Last week, my brother and I had food delivered from KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), my favorite chicken food joint. We were both craving for their chicken and BBQ rods, so we decided to have them for lunch. We also haven’t tried their new California Maki Twister yet so we added it to our order, plus two KFC Go-go sandwiches for my parents.

By the way, I wish KFC will bring back their Go-go Dragon sandwich. I super love it and I’ve been craving for it.

Php 27.50 per stick

 

The KFC BBQ Rods is currently Kien’s, my brother, addiction. I understand why because it’s good and the sauce really makes it more enjoyable. Not pairing KFC BBQ Rods with rice is like a waste of the sweet taste of the sauce. *LOL*

I ordered 6 sticks of KFC BBQ Rods – five for my bro and one for me. And, I also ordered their two-piece chicken meal. As always, one chicken is Hot and Crispy, the other one’s in Original flavor. What was delivered to us was still warm, so I really enjoyed it even when a couple of customers at our internet cafe were having their photos printed while I was eating away. *grin*

A few minutes after we were done with lunch, my brother and I decided to have a taste of KFC’s California Maki Twister. We only ordered one since we can share it anyway. I haven’t had sushi ever (but I will, soon!!), so I didn’t really know what to expect. Good thing Kien is a sushi guy, so I told him to let me know if it really tasted close to actual California Maki sushi.

Php 86.90 – a li’l expensive for me, but I loved it.

 

When I took my first bite, the mango filling gushed out of my half of the Twister. It was so good, I can eat another one without feeling guilty. Might need women’s weight loss pills afterwards, though. Hahaha. But, seriously, I loved it!

The KFC California Maki Twister is made up of cucumber, mango and a hint of wasabi wrapped in a toasted tortilla. Kien said it tasted close to the sushi version. That made me want to try sushi on our next food trip. Woohoo!

Again, KFC didn’t fail my tastebuds. I was quite full after everything we ate. It was like our last supper / meal before we start on our “gradual” diet. But, for now, I am really craving for another KFC California Maki Twister!

 

Have you tried KFC’s California Maki Twister already?

What do you think? Let me know if you enjoyed it, too.

Enjoy!

  1. I love KFC, and yes I find their prices a bit steep but it’s good that they don’t skimp on serving size. The Twister is enough to fill the tummy, but I haven’t tried the new version yet.

    1. Yep, I agree. That’s why I prefer KFC over any other chicken joints. 🙂
      I’ve tried the original Twister and the Cali Maki Twister. It’s a must-try! 🙂

  5. I always go for their Hot and Crispy chicken. KFC is my favorite chicken fast food, but sadly I have been missing a lot of their foods, since the family is now trying out different food places in SM Fairview. A lot of people say the CaliMaki was really good, and I really wanted to try it out. Now that you’ve mentioned the Rods, I am curious, too. 🙂

  6. I love their Cali Maki more than the original twister. I would love it even more if there were even just a little amount of fish roe 😀
