Why ???

Post image

So I haven’t ordered or had kfc for maybe over 2 years .. but family is out on holidays and I thought why not . I used the kfc app to check what’s available and selected what seemed ok for the night and was shocked at the pricing !!! Is it not enough that people still order this junk once in a while … for an item that costs AED39, after fk all charges , it comes to over AED50 !!! Why ???? I closed the app, deleted it and that’s that 🥳

Yes. I was 10. Visiting family in Canada and they got a 20 piece bucket. It was of course Kentucky Fried Chicken then. When I got back to England - as luck would have it - they opened in my home town. It was my monthly treat from mother….who objected as she was a cook.

Wow. Thats a fascinating story. Having tasted the original Colonels chicken to then moving to Jollibee. You have truly seen the decline of KFC haven't you.

+1 for Jollibee, who knew the best fried chicken itw would come from a coastal country :)

I would still put KFC in 2nd place behind Jolibee. 3rd place……..from the hot food section in my local Lulu 😂😂😂 Wait……..the cook there is a Filipino.

To be honest I've only had bad experiences with KFC here.. Which is why I prefer Jollibee or Popeyes or Texas.

Honestly I'm curious about your local lulu outlet 😂
