So many excited younger generation sitting down enjoying the show of daring lion dance performance as it moves across the high-rise pole possibility falling down. If one watch closely enough many thought it is a small pole but it actually big enough to support highly-trained performer moving lightning speed  and performing some breath-taking stunts. Many would quickly figured it out but not when it coupled with highly distracting drum beats

Always confuse it was a lion or a dog because it too cute to be lion. In fact, it neither lion or a dog. It was a mythical creature that live in a cave. Some would believe it emits fire However, it weakness is firecrackers that could ward off them from destroying villages and eventually they stayed in cave.

For centuries, believing that lighting up firecrackers could save them from the attack of the mythical creature. But, do you ever think how much profit fire cracker makers made ? They would telling you anything perhaps a very good story.

Although firecrackers were not easily accessible due to legal barrier as these firecrackers were not taxed by authority. There are some foes still able to get it and play it.  

Chinese New Year 2015 Menu at KFC Malaysia

Golden Egg Crunch and Golden Burger delighting you on Chinese New Year 2015



KFC Malaysia Golden burger


It is amusing to know there are some new menu eating at KFC. Could not resist any of them either the golden burger or golden egg crunch. I have ordered both and it is a great and satisfying experience.




Golden Egg Crunch does not taste like normal Kentucky fried chicken. Sjora's juice makes your meal even tastier ever.

A new menu always push away the last great menu brought by KFC. I sincerely hope that one day KFC Malaysia would bring back the old menu. I must say the high-quality fried prawn one should not take it lightly because it taste like so fresh and delicious.

The freshness of the prawn meat is still preserved under high temperature deep-fried I guess they put some secret ingredients deep-fried those golden crunchy prawn. I never like to eat prawn but when I do, I go to KFC.
