Cheesy Loaded Bowl $7.95 (Secret Menu Item, App Required) @ KFC

370

Was browsing the app for lunch and saw this in the secret menu. Potentially good value, depending on how much popcorn they give.

Has cheese sauce which I think is something new? Maybe someone here can ellaborate.

Includes:

  • Popcorn Chicken
  • Regular Chips
  • Regular Gravy
  • Cheese Sauce

    $8 seem to be expensive, the size is a bit bigger then the snack box with extra Gravy and Cheese Sauce for $3 more

    • She gets it for free.

    • +2

      Was not the snack box a large chips? This is smaller then, just with gravy and sauce. Even worse.

      • Snack box was small chips someone working mentioned

        • Oof, I was scan reading and didn't put 2 and 2 together, thought they meant the KSP. Ignore me.

    I had this on Friday, it was served in the box that the salads come in and with a gravy container on the side. I got this and the 6 piece hot and crospy pieces. It was nice, I enjoyed the cheese sauce personally. Nothing outstanding but for fast food was good.

    I tried it last week as well, served the same as dingleberries.
    I liked it - quite a lot actually.
    Felt fat af afterwards.

    I haven't been able to get the Secret Menu open since the last app update. Anyone else have trouble or suggestions to get it opened.

    • +3

      Android or Apple?

      I'm on android and honestly it always randomly pops up when I'm just browsing the menu lol

    • +1

      I was prompted to open the Secret Menu recently after leaving the Android app open at the Menu screen for a little while.

      • I'm on android. I'll try leaving the app open for a while.

          Have you tried swiping your finger down to 'refresh' the menu? Afterwards, you wait 11 seconds and it will say "Shh. What secret menu? Unlock"

    • I was having the same issue (iOS) but after seeing this comment, I went to the App Store and looked up the KFC app, I had the option to update and after applying the direct update, the secret menu seems to be working again.

    • I have found lately I have to hold it down for excessively long, last time I thought mine was broken too, I swear I held it for a minute and a half before it showed up.

    Is this a 'bargain' or just 'something that's on the KFC secret menu'?

    • +4

      The latter. No bargain to be seen here.

    • Wish it tasted more like fish

      I saw Greg's one last night. Hopefully they didn't fill it up properly as it looked tiny.

    • +1

      Grego's grown his hair out!

    • +2

      Greg's reviews are the best. Love that they gave him the dunny code as soon as he walked in the door

    • +1

      Upvote for Greg.

    That looks smaller than a Maccas tiny chips for $8?

    • Yup. Fail to see how this is a bargain.

      • So we write this deal off based on a single image you found on the internet "looks like its small…not a deal".

        Sounds stupid to me.

        • OP literally outlines the inclusions in the deal text. This is not a bargain.

          • +1

            @Mike Nolan: Yeah and instead of pricing everything up you looked at the picture and made a decision, I reiterate, sounds stupid to me.

            Here mate I did the leg work for you so you don't have to go off pictures.

            Snack popcorn chicken - $3.95 - benefit of the doubt here, could be a regular size to go in line with the regular chips(would make it $7.95)
            Regular gravy - $5.45
            Regular chips - $4.45

            Total equals to either $13.95 or $17.85 depending on popcorn chicken size. (also note sauce not included due to no price on the menu)

            So its objectively a bargain based on the individual prices.

            • @doobey1231: It’s a $2.95 Snack Size popcorn chicken based on the KJ count.
              That’s equivalent to a Popcorn Chicken Go Bucket ($5.75) with the chips.

              So you’re still paying $2.20 for a little tub of gravy-flavoured substance.
              Again, no bargain here.

              • @Mike Nolan: You can literally pick whatever popcorn chicken size you want mate, its still cheaper than all ingredients separately making it a bargain. Strike a light.

                • @doobey1231: Bruh, it’s literally a poky little $5.75 Go Bucket with gravy and a bit of revolting “cheese” sauce.
                  Being cheaper than purchasing all the items individually doesn’t make it a bargain lmao

                  • @Mike Nolan: Its objectively a bargain whether you like it or not. Go sook on the netflix movie announcements, they are much less a bargain than this is.

    • It's supposed to be equivelent to a regular chips

  • +1

    KFC cheese sauce, no thanks.

  • +1

    had this for lunch. very meh. quite small and not great. personally i'd leave it

  • Is it just me or has the gravy changed.. For the worse?

  • +2

    What's the point of a 'secret menu'? Why can't they just add these items to the regular app menu? It makes no sense.

    • +2

      Its a roundabout way of saying app exclusive, just another way to get you to download it.

    • +1

      Keeps people using the app to check back on what items are in the menu frequently. It also pushes users to get it now because item on the secret menu are temporary and likely to switch out. It can also get people to talk about the secret menu because it isn't immediately available to those not on the app/visiting a storefront.

  • I'm in india ATM. Tried their local menu item and was really impressed.

    Wish they have these in Australia. Less oil and no all purpose flour

    • Looks interesting, prob use the combi oven for these i think.

  • +4

    The picture shows overflowing but the amount was less than half filled, could very easily see the bottom. Would not recommend.

    • People are paid huge $$ to make things look good for adverts.. shame they arent honest.

      Have you ever seen your pissy portion of "fries" look like the neatly stacked photo on the wall… or a burger look as nice in real life as it does in the photos?? Me either !

  • +1

    And it's gone.

  • Heads up, KFC have changed the popcorn chicken recently, and i think it tastes like trash compared to the old one.

  • Not sure why this was marked as expired but it's still there (if you can even get the secret menu to show up, latest version on Android is bugged), had it today. Ends 30 September apparently.
