in taste. 
Atleast to me, it is bland. But the chicken was good. Well boiled, easy to bite.. and overall decent.
Conclusion
KFC’s taste is bland when compared to our desi items. I don’t find any spectacular or wow taste in it. Try it and see, you may find the taste to be good..or you may find it bland. Taste is subjective. And as for me, no wonder KFC increased my love for our chicken tandoori, kadai chicken, pepper chicken, pallipalayam chicken etc more and more.
Oh Btw, mind where you sit in KFC’s exclusive dine. Most of the tables are visited by unwanted visitors.. the flies. So get your tray and move to the hall.
