KFC

[DUNROAMIN]

OK, so I know that Thailand doesn't like "farangs" however, this is the last straw , KFC Thailand has deleted the "Original" flavor chicken line, what next, beef patties replaced with pork for McDonalds burgers???? Amazing Thailand.

[josephbloggs]

One of the most hilarious posts I have seen here.  I assumed you were joking.....but then I checked your other posts and you are ranting about it elsewhere so I think perhaps you mean it.

Do you honestly believe this is an anti-farang conspiracy?  For a forum that is filled with ridiculous people with chips on their shoulders (not KFC chips though, obviously) this one wins the all time prize of ridiculousness.

Oh my God, best you leave.  Or please tell me this was tongue in cheek.  Looking at your other posts though it seems it was not........oh God.  Oh, going through more you are very ranty about Thais and Thailand in general.  You have outdone even Fruitman with this one though.  Anti Farang conspiracy at KFC, ha ha ha ha.

Oh my.

I like the crunchy spicy KFC as do the kids

[canuckamuck]

I don't think it is a conspiracy, but it is a shame. I do occasionally relent and eat KFC, when stuck in a food court situation. But I only order the original. The spicy tastes more artificial, and it gives you the runs more quickly than the original.

Well that's it for me!! I'm done here for good!

Try Texas Chicken if you can find one near you.  Much better imo.

When you say "original flavor", do you guys mean "gai noom"?

 

If so, my 10 year old daughter is going to be devastated.  She can not stand the spicy crispy "gai grob" chicken. She loves the "gai noom" though.

 

When did this happen? And is it at every branch, or only specific ones?

There's thousands of chicken restaurants in Thailand many way better than KFC.  Texas Chicken is a good alternative.

Tell them Farang lives matter.

 

Where do I sign up?

[nightfox]

As many others agree, Texas chicken is a way better product then KFC. Problem with Texas chicken is that there are under 10 outlets stores in the whole of Thailand which half are on highway PTTT gas stations compare to hundreds of KFC stores.

 

Thailand is just to slow in expanding new fast food restaurants.

Amazing how deluded some foreigners are. Like it some sort of conspiracy.

 

Its just business, a business sells what is most in demand. If Thais have a different taste then its only normal for KFC to change a bit so they sell more.

 

Just supply and demand.

The Colonel,must be spinning in his grave.

Where do they find those chickens with 6 wings ,four legs and aparently no breasts.

I bought some "original recipe" KFC just last week. Is this a Thailand wide decision, or just per store?

 

To be honest, I have always been surprised that KFC in Thailand sells the non-spicy original recipe. Often it is not available and I have to wait a long time for them to fry up a fresh batch, in which case I pass. Late at night they won't cook it. If they have discontinued it in all stores, it's because it's a slow mover, and that becomes a quality issue too as they are supposed to, according to franchise rules, throw it out if it has been sitting in the warmer for over a certain period. I don't think they do and often the "original recipe" chicken is subpar (dry) due to it sitting in the warmer too long.

 

To call it a deliberate afront to foreigners is absurd. If it is gone, too bad. I think I can live without it LOL.

OMG- do you need counselling or a big sloppy hug. I suggest that if this is the biggest concern in your life it shouldn't be. You must be gutted, just don't be sick as a parrot (not that I believe KFC contains parrots).

@DUNROAMIN

 

Do you really think that original KFC chicken = farang and spicy chicken = Thai?

 

Then are we going to get kimchi chicken = korean and wasabi chicken = Japanese?

 

Everytime I eat at KFC, there seems to be a longer waiting time for the original KFC flavor. So I am not surprised they ditched it.

The only thing more positive would be if they were all run out of the country.

(Fast food “restaurants“, not Thais) ????

The thought had crossed my mind - that Thai people would not be interested in non-spicy, original recipe chicken.

 

As I live in Pattaya, the stores I visit all have a fairly high number of foreign customers (pre-covid-19, not now), so I assumed they are the ones buying the original recipe.

[Bruce Aussie Chiang Mai]

OK once I crack the recipe it's all on my place. All invited.

????❤????????????

New Texas Chicken opened on Silom Road a few doors from Burger King. Hurry up, they are probably still doing an introductory 2 for 1  deal (as of last week).

 

And I noticed a new outlet under construction in one of the Chulalongkorn Uni sois. Opposite the Samyan Market (close to the wide open car park and geodesic dome).

KFC in Thailand has always been missing one or 2 of the 13 secret spices in the original KFC recipe.

One does get sick of Thai spicy foods. it seems to be a mind set here that everything you eat has to have chilli in it.

This one was tongue in cheek, settle down, I like ranting especially when the glove fits. You will know when I am really <deleted> off. And this is a forum to express your likes and dislikes, is it not.

I got a Texas chicken in the mall near me, could even get delivered by Grab.

Recipe changing has a long history at KFC.

When a "Crispy" version was introduced years ago, the Colonel panned it by telling the media that it tasted like "wallpaper paste".

His brutally frank assessment led to his contract being renegotiated forcing him out with unseemly haste.

I can't seem to find Texas Chicken in Chiang Mai either.

Personally, I am always amused by the slogan " finger licking good" emblazoned across the "embonpoint" of the young ladies who work behind the counter of my local KFC!
