KFC Froyo (Frozen Yogurt)

Even KFC has hopped onto the froyo bandwagon and serving up a version of their own for the budget conscious. At $2 for a cup, you get to choose between natural or passionfruit flavor and a topping (mango sauce, strawberry sauce or Froot Loops). An additional topping costs 50 cents. You can also opt for the cone version ($1). The cone looks like the one from macs.

Taste-wise, KFC's froyo tastes like a watered down version of Yami Yogurt's. It certainly can't compete with the high raved Llao llao, Milk & Honey etc. However, at almost a fraction of the price, we weren't really complaining. This makes a good alternative to MacDonald's ice cream on a hot sunny day -- almost every day.  

[NEW] Truffle Shaker Fries (McDonald's)

When we heard McDonald's was selling truffle fries, we were intrigued. At only $3.20 (a la carte), it seemed a good deal if only it was a fraction of what real truffle fries tastes like. Instead of truffle oil, Mac's version is essentially shaker fries with truffle seasoning. 

After doing the necessary, we were hit with an incredible whiff of truffle scent/stink upon opening the bag. Promising enough. Until we bit on it... urgh. Initially, it tasted like seaweed shaker fries which wasn't entirely bad. But then came the aftertaste, which was almost like rancid butter and extremely unpleasant. From then on, it just tasted pretty gross and even the truffle smell seemed to have mingled with that of the reused oil. Please bring back seaweed shaker fries.

Tl;dr: In short, don't eat this.
