I’m going for my very first food tasting today. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not getting married…YET…hahaha…If I am, I’ll definitely announce it.
It’s a food tasting for Kentucky Fried Chicken’s (KFC) new product which they just launched. In fact, I’m one of the lucky 15 bloggers chosen for the food tasting. But really, till now, I still don’t know what I will be expected to eat. It’s probably going to be a surprise as we were told it is not something that we will expect KFC to serve. Plus it’s something sweet. Hmm….
3PM. Suntec City KFC. Food Tasting Venue. Wow…I feel like a VIP today as there was an area cordoned off for us. Seeing paper trays on the table, I knew only then what I would be eating later.

Yes, you guessed it right. Egg tart. Egg tart from KFC you may be asking? Yes, yes, yes!!
Lo and behold…the KFC Egg Tart has finally come to Singapore! Although we are not the first country in the world to get to enjoy the KFC Egg Tart, but better late than never, right?

I’m one of the lucky few to try the new KFC Egg Tart
Hailing from Macau, it supposedly follows an authentic recipe developed by the famous Margaret Wong who improved on the current Portuguese egg tart’s flavour. Through word of mouth, her improved version Portuguese egg tart took Macau by storm and subsequently some local KFC staff too! That was how they contacted Margaret, and bought her recipe. And thus was born the KFC Egg Tart!
After understanding a little of the history of the origins of the KFC Egg Tart, we were told to start thinking of a word in English or a phrase in Mandarin to describe how we feel after sinking our teeth into the egg tart. More importantly, we would be getting our 30 seconds of instant fame as filming would be done while we utter the word/phrase.
‘Mouth-watering’ was what I said to the camera when it was my turn. Trust me, the KFC Egg Tart truly is mouth-watering. As we were served freshly baked egg tarts fresh from the oven, I could instantly taste the warmth each bite gave me. The freshness apart, what I particularly liked about the egg tart was its smooth egg custard which simply melted into my mouth effortlessly. It was akin to having found my desired happiness. I wish my family and friends were here to share this special feeling with me. For the record, I ate two egg tarts.

Another finger-licking-good treat from KFC? You bet. The best news must be it’s a permanent item on the menu…which means you can eat it anytime, anywhere. Just hop down to a KFC outlet near you. It’s retailing at 43 selected outlets well situated around Singapore.
Selling either individually at $1.30 a piece or in a box of 6 for $7.50 as a gift for the coming Chinese New Year. Check out the intricate box which was specially designed for Chinese New Year with its hues of red and yellow – both auspicious colours for the festive season.

Get the egg tarts individually or in a box of 6!
After the shoot was over, the KFC management was so kind to extend their hospitality to us by allowing us to order any item off the menu. No prizes for guessing what I ordered…yes, it’s a box of KFC Egg Tarts as I’m going to share the new snack with my family
