THE fastfood known for its “Finger lickin’ good” slogan will once again be seen at Limketkai Center as Kentucky Fried Chicken, more popularly known as KFC, has re-opened starting Sunday, April 18.
Ms. Airah Bonnet B. Seno, restaurant general manager, said the Limketkai branch was closed last month for renovation in their effort to provide their clients with a more comfortable dining experience.
The newly refurbished KFC branch still offers the same great-tasting chicken cooked using breading flour made with 11 secret herbs and spices in original and hot and crispy flavors.
Seno said starting April 10, KFC now offers two more flavors of its mouth watering Krushers – Mango Yogurt and Rocky Road. This is in addition to the present Strawberry Banana, Strawberry, Mocha Krunch, Caramel Krunch, Cookies and Cream, and Mixed Berries flavors.
But Seno said the Mixed Berries flavors – a combination of strawberry and blueberry – would soon be phased out due to “supply problems.”
Aside from the Krushers and the chicken that KFC has been known for, also available are the new creamy tomato and chewy cheese, crispy fries, twister, pasta bowl, tortilla bread, and other delectable food that would surely answer every person’s gastronomic cravings.
KFC Limketkai branch opened in 2000 as its first location at the site where the National Bookstore now stands but later transferred to a more convenient area, still within the Center.
An international company, KFC Philippines is owned by the Agustines family with over 200 company-owned branches nationwide.
In Cagayan de Oro, KFC has two branches – in Limketkai and SM City. But Seno said the company plans to open another branch in Divisoria in the third quarter of this year.
“We will also open two more branches in Butuan City and Iligan City within this year,” she said.
Aside from the Cagayan de Oro outlets, there are three KFC branches in Davao, two in Zamboanga and one in General Santos City.
Being a company serving 100 percent chicken, Seno said KFC blends well with the culture of the Muslims and Maranaos.
“We don’t serve pork. Only chicken and beef,” she said.
With the presence of a lot of fastfood chains in the country, she said KFC is still a come-on among diners owing to the company’s consistent quality service and friendly crew.
This, she said, has what made KFC shines among the rest.
