If it’s not already obvious, Singaporeans LOVE their fast food.
Last month, Singaporeans went Nasi Lemak Burger-crazy when McDonald’s released the limited edition burger. In fact, Singaporeans loved it so much that McDonald’s sold out of these local-inspired burgers in less than 2 weeks!
Clearly, we take our fast food very seriously.
The New Burger In Town
Recently, KFC released a teaser image on its Facebook page – the silhouette of a burger.
The image was simply captioned “Are you down for a new version of an all-time favourite?”
Netizens quickly began speculating, and many of them guessed that this signified the return of the all meat, no bun Zinger Double Down Burger.
The burger is basically meat stacked upon meat, stacked upon yet more meat, with 2 Zinger fillets sandwiching turkey bacon strips, cheese, and some sauces.
Singaporeans were visibly excited, sharing and engaging with the post. That is, until KFC revealed today that it was releasing a Double Steamed Chicken burger.
What… The… Hell… Right?
Similar, and yet very much unlike the beloved Zinger Double Down Burger, the Double Steamed Chicken Burger comprises two steamed chicken fillets, sauerkraut coleslaw, spicy pickled cucumber and sambal honey sauce.
This news was (understandably) met with fury from fans of KFC, with commenters being quick to remind the fast food chain what the F in its name stood for; “fried” chicken is what KFC is known for, not, well, steamed chicken.
Is KFC Trolling Us All?
Of course, there is a shred hope that this is all just a joke and that KFC is just trolling us all – at least, that’s what we hope is going on here.
What do you guys think? Is this a joke? Is KFC for real? Let us know in the comments!
