I miss KFC!

Almost everyone in Malaysia grow up with KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken) being part of their memory. Remember the times when one of your childhood old birthday parties are held in KFC?; the times when your parents decided to have KFC for dinner and you'll be thrilled not just because of the food but also for the free toy (better if you're dining out because you get to go out); the times when you bring KFC to school as lunch box; and that KFC chicken buckets / barrels is always a wise choice for party catering?

The influence of KFC didn't change when I grow up. Once in a while you'll be reminded of the fragrant of KFC chicken lingering in front of your nose and gotten so tempting that you just must have KFC instantly. There's even KFC fried chicken marinate powder available off normal grocery shop shelf so you can have KFC, home made.

Well, as time goes by, new restaurants with all sorts of different kind of food are blooming, KFC seems to dim down. Nevertheless, one can always find KFC within a few kilometer distance or in every big shopping malls (often, ironically, situated close to a McD as well, hehe). You can even enjoy KFC breakfast starting at 4am :)

I like KFC and will once in a while miss it but not a super gigantic huge fan who'd have KFC on weekly basis. Happen to have a friend who loves KFC. I guess he can try to struggle 2 weeks without it but definitely don't think he'll survive a month without KFC. But what does it have to do with me & my history growing up with KFC?

Well, after I transferred to Conpenhagen, I never had the chance to eat KFC, for slightly more than a year now. This KFC maniac friend of mine posted some shout outs & pictures in facebook about KFC. Suddenly I was 'triggered' into terribly missing KFC mood as well. You might think what's the big deal right? Just go and get one. Unfortunately, KFC is not as big a hit in Europe as it is in Asia. There're only 4 KFCs in the whole Denmark.

After rounds of searching and confirming that the KFC in center of Copenhagen is still operating, I can't wait anymore but to visit. Most of the customers are Asian (:s) and only a handful on Danes in the small little restaurant. I went for the classic normal fried chicken but was rather disappointed. The chicken tasted almost the same but not as good. Why? simply because it's not piping hot and the skin is not crispy crunch like what I use to get at home.

Will I go to KFC again? Definitely...but in Malaysia. I have already warned my friend that he's no longer permitted to post any KFC shout outs :p
