Finger Lickin' Good... and Finally Open

My first bite, a Zinger burger as usual

Branding's gotta be big and bold these days, I guess

Tasteful ideas, pun intended

KFC folks better pay me for this little blog piece. Or, sponsor a banner ad. Hah! Anyway, Mike C finally alerted me to the opening of Taman Desa's first KFC outlet a week ago (in this very blog, mind you) and I thought I'd put closure on the story by featuring a few pics and giving my two sen worth.

Overall, the place is clean and bright. Since it was raining, the floor was a little wet and there were mud marks around the small mat just inside the main door. Well, at least there was a nice touch with the umbrella receptacle. The staff were friendly. We ordered, went upstairs and marveled at how many people, especially families, were occupying the place. Not packed, but plentiful.

I remarked how fast-food places have a tendency to be family-friendly and this is a big boost to the area. There's truly something for everyone but I can't wait for the remaining cheesy and garishly-lit pubs to scram.

We tucked into our foods and left as the happy campers we were. Oh, and the staff were busy mopping up the mud prints as we walked out, making sure the place was spotless.

Here's an idea to reduce road traffic and parking congestion: home delivery to Taman Desa only. I'm sure that'll be a hit.
