New Parmesan Truffle Chicken @ KFC SG

Adding Truffle flavour into food, is a trend that is catching on in Singapore’s Food & Beverage scene at the moment, from Truffle Fries to Truffle-Infused Eggs, salt and bread spreads.

Indeed, it is undeniable that this taste is one that is well-loved by all Singaporeans, both young and old.

And now, to usher in this Lunar New Year, KFC Singapore is shaking up everything that you know about the festival… with the introduction of their latest offering… the KFC Parmesan Truffle Chicken.

Yes, Lunar New Year and the Truffle flavour are not really associated with one another, but this year, KFC Singapore wants to celebrate Lunar New Year in an “untraditional” way and put a new spin on the traditions that you know all about.

The leading quick-service restaurant chain in the chicken category in Singapore, KFC is renowned for serving its customers with delicious, complete family meals at affordable prices. The first KFC restaurant in Singapore was opened in 1977 and today, there are 84 outlets spread across the island.

A Combination Of Two All-Time Crowd Favourites

According to KFC Singapore, their new Lunar New Year offering consists of juicy, fresh chicken fried to golden perfection and then drizzled with a delicious truffle-infused cheese sauce, and finally, topped with shredded Parmesan.

It is described as being a combination of truffle, merged with the all-time crowd favourite — Parmesan Cheese.

Invited To KFC Singapore For A Food Tasting

I had been recently invited to KFC Singapore for a media food tasting session of their new KFC Parmesan Truffle Chicken offering.

At the tasting session, we had been served with the Parmesan Truffle Box Meal (S$10.95) set, which had consisted of two pieces of Parmesan Truffle Chicken, two pieces of Hot & Crispy Tenders, 1 Regular Whipped Potato, 1 Regular Fries and 1 Regular SJORA® Strawberry Kiwi drink.

Trying The KFC Parmesan Truffle Chicken

As soon as the KFC Parmesan Truffle Chicken had arrived at my table, my nose could immediately pick up a mouth-watering Truffle flavour before I had tasted the chicken.

And as well, I could see some sprinkling of Parmesan cheese on the surface of the chicken batter.

I am a huge fan of both cheese as well as Truffle flavour, so this was a combination that agreed well with me. So as a result, I simply could not wait to try KFC Singapore’s new offering.

And upon taking a bite of the chicken, a cheesy note hit me at first, and shortly after that, the cheese taste gave way to a strong Truffle flavour which continued to linger on in my mouth, gradually growing stronger, as I continued to take more bites out of the chicken.

I would say that because I like all things Truffle, I had enjoyed the chicken thoroughly and I had thought that it was quite delicious.

However, I have to add that those who may not enjoy Truffle, may find this flavour to be a little bit on the strong side, in the chicken.

I had been given a chicken breast and a drumstick and I found that both pieces of chicken meat were also warm and juicy when I bit into them. So I was glad that the consistency and moistness that I have come to expect of KFC chicken, had been replicated here.

The flavour burst from the Hot & Crispy Tenders were also a great addition to the Truffle flavours in the KFC Parmesan Truffle Chicken – I had thought that the spicy note from the Tenders combined well with the Truffle notes, creating a medley burst of flavours in the mouth, when eaten together.

SJORA® Strawberry Kiwi Was Refreshing

The SJORA® Strawberry Kiwi, which was served with the meal, is also a new offering by KFC Singapore.

Usually KFC Singapore’s SJORA® drink offering is the Mango Peach flavour but because of Lunar New Year, the Strawberry Kiwi had been chosen instead because of its pinkish-red colour – as this represents prosperity.

I had thought that the drink was quite refreshing to wash down all the chicken with, and there had been a slight hint of Strawberry flavour present, but it may have been a bit watered-down.

Besides the Parmesan Truffle Box Meal that we had tried, those who have smaller appetites can opt for the Parmesan Truffle 2pc Meal (S$8.95) which comes with two pieces of Parmesan Truffle Chicken, 1 Regular Whipped Potato, 1 Regular ColeSlaw and 1 Regular SJORA® Strawberry Kiwi drink.
