I got Nee a KFC Chicken Fillet Burger yesterday. Just to reassure you, we haven't been having KFCs for quite some time now. Apart from the email rumours that we've read concerning the way they rear their chickens, we've always felt that Chicago 7 has much better broasted chickens.
Well, Nee has been having a craving for chicken sandwiches with fresh tomatoes, lettuce & cucumbers. Unfortunately we couldn't find any really good ones at a time like this & so we thought this pretty much looked like a good substitute.
And so I went hunting, clubbed this chicken & dragged it home like a caveman.
But what was behind the wrappings shocked me to near death. This burger was sickly off colour & it didn't look like the one we saw in the picture. The lettuce died & the chicken fillet was shy.
KFC, I really don't know what's wrong here. I mean, this thing could fit into the palm of my hand. An I bet I could finish this off with just two manly bites.
I wonder what happened to the good old days when you could hold a burger with two hands? Well look how much it has shrunk. For your information, the green apple next to it is not a giant Fuji apple. It's a Granny Smith & it's small.
I was mad of course. I thought I bought a burger but got a pastry instead.
There is probably a small print on the KFC advert somewhere that tells you that the picture is not necessarily reflecting the real product. And these are usually in small print because they hope you don't see it. But come to think of it, that's like saying ok, we may be lying but we told you, so don't sue us.
I found out that in other places, the Fillet burger is called a mini burger. Read this article here.

i know exactly what you are saying bc i just had a mushroom swiss at burger king n it was pathetic. single patty, small n very little m/room for rm7.50! i saw someone eat a whopper n it was a puny burger. typical 'steal work cut quality' malaysian way.
i find the burgers at KFC pathetic & go there only for the chicken, & even then, only when i have a craving.
otherwise, it's the burger or pizza joint.
belated congrats on the opening of Nee's.
hahaha, so true so true!
Great post! I’m looking to make some changes in my own eating habits and learning to cook, so I appreciate your insight a lot! Thank you. I recently stumbled upon this blog like I did yours and I thought your readers may appreciate it: http://burisonthecouch.wordpress.com/2010/11/04/food-for-thought/
I’ve started to look for blog help more regularly and I think I’m going to add your blog to my list as well. Thanks for the post!
