KFC Brings The Salted Egg Trend Back With Their New GoldSpice Chicken
This July and August, KFC will be launching new items on its menus.
Inspired by Singaporeans’ love for salted egg, curry, chilli and fried chicken, KFC has come up with a limited time menu item specially to commemorate our national pride.

Starting from 4 July 2018, KFC will be launching their new KFC Goldspice Chicken.
Gold-Standard Salted Egg Fried Chicken
For those of you who haven’t gotten it by now, the KFC Goldspice Chicken is salted egg-flavoured spicy fried chicken.

Fresh chicken meat is marinated in the signature KFC Hot and Crispy marinade before being breaded and fried, and coated with salted egg seasoning, chilli, curry leaves and basil powder.

What you taste in the first bite, is a strong hit of salted egg seasoning. However, as you progress, the spice slowly kicks in. So it’s a slow burn.
But if you’re a fan of salted egg-flavoured anything, then you’ll love this, because it tastes authentic.
A 2-piece Goldspice Meal costs $8.55 while the 5-piece Goldspice Meal is $19.55.
You can also get the Goldspice Box at $10.55, which comes with 2 pieces of Goldspice chicken and Hot & Crispy Tenders, 1 regular whipped potato and fries, and Sjora.
But if you’re feeding a family, then go for the Goldspice Feast ($38.95), which comes with 9 pieces of Goldspice chicken, 12 nuggets, 2 medium whipped potato and coleslaw, and 4 Sjoras.
Egg Tarts Meet Nutella
The Goldspice Chicken isn’t the only thing they’re launching. KFC is also launching a Chocolate Hazelnut Egg Tart.

They probably can’t officially claim that it’s Nutella but I know Nutella when I taste it.
While it seemed like a weird combination, I’m no stranger to egg tarts in various flavours, so this didn’t really come as a surprise.

The flavour combinations actually work quite well. The egg custard in the tart is already sweet, but the addition of the Chocolate Hazelnut filling didn’t make it saccharine. My only gripe with it is that it flakes too easily.
It’s brittle and fragile, which makes it a struggle to eat.
Dessert Fries
The last item they’re launching came as a surprise. It’s so simple, yet so good? I’m genuinely surprised at how good it is.
It’s Chocolate Hazelnut Fries!

Now before you revolt in horror, I do know that there are people who eat their fries with ice cream. So chocolate fries should not come as a surprise. It’s the lesser of two evils.
The Chocolate Hazelnut Fries will be sold at $4.20 ala carte or $2.90 for add-on.
However, the Chocolate Fries will only be available in 10 KFC outlets islandwide – Jurong Point, Lot 1 Shoppers Mall, Causeway Point, Sun Plaza 2, Compass One, Waterway Point, Tampines CPF Building, Kallang Stadium, and Tampines Hub.
Dine And Win An Audi!?
Together with the launch of the new menu items, KFC has also partnered with Sjora and Mediacorp to present the Everyday Wins Contest!
Every purchase of a Goldspice Meal will entitle you to a chance to win the grand prize of an Audi Q2, daily cash prize of $488, as well as KFC Instant Rewards like free Sjora, Milo, Whipped Potato and 1 piece Goldspice Chicken!
These new items will be available until 9 August 2018.
It’s time to return to KFC for some salted egg action this July and August! And also to potentially win an Audi Q2.
