KFC Satay Burger is a newly launched product - the latest burger from the KFC fast food franchise, targeted at local market tastes. I like the satay fan image behind the logo, it represents the fan satay sellers use to manually fan the hot charcoal in the past, but they use auto fans for that nowadays...it's a trip down nostalgia lane.

I couldn't resist reviewing something like this of course, so I went for the KFC Satay burger combo meal. It comes with a free KFC tumbler and I had the red one. The KFC Satay combo meal comprises of:
1 KFC Satay Burger
1 Potato Wedges (4pcs)
1 Carbonated drink (R)
1 Cool Cup
(available in 4 cool colors)
Hey, don't look at me like that. I wasn't the one who wrote it. ;)

This is what the KFC Satay Combo Meal looks like. I should explain what satay sauce is at this point - it's a peanut based sauce, with predominantly sweet flavors and is used to complement satay, which is meat skewed on sticks. The satay burger from KFC only retains the satay sauce and cucumbers as the topping.

The Satay Burger comes in its own wrapping; the easy cone shaped wrapper that has become the de facto standard nowadays - eat without getting your hands dirty! You can think of satay sauce as chunky peanut butter with a less creamy texture and with a saltier aftertaste to it. It tastes better than it sounds.

Now, we come to the meat of the matter (excuse the pun). The Satay burger is basically a Zinger with satay sauce and cucumbers on it. Honestly, I heard the KFC supervisor on duty say that. :) The cucumber slices are nice and crisp and I like how the satay sauce tastes like, although it seems to confuse itself with sambal sometimes.

It looks kinda messy, but it tastes great.
...and you get a free KFC water tumbler to boot. Mine is red. What's yours? ;)
