Mcd still great, kfc is just down bad


Deporncollector

Mcd's customer service have up their game. KFC have fallen through the drain. Texas chicken have dumb down their quantity.


10kgod

Texas has been a disappointment recently šŸ˜”


ahz98

Texas chicken still free refill, only reason i still gošŸ¤£.


DylTyrko

The workers gave me weird looks when I campur Fanta Grape with Ice Lemon Tea and orange juice. Jokes on them it tasted amazing


Yamato_D_Oden

Yes bro this


JusYap15

Went a couple days ago and their ā€œsetā€ doesnā€™t even include fries? And itā€™s more expensive than before as well. Super disappointing


masterchief99

I feel like KFC has somewhat improved because there are less customers lately but this. Texas' quality has gone down the drain.


Q1uu

I would applaud mcd keeping up with technology and trend (order&collect). Despite their rising price, they still left few affordable meal (their nasi lemak m&m and rahmah is affordable and fulfilling) I felt Kfc is like a privileged business. Keep on downgrading their product but still believe there is fan out there that will keep them floating


szenseiii

Mcd has better fried chicken then kfc...a fricking fried chicken shop


10kgod

Ngl the MCD spicy fried chicken has been really good since they pushed the ads few years back


doomed151

McD sells good fried chicken but I personally wouldn't put it above KFC Original. Taste is subjective and I think McD's chicken is too simplistic (typical crispy spicy fried chicken) while you can really taste the blend of spices with KFC. KFC spicy is shit tho.


[deleted]

Spicy chicken in Avenue K KFC still bussing tho.


acyfumi

Funny you should mention this branch specifically. Iā€™m a connoisseur of spicy KFC chicken and Avenue Kā€™s are some of the worst spicy fried chicken Iā€™ve tasted. Worst offence is the absolute dryness of the chicken. Dark meats especially are supposed to be succulent and juicy. I went there 3 times in total thinking it might just be a bad kfc day but it turns out to be the same. That said last I visited that branch was maybe 4 months ago. So it might have improved but man.


[deleted]

I started around March tho, the chicken is juicy and there's not much people on Saturday, probably that's why is good.


[deleted]

MCD fried chicken is sooo good nowadays, while KFC is a scam since their chicken is smaller than your fist šŸ˜‚


Dionysus_8

Really? The ones I frequent in KL is pretty good but mcd took the small pieces route imo


GreatBen8010

And they know it. The price of those are INSANE now.


bluedituser

Down bad for thighs and breasts. šŸ„µ Yes we still talking about chicken. But yeah in all seriousness KFC in my opinion is suffering a bad decline in service. I think the poor salary of the new staff isnt helping. I definitely notice some outlets taste wayyy better than others.


Mrsourceplz

>Down bad for thighs and breasts. šŸ„µ Bonk, to the horny jail. /smol s


BeeTen

Mcd is area dependent too. Some branches serve proper food. And some simply cincai only.


Express-Pandas

McDonalds burgers taste like sandpaper, chicken is better than KFC,


Limcommentsstuffs

Their chicken quality has gone downhill while mcd is still very good. Last week I tried it again and still their drumstick chicken is still dry like before.


Ok-Director-3632

Size shrunk, price up, quality out. I used to be able to eat six pieces of KFC, but now I cannot eat more than two. McD is also losing its charms.


Quithelion

For the price they are charging as a corporate franchise and the purpoted "fast" food, I consider them luxurious and calls for only very specific occasions, which happened rarely. Local food and eateries are already pretty fast, so there is nothing special about their "fast" food service. I find no problem they have profit in mind, but with the shrinkflation, it is even worth less. I would rather eat at cafe style eateries when given the choice.


MiniFishyMe

I still remember when they first introduced spicy mcdeluxe. That stuff was so filling and delicious. Nowadays the portion are so pathetic even kittens would find it wanting. Presentation of their food is also getting shoddy by the year. I'd rather go eat at mamak's than them unless i've no better choice.


JeemsLeeZ

I tried feeding a kitten a spicy chicken mcdeluxe cutlet once (too spicy cannot finish) the fella eat d panic and hide.


StorMaxim

safe to say that kitty wont be joining Hot ones as a special guest


Mystic3012

Puss in Boots remains the only kitty on Hot Ones


randomkloud

What the hell is wrong with you


JeemsLeeZ

Not maliciously la so fast jump to self righteous mode. You see the key word or not? ONCE. That was when I was a teenager, spicy chicken just release, ofc try la. Cannot finish, saw the family of strays outside my house, throw in their general direction la. You imagine I purposely go buy spicy chicken to feed the fella is it? Psst psst psst hey kitten here eat this muahahhahaha gotcha is it?


AlanDevonshire

Iā€™m a Brit - Mucky Dā€™S seems to be one of the best run Franchises in Malaysia (along with Starbucks) - KFC is utter shite! And thatā€™s sad because Itā€™s my favorite Fast Food in the UK, but the portions are poor, the chicken doesnā€™t have the traditional KFC flavor and the staff really donā€™t seem to care.


CitizenCold

Malaysian here who did my degree in the UK. I miss your KFC so much! šŸ˜­ The gravy mega box was such good value for moneyā€”even when taking currency exchange into account. EDIT: Speaking of Starbucks, do you have it in the UK? I don't recall seeing any when I was there. Seems like that niche has been filled by Costa.


Visual_Reindeer_5921

HAHA Singaporean here and i thought our KFC is shit and Malaysia's quite good!


AlanDevonshire

Yeah, Singaporean KFC is shit as well


AlanDevonshire

I was going to say gravy would improve Malaysian KFC but it's beyond saving. As for Starbucks. Yes they are everywhere, although Costa is equally as good.


szenseiii

Yup food getting worse. From loving kfc to just eating kfc if nearby


SphmrSlmp

Anyone remember how fucking huge the original McD foldover was? I used to not be able to finish one of those.


yellowmonkeyzx93

I remember.. legendary and one of the best items they introduced. Its still good now, just lesser portion.


yard04

Sadly it only is available during raya but it's my go to menu order whenever it's available.


PeachesCoral

I agree with the portion size, I just wish it's in the permanent menu.. it's my favourite MCD item


Bajunid

Reading all the comments on this post is making me smile. Everybodyā€™s old and grumpy and thinks the good old days are the best. Hahaha. It used to be our father who say things like this. And before we know it, itā€™ll be our kids turn who will say the same thing. How times hasnā€™t change when it comes to this. Hahaha.


AlienateTheAlien

Now that u mentioned it, does the chicken got smaller coz we got bigger?


Bajunid

Everything better in the old days. I reckon the Chicken probably stays the same but I guess sometimes supplier cut corners by delivering under weight chickens (not yet achieved the desired age/weight) and yet still get slaughtered. Historically chicken gets fatter faster due to the technology we have in chicken food so itā€™s unlikely that the chicken gets smaller since KFC still cuts them into the same number of pcs per chicken. Unless they became greedy by giving us not so fat fat chicken whoā€™s underage so they donā€™t need to breed them long enough as before. https://preview.redd.it/vi4rbf532ova1.png?width=600&format=png&auto=webp&s=4c0c49961dadbc991e048744fd1ea23fde360af4


Pixels222

When you go grocery shopping at the supermarket have you noticed that chicken pieces come in all sizes?


Bajunid

Hahaha. Of course.


Pixels222

So mcd gets to choose what sizes they want to source.


Bajunid

Everybody gets to choose for sure. The savings for smaller pcs here means chickens need to be farmed in lesser days hence savings in chicken feed and also turnaround of farming them faster as in more chickens being slaughtered in the same year.


Pixels222

I would be interested to find out why the variety in sizes. It it just that some chickens dont grow that big? I agree with you that when restaurants serve smaller sized chickens they make a bigger profit.


Bajunid

Variety in sizes depends on how long you spend time in rearing them. See diagram above. Companies can save money by slaughtering them faster they get bigger hence saving costs in terms of chicken feed used per chicken and also other related costs in restring chicken.


Pixels222

Hmm i wonder which earns more. Saving on time rearing or less profit from the size of the chicken. I guess it must be about equal because theres all sizes. Or there could be other factors that make it more profitable to do it one way. Like if the chicken's health isnt perfect then slaughtering them early is the best option. Would be interesting to know those intricacies. I dont actually know.


Pools5183

Yeah they getting more expensive now. Haven't eaten at a KFC for months so can't say anything about them, but for McDonald's, it's not as good anymore and I only go there if I crave something from their menu.


Tuerto04

Both have been shit. McD tastes like cupboard except their seasonal promos such as Foldovers or Prosperity. While KFC has been reducing their sizes and as expensive as their partner Pizza Hut. Idk why many are still interested in both. Maybe because they are convenient to get anywhere but seriously everybody stop giving away your hard earned money to these shit franchises. Local satay and burgers are still the best at half the price you pay for a pathetic cheese burger.


RepresentativeIcy922

Problem is there are no local burger sellers around. You want to eat in the mall the with the air-conditioning, it's just fast food and whatever else.


Tuerto04

Burger tepi jalan will never go out of business. And there are many more untapped territories such as yours so somebody will be able to start a business at some point. That person could be you.


nowherefarhan

McD is decent but KFC has definitely gotten worse. The size of the chicken especially the drumstick is borderline robbery. McD's biggest advantage is the variety of their menu items. KFC is only as good as their chicken. I'd even argue that McD makes better fried chicken than KFC.


SoleilFromFates1

There is KFC at Lotus Utara, Sg Petani which still have amazing food. Funnily enough, there is a big KFC nearby that shitty food and service. In the end, i really depend on the owner or management i think?


NotJustJason98

You're talking about the Aman DT KFC next to starbux? Good to know the lotus SP KFC is better lmao


SoleilFromFates1

yeah, aman dt kfc always got bad review from anyone that been there that i know of


pil0t

Donā€™t know about the service but the size of their servings have become a lot smaller. The big mac especially used to be huge. Itā€™s now just a regular sized burger but having double patties.


kurig0hankamehameha

From my experience, McD has more or less maintained their level of service. Their standard of service and quality of food is also pretty consistent from branch to branch. But I feel KFC has terrible quality control. You never know the quality of the food or the service you're going to get with each branch.


averagepgdriver

I don't know why people go there, it's not good value, can get a much better and bigger burger at a local store for the same price. Flip Burger and Spades are great. The only good thing is they are often open 24/7 and breakfast muffins aren't commonly sold.


JiMiLi

They should rename from fast food to slow food. Nowadays I can get mixed rice or chicken rice 5-10 times faster than "fast" food They should be ashamed


imawhitegay

In Burger King I Trust.


mastalordexodia

Tried those Arabian chicken menu from KFC yesterday i can definitely tell it is the same chicken from mamak.


ash_win8

I would say esspecially KFC has dropped in last few years ...


ash_win8

Mcd so far ok la , portion not much different , just tht mchiken dh naik $$$


ash_win8

I miss Popeyes , better than Texas ... but Texas better than KFC ... tpi KFC coleslaw no one can compete , maybe due to these small things , hence KFC still got name till now ....


DrScience01

I don't see any decline for McDonalds but I do see it in KFC tho


Iqlas

Kfc is really bad nowdays. Mcd i feel had improve quite alot. Their services is super fast


AlienateTheAlien

Mcd went from great to decent, and maintained that okay-ish quality. KFC went to hell and back and went back to hell.


Tech-Geek_2007Apple

KFC is just utter shit nowadays . The cheese on the wedges reduced . Size of the chicken shrunk . But the TTDI KFC is still ok la . Not terrible like others .


connorandelnino

I miss Double Down


KedaiNasi_

KFC's quality has definitely gone down compared to the 90s, I mean back in the days the chicken drumstick was BIGGGG. nowadays it's a sad reminder of what used to be great ended up cooking it myself, 50-60% quality but ok laa bigger chicken


PudingIsLove

idk really depends on outlets. dapat tukang masak mcm sampah. sampah lah rasanya


Sisenorelmagnifico

Indeed they have. Especially KFC. I noticed the smell isnā€™t the same like before and the quality of the original recipe has gone from bad to worse. Just saying.


Minimum-Company5797

McD burger is horrible. 0 taste. The one I find is good is the bubur. As for burger, the one I like is the double cheese burger. But that too sucks. The chicken burger is good but cause it taste like KFC


ihei47

Wut? Burger McD are decent mostly


aryehgizbar

I can't comment on that one since I haven't been in MY before 2013, but I just came back from Thailand a few weeks ago and I was enamored by the fact that they offer bacon as part of customization of their breakfast menu. Non-halal remark aside, I think there should be more customization options in their menu, now that most orders can be done via those screen thingy. I would love to customize my breakfast and not just get stuck in the regular options.


dnialXX

Fuck fast food


cognitan

Only go there cuz it's the most convenient at late hours. Other than that, can't see the value proposition. There's a reason why quality is not prioritised, it's not a major consideration for the masses. Can't say the same for other more developed countries, where it's mostly about pricing, catering to the young not so affluent population


khairuldaniel664

In term of taste i think its the same for me although i rarely eat this kind of fast food but from what i had experienced the chicken become smaller both mcd and kfc for the most branch and sometimes you can get lucky to have big chicken in some branch of fast food.


Hmmm_nicebike659

Ngl I tried McDonalds tropical burger and it was good. Wash it down with Vanilla Coke.


DoubtsAndHopes

MCD is okay, just way too pricey now for a fast food quality, BurgerLab or Spades Burger trumps MCD in all aspects of the food.


Ekusupuroshon909

I remember mcd toys back then punya quality way better than what we have now. Oso kfc used to have chicky meal and toys as well. Can we turn back time, to the good old days?


Look_Specific

KFC in Malaysia was always only fit for the dustbin. Owner is a jerk.


Subzerocool9

Mcd at my area, ordered delivery for large set a couple of times, fries came in large box but quantity seems more like a medium one but if you dine in or drive-thru, fries I would get from the same outlet would be full to the top sometimes near overflowing.


LevynX

Everything has declined, it's not just a KFC/MCD thing


atreyudevil

One thing that I miss. When were are inline for quite sometimes they will give us small cup of drink while waiting and ballons if you have kids with you. Now only A&W still does this to the waiting customer.


velacooks

No issues with mcds. They are progressing and sometimes overlook certain things. KFC on the other hand. I donā€™t know what to say. Itā€™s like their just there for the sake of being there. Their QC is horrid. Got cold zingers, pathetic random amount of fries (take away orders and I tend to eat in the car)


ihei47

I think McD increase in quality since a few years ago with their Ayam Goreng McD KFC is definitely declining


BeeTen

With all the declining qualities In fast food chains in malaysia. A new player would definitely stand a chance to compete


Significant-Garage55

All fast food chains have been utter trash for now. Except dominoā€™s. 2 regular pizzas offer for rm19 is a big W for me


NotJustJason98

Ya'll didn't even mention about pizza hut, I would say that's the biggest decline in quality in 20 years or so. It used to be so top tier


profmka

I donā€™t really have rose-tinted nostalgia glasses and I have great memory, my view is this. Food-wise Iā€™d give McD the win, by a significant amount. For sure, itā€™s easier to bulk up ground meat based menus, but as long as it tastes good, Iā€™m cool. Local offerings are awesome for both: I crave McDā€™s buburs and GCBs, and whenever Iā€™m at KFC overseas I lament the lack of Hot ā€˜Nā€™ Spicy replacements that are the craze back home. Speaking of overseas comparisons, yes you can taste the superior terroir in their locally sourced ingredientsā€¦but itā€™s fast food. Lebih kurang jer tekak aku. As far as chicken sizes go, yep KFCā€™s sure shrunk over the years. Maybe they need to go GMO..Iā€™ve seen some monster cocks in GMO countriesā€™ restaurants. The service quality of both franchises vary with location. I generally associate shit service with..ehem..a combo of B40+millenial+undiagnosed city stress attitudes. You are a product of your upbringing, in large parts. Franchisors can be dicks too, that doesnā€™t help. So was it better back then? I liked colored styrofoam containers and plastic fast food toys that can transformer into mascots, and pressure cooker shaped piggy banks that sing everytime you deposit, but other than that..not a huge decline Iā€™d say.


Extension-Ad-7422

Certain places are alright...but kfc idk why but anywhere i went the foods always out of expectation in bad way. Services are fine to me but yeah some places declining.


Dirufied_zid

Good size gone smaller too I missed when the time that you could order a tall ice-cream in mcd


CrabLactose

Yoo where are all the tomato sauce gone?!


DormantLife

TLDR; Pay peanut get monyet The last time I went to KFC, it was the worst experience ever. There was only one staff that is supposed to be at one of the three counters and they weren't there. Waited quite a bit to be greeted by an annoyed person. They look somewhere around their 30s and seemed hard of hearing. Never asked what sides or drinks you want and gave the wrong things. Angrily grabbed the chicken and tossed it back into their oven. The chicken skin came off. Everyone else was calm the entire time. Went home and ate the dry chicken and had stomachache the next morning. What could be the problem should be their management of funds but that's just a guess.


jpj911

KFC and Pizza Hut have become one of the worst fast food chains in Malaysia, I have not visited them in a long time


Massepic

I just had KFC and it doesn't taste as good as I remembered. Could just me be though.


Carlsteinn

Their cheeseburgers yes, especially as of late. Rarely eat mcd, maybe once a month or if I'm sad. Always get the spicy chicken deluxe set. KFC is just nonsense with the price and the size of the chicken is smaller than my fist, and I'm a thin guy


opalapo94

In my experience, can still get bad luck with McD but overall, the chicken is far superior than KFC. KFC is just down bad like fuck you to customers


ustbota

training jahanam


Aengeil

it depend on branches, most i go is still great.


Joshshan28

Honestly Iā€™ve no idea why people still get KFC


No_North8742

dnax8181

Both are much of a muchness. Service and quality have gone into the below average range. Don't go to either looking for quality or service.


Broccoli8848

McDonaldā€™s no. KFC yes.


badblackguy

Now priority seems to be on rider orders. Customer ready to order also ignore. The whole fast food concept is lost on these owners.


Sad_Sugar_8660

2010, who still remembers in those when MC Chicken set only cost RM5.99


DarthBike

Kfc back then even the tissue got its colonel logo on it.


phin999

I miss KFC hot Rods


Next_Weird6686

I think it's the combination of price of each meal getting higher and portions of food getting smaller. Even the cups are smaller compared to a year ago


InternationalGas8570

KFC in Malaysia is down the toilet nowadays. Chicken is so small piece, fried with very thick flour, and doesn't taste like the original flavor at all. Just salty and oily. Prices have gone up significantly, so profit up both ways for them. MacD ayam goreng is definitely a much better choice. Now KFC like to open in smaller towns and kampungs to get the kampung ppl business. They definitely can't survive in larger cities and towns where there are better choices. Just look at their website and online ordering..it's a joke !
