TOASTED TWISTER .vs. SPICY CHICKEN WRAP

Hey guys! McD. recently promote a value single item, you can save up some money instead of buying a whole set of one of the value meal. And you will notice there is a item on the top of the board which stated as "NEW", which is the "Spicy Chicken Wrap". I tried this thingy before, but not really impress for it. But one thing for sure, it's really "SPICY". Soon, KFC come out with a item called "Toasted Twister", for me I think it's just a refined version of "Twister". (people from 80's like me will know...sigh...I'm getting older)

So, i decided to do a compare chart of both. This idea came across my mind because of it's similar idea: a roti with a daging ayam inside...LOL

Here you go:

THE PACKAGING
















Design : $ $ $ $ Design : $ $
Practical : $ $ $ Practical : $ $

The one on the left is from "The Fingers Licking Good" and the one on the right is from "I'm Loving It". The rates are all rated out of 5 $. As you can notice, that "Toasted Twister" is far more decorative then the "Spicy Chicken Wrap". The colours are so "seducing" compare with the other, and it's well sealed with a sticker that labeled "Cheesy BBQ Toasted *Tortilla". This design helps to keep the food in shape if you would like to make a take away order and bring it home. Unfortunately, they make a big mistake that they didn't realize it's very hard for customers to eat the food because it just hold by a paper but not a pocket or what. It's a different thing compare with the burger, it's long but not round. Go buy either one of them and you will know what i mean.

*a tortilla is a type of thin, unleavened flat bread, made from finely ground maize (corn) or wheat flour.

THE TASTE














Sauce : $ $ $ $ Sauce : $
Vege : $ $ $ Vege : $
Chicken : $ $ $ $ Chicken : $ $ $
Tortilla : $ $ $ $ Tortilla : $ $

The food made from 4 main ingrediants : sauce, vege, chicken and the tortilla.
It's very obvious that, personally i prefer the "Fingers Licking Good". The sauce are the combination of thousand-island and mayo, vege are juicy and you can taste the tomato also. In the other side, the sauce are just plain mayo and the vege like telling me "I'm dying". The chicken is the main factor to determine the good or bad, KFC used "100% whole chicken" but in the other hand McD used chicken's nugget. Visually, whole chicken looks nicer, but it's very subjective. You may love the spicy-ness of the chicken's nugget too. Finally, come to the tortilla which sealed everything inside. The tortilla from KFC are superb, you can smell it, it contain very rich butter and smells similar to Roti Canai. Maybe McD go for a different concept? Their tortilla are generally plain and dry.
The conclusion is:

* "Toasted Twister" is one of the main course in the list but for "Spicy Chicken Wrap" i rather call it a snack.

* I paid RM6+ to get a Twister and RM4+ for the Chicken Wrap. It can be tells by looking the price which one taste better.


BUT FOR MALAYSIAN LIKE ME
