KFC Shrimp Stix by you.

I’ve been seeing the KFC Shrimp Stix advertisement on TV and was rather interested by it as KFC has always been known for its chicken, not seafood! The advertisement featured plump shrimp wrapped in a crumbed batter which looked pretty good until I tried it! Read on for my review of the KFC Shrimp Stix promotion!

KFC Shrimp Stix Is Expensive

An ala-carte order of Shrimp Stix nets you four sticks for RM5.15 (almost RM6 with tax). The pieces are tiny 2-inch long little sticks for about RM1.50 per piece! The way it was served only accentuated its tiny size further for I had four little sticks rattling around in a large paper box! Certainly nothing like their advertisement and although I put that down to the power of advertising and media liberties, I thought it was a real rip-off to charge customers such a high price for something so tiny! If you’re looking for a cheap snack, this is certainly not it!

KFC Shrimp Stix Tastes Horrid

After my initial horror over the price, I tested the overpriced shrimp. It was absolutely horrid! Each stick was coated in crumbed batter not unlike the processed seafood or chicken nuggets you can find in your supermarket freezer. Its crunchy and when you bite into it, you get a creamy concoction with no shrimp! No plump shrimp waiting for your every bite!

Instead, all you get is a chewy texture not unlike the imitation crabstick filamen you can again find in your supermarket freezer. The taste was not memorable at all and I only remember a creamy texture which tasted a little like plastic! :P

So will I recommend you try KFC Shrimp Stix? Not particularly unless you wish to experience it for yourself! Otherwise, you probably can find cheaper and tastier snack options in the form of packed nuggets!
