JL to serve KFC onboard

[jhm]

Brilliant idea if (i) cooked right; and (ii) 5 times the anaemic portion shown in the photo!

Best KFC in Asia is in Malaysia.

Agreed. Bangkok and Tokyo one is not bad too.

Okay, who was the marketing genius who came up with this! I thought the JL brand was being positioned as classy and prestigious.

This is only Y class, isn't it? Isn't this a step up from a standard Y class meal for most Y class travellers? (I wouldn't know, as it's been so long since I've been in long haul Y!!!)

friend chicken that's not fresh tends to be just greasy and unpleasant

Yes, but KFC in Asia isn't as greasy as the stuff you get in Europe and the US. Not sure how to explain it, but KFC leftovers in KL still taste good the following morning, while KFC in the UK tastes pretty rank by the time you get it home...

SQ serves hashbrowns for breakfast occassionally (sometimes on top/on the side of eggs), which looks weird but actually has tasted not too bad...

For me there's nothing wrong with introducing KFC on board. Only problem I feel is that so far no airlines had been able to serve hash browns (for breakfast) and french fries/nuggets (for kids meal).

I think it will be rather disgusting to eat warm soggy drumsticks?

Not against the idea, in fact I'll personally be interested to have it on a flight, especially the Zinger burger. But just.. how are they going to prepare it?

[stargold]

How well will it work, though? It's not exactly as though they're going to fry the chicken onboard... and friend chicken that's not fresh tends to be just greasy and unpleasant. Maybe they have a secret to bring it back to edibility?

Not so much of a bad idea really. KFC in Asia is, IMO, way better than in the USA. Plus, it is very popular in Japan during Christmas.

Also, given the fact that KFC has been the most popular western food in China, I wonder if CA, CZ, or MU will do this as well.

Put Cheesecake Factory on board!

Best KFC in Asia is the one which blast-off orders via delivery service at 2.30 am because Indonesian Idol takes 2 hours to announce who won and we got hungry.

Oh, I think BKK's can give M'sia a run for its money...

Yes, very good ideal. I look for KFC when I am on assignement in USA too. They are quite different from those you can find in Singapore.

Mos Burger and Yoshinoya are already on JL!
I think it is a good idea.

How about some Japanese fast food? MOS Burger or Yoshinoya?

But then again the Japanese have a different take on everything. I don't know.. maybe the KFC brand is seen as something consistent, popular and hip there
