Is KFC the rankest fast food?

[CheshireTom 1,377]

Atlantic salmon is a different species altogether from Pacific salmon and the Atlantic variant is what's used in the farms even in the Pacific. It's tasteless and doesn't hold together very well. They even have to add food colouring to it so people can recognize it.

 

And? I didn't for one minute think that it was Pacific salmon they were catching in The Outer Hebrides.

 

Which restaurants do you recommend in Pattaya for salmon? I think the Sizzler promo has just finished ...

I guess some prefer hamburger over steak and don't know (or care) about the difference.

Amateurs.

 

 

 

You've still to tell us where the best place in Pattaya is that serves Wild Pacific Salmon.

[steamer 158]

Sizzer is still is the Mc'Donald's of sit down restaurant's whether they be in Thailand or anywhere else. Ohhh, let's go to IHOP for some decent grub. the 8 year olds will think they've gone to heaven.

 

Suggesting that Sizzler is half decent is a travesty.

KFC now has boneless available (or 'on offer' for you Brits).

If it is on offer, what is the special price?

You've already mentioned that (although I don't think that IHOP is in Thailand yet). The best place in Pattaya (or LOS) for (Pacific) salmon is what I'm after. In the meantime, I'm off to Sizzler to renew my annual membership.

 

Suggesting that Sizzler is half decent is a travesty.

 

The description I used was, "I reckon it's consistently good value for money - certainly the branches in Thailand operated by Minor Food." What alternatives do you reckon are worth a visit?

I have asked the following question before,

 

Where is the best sausages to buy and take home from Pattaya ?.............I received a answer last time being the Pig and Whistle but they where not that good

You would have better luck at getting an answer if you opened a topic with that question, rather than asking it in the middle of a topic about KFC (or salmon).

You do know that British Columbia is the home for farmed salmon in the Pacific NW?

It's been a couple of years since I ate at the Pizza Hut at the BigC on 2nd Road. I found the sausage to be excellent. I liked the way it was spiced.

Pizza Hut sells sausages to take home and cook?

Back in the mid '70s I was passing the firs McDonald's to open in my home country, so I decided to give it a try. What a disappointment...... I've never been back to McDonald's anywhere.

 

Then KFC opened up, and I tried that too...... sort of edible, comparatively expensive. I have been back the odd time when other options have not been available. It is several years since the last time, under duress from a TGF. She paid.

 

That's about it for corporate fast food places for me. Thailand's street stalls offer better variety, value and taste.

McDonalds is the bottom, no question about it.

Yep I'll go along with that their burgers taste like cardboard

 

KFC do a nice khow yam ki sep

[boss hogg 56]

KFC fine by me!

[Nightrider 340]

KFC was the first , but now in london there are dozens and dozens of different named fried chicken joints and they all taste the same.....Shite....!

Took me a bit, but I finally realized you're talking about the Kao Yum Gai Saap (Spicy Roasted Chicken on rice)

 

Chicken is pronounced a little like Guy, and Saap (spicy) is pronounced much like Lap, like a lap in the pool.

When it comes to good Yum I prefer this restaurant:

 

 

Not too sure if there's any branches in Pattaya though.

Yeah, that looks delicious.

 

Any more pictures?

Hi. Maybe "You" know it with this phonetic writing, but not sure if it's better than Wobbly's one..?

Looking on the Internet you can find many attempts to write that in English, but not really one is good...

 

Khow Yam Ki Sep (Wobbly)

Kao Yum Gai Saap (Yokul)

Khao Yam Kai Seep (google)

Khaao Yam Gai Seet (thai-language)

 

The only way to have it right is with ข้าวยำไก่ซี้ด

 

I don't like KFC (and McDo either) but if I HAD to go there again, I could take this dish. Looks good

The boneless bucket of 10 pieces is $16.

 

BTW, 10 pieces only goes up about 2/3 of the volume of the bucket, since the bucket was made for holding chicken with bones that take up more space.

 

You can also get the buffet if you dine indoors, but they don't put the boneless out on the buffet. They don't even put their new grilled chicken on the buffet unless you ask them for it. Honestly their grilled chicken stinks though. It's entirely too dry and void of spices.

 

 

Yeah, that looks delicious.

 

Any more pictures?

 

Well, since it's you, YES

Yes, for those of us who can read Thai, that would be the correct way.

I was actually going for ข้าวยำไก่แสบ

 

To me YAM is a sweet potato, not a spicy salad.

The McDonalds in Jakarta is disgusting. No bacon. Not been game to try it in any other SE Asian country. KFC was ok in KL. The best food in Thailand is fish and finger pie available from the nearest bar or massage place. I keep coming back for it and it is not fattening.

[teelack 9,635]

Back to the original question. Like most people I like a dose of junk food now and then. I usually do not eat KFC but on an annual basis I get a voucher from them for a free feed as I am a shareholder. Last week I used mine and it was truly horrible. It was full of fat and left a puddle of the shit after I had tried to eat it. I checked with someone else who has cooking training and we believe that perhaps the issue is that it is just not cooked properly and that perhaps the oil is not hot enough hence not being sealed. Unless its free I wont be trying it any time soon.

[LocalYokul 214]

Repeat for clarification, the KFC in the LOS is the bee's knees.

 

[papillon 695]

Does it come with half a Coconut and a Garlic bulb?

 

Looks yucky.

 

In the Philippines they give you a tub of gravy to pour over the chicken and rice. Yuck.
