incessant rambling

unfortunately, this is not an article regarding ricky martin. nor is it an attempt to revive his dead career. i'm talking about the new KFC shaker shots. it's actually just chicken popcorn that's placed in this nifty new container where a handprint is marked on the side. you grip it and give it a few shake then you have your flavored chicken popcorn. it comes in three flavors, barbecue, cheese and garlic parmesan. my fave? i'd say the barbecue flavor. now, if they come up with a gimik and have the restaurant staff do a jig when they shake the pops that would be an interesting sight. then again, haters would be quick to label it as sexist and demeaning, just like what happened to cebu pacific. then again, it's still a nice idea.

surprise when you least expect one is a treat. in this case, a gastronomic treat. i dropped by KFC to get some tummy fillers and was thinking of the oily, greasy but utterly delicious fried chicken but my eye got caught by the flashy display bannering the newest menu entry: Supreme Bowl that comes in two flavors, italian and imperial chinese. i've tried both but i highly recommend the chinese imperial. spicy, sweet and extra garlicky sauce topped a slice of crunchy chicken fillet and rice. the kicker? they added three slices of fried eggplant seasoned just right to compliment the crunchy bite of the chicken fillet. i ordered a regular portion of the new flavor shots in sweet chili or barbecue sauce. a perfect accompaniment to my supreme bowl order if you want more meaty goodness. as the tag line goes, finger licking good!
