KFC's Toonie Tuesday

I kept on saying that even fast food here in Edmonton is very pricey. So pricey (in my Standards) that I don't eat them at all, except for occasional burgers at Wendy's.

I am happy though that once a week, I can eat fried chicken (we Pinoys love fried chicken!) guilt-free!

Thank goodness for KFC's Toonie Tuesday!

For only $2.99 (hindi na nga lang exactly toonie talaga) plus 5% tax (or $3.14 to be precise), you can get a 2-piece fried chicken and a regular fries.

Yan na siguro ang cheapest food court meal na maooder mo dito sa Edmonton.

The drawback?

• The meal doesn't come with drinks. If you're buying pop (i.e. soda) from them, then tataas ang total meal cost mo. I suggest bringing your own drinks or buying at Dollarama.
• We Filipinos are gravy-loving people loving as well. Kaso wag ng mag-attempt bumili pa ng gravy kasi around $1.89 siya. Not worth it. Here in Canada, we should just be contented in pairing our fried chicken with ketchup.
• The chicken pieces are small (one thigh and one leg) so if you are really hungry, you won't be satisfied. 

I am amazed though that despite its 'cheapness,' di pa rin masyadong mahaba ang pila sa mga KFC kapag Tuesday. Siguro kasi sawa na ang mga tao? This promotion has been running for so many years now. Or baka naman hindi lang kasi talaga mahilg sa fried chicken ang ibang lahi.

KFC's chicken here tastes so differently from what we have in the Philippines. For one, wala nga silang regular or hot options. Iisa lang talaga ang timpla ng manok -- take it or leave it. If I am to be asked, parang similar sa KFC Malaysia / Singapore ang chicken dito. Oh well, kahit ano pa man, we Filipinos are still grateful for KFC because it's the only fast food chain (similar to what we have at home) that serves fried chicken.
