I wasted money on KFC's Breakfast Meals

I couldn't resist it! When I heard KFC was serving breakfast I just had to try it out. Nevermind that I have been cheated by countless KFC promotions. I'm a sucker for all of them :)

Anyways, KFC is playing catchup with McDonalds again. This time they try to outdo McDonald's great breakfast meals. The good news is KFC's breakfast menu is quite extensive (check it out here). They really one upped McDs on this point. I mean KFC's breakfast menu includes noodles and nasi lemak!

The bad news is that KFC's new menu consist mostly of re-used items. For example, the chicken patty appears in half of the breakfast menu items (as does the scrambled egg). Also they're not particularly good. I don't know about you but I have a love affair with McDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Egg. I don't think there's anything in KFC's breakfast menu that comes even close.

KFC Sausage Combo (RM7.70)

I tried the sausage combo because they looked nice. But alas it was wishful thinking.

Cheezy Chicken Muffin (RM5.30)

I picked this muffin because it reminded me of the Sausage McMuffin. The chicken patty has the familiar KFC Original Recipe taste and I liked it. But like I said it's no Sausage McMuffin.

KFC needs to buck up. It's obvious that all new items they introduce are done in the cheapest ways possible. The breakfast menu is not going to win them any new customers.
