Old Chang Kee Having Jumbo Chicken Leg (Like KFC) & Black Curry Puff Now

When KFC started selling grilled chicken, we all thought that the chicken had time-travelled from April to August.

But no, it wasnโ€™t an April Foolโ€™s joke, but KFCโ€™s answer to the Governmentโ€™s mobilization for their war against diabetes: it was a permanent item for gym rats to have after their intensive workout.

Should you have merely the grilled chicken, it could well be healthier than your regular fish soup with rice, for it doesnโ€™t have any empty calories and is packed with muscle-building protein.

The reason why people thought that pigs could finally fly after KFCโ€™s announcement is simple: KFC is known for its fried stuff. I mean, itโ€™s even in its name: Kancheong Fried Chicken. Having a grilled chicken in its permanent menu is like Old Chang Kee selling baked chicken.

How can Old Chang Kee, our favourite to-go for fried stuff, sell bakedโ€”

โ€”oh, wait. Thatโ€™s from Old Chang Kee.

Wait, what?

Is it April now? Can pigs finally fly?

Old Chang Kee Now Selling Jumbo Chicken Leg

Youโ€™ve read it right: our favourite Old Chang Kee, whom we didnโ€™t even know have an oven in their kitchen, is selling a non-fried chicken leg that looks almost like KFCโ€™s grilled chicken.

According to Old Chang Kee, itโ€™s โ€œjuicy, tender, over-baked with spices marinated,โ€ and that itโ€™s โ€œbursting with juicy flavors in every bite.โ€

Being the impartial Goody Feed weโ€™ve always been, we canโ€™t vouch for that unless weโ€™ve tried it, but given Old Chang Keeโ€™s reputation of having goody food that seldom disappoint, weโ€™re inclined to believe its self-review.

At mere $3.90, itโ€™s way cheaper than KFCโ€™s grilled chicken that is priced at $5.90, though weโ€™re not sure if itโ€™s way bigger than KFCโ€™s chicken.

If youโ€™re sad that our dearest Old Chang Kee has also been enlisted into the Governmentโ€™s call for heathier food, and youโ€™ve once made a vow never to eat healthy food, no worries: Old Chang Kee has another new item thatโ€™s pretty lit, too.

Cheesy-licious Chickenโ€™O

Now, forget about the corny name because weโ€™re about to give it a new name: Black Curry Puff.

The Black Curry Puff is filled with tender chicken, potato chunks and a double cheese mix of cheddar and mozzarella cheese.

But what makes it stand out from the crowd? Its colour, because you can taste like rotten chicken coated with Dynamo detergent, but as long as you look good, kids with camera would still buy it.

Here, take a look:

According to Young Chang Kee, itโ€™s โ€œcoated with charcoal powder for the extra oozing for cheese lovers.โ€

But seriously, itโ€™s a chaota-looking curry puff. Who cares about ooze, cheese or chicken? Buy it for the gram, man!

These new items are already available in all Old Chang Kee outlets for a limited period.

Well, they didnโ€™t indicate an end date, so for all you know, if they sell well, they might just become a permanent item. #justsaying
