Burger King & KFC Responded Differently After McDonald’s Closed All Outlets

Today’s event will be written in history books.

Reader Bao: (sipping bubble tea) Are bak kwa stalls finally closed?

No. All McDonald’s outlets, for the first time in Singapore history, have closed its shutters.

Which could only mean one thing:

Because you can take the fast food away from a Singaporean, but you can never take a Singaporean away from the fast food.

Reader Bao: That’s deep.

Burger King & KFC Responded Differently After McDonald’s Closed All Outlets

With a sudden closure of McDonald’s, there’s also a sudden shortage of burgers.

And what happens when there’s a shortage?

People sell them at high prices in Carousell.

And when that doesn’t work, people flock to other fast-food restaurants.

The clown’s best friend, a certain Colonel, took it to Facebook to suddenly announce nothing:

Here’s the post lest you can’t read it (though you’re not missing anything):

Dear Guests,

We appreciate your support for KFC during this time. For your safety and that of our staff, please ensure you are masked up and keep a safe distance when you are in our restaurants.

Kindly note that starting from 20 April, all delivery and takeaway orders via online will be served Contactless to minimize contact.

At KFC, we take the safety of our guests and staff seriously. Our staff is required to take their temperature twice daily, clean and sanitize their hands frequently.

With the recent increase in demand for Takeaway and Delivery, we seek your understanding and patience as our team continues to do our best in serving you the yummy fried chicken we all love.

Thank you very much and let’s stay safe together.

Pretty sure it’s not to tell us that they’ve enough fast food to handle people who like Fillet-O-Fish.

But it’s not the same for the one who wears a Crown.

Lest you can’t read:

Dear Guests,

Our kitchens are experiencing a high volume due to the recent increase in orders. Delivery and waiting times are expected to be longer. We seek your kind understanding and patience as our crew works hard to serve up your favourite BK meals. While waiting, please stay safe by practising social distancing and wear your mask while in BK stores.

Thank you and stay safe!

They didn’t mention why there’s an increase in orders; maybe we all just feel like having Burger King all of a sudden.

And over at Popeyes, they just reminded us that they take safety as a priority…

…and suddenly, the outlet in Northpoint was closed for cleaning because they’re increasing their “store frequency of cleaning.”

Jollibee, Texas Chicken and MOS Burger haven’t posted anything on social media.

In the meantime, if you intend to have instant noodles for the rest of the Circuit Breaker period until McDonald’s reopens, don’t. Watch this video and you’d understand:
