Battle of The KFC Wings: Umadare versus Yang Yeum

Advertorial

 kfc crispy spicy

Loving how innovative KFC is these days!! Not long ago, I tried their new spicy recipe as pictured above. Red in colour and quite spicy especially when paired with their new chilli. Now they have launched chicken wings coated in 2 new, bold flavours!

They are inspired by the rich Japanese and Korean culture that we Singaporeans love so much. Not only are Korea and Japan increasingly popular tourist destinations, ask any local on the streets and they can name you at least one K-pop group or one Japanese dish.

kfc yang yeum wings

Korean-inspired Yang Yeum wings
Taste: Spicy, smoky and BBQ-like
Think of: K-pop bands, K-dramas and Korean BBQ

Japanese-inspired Umadare wings
Taste: Sweet, tangy and savoury
Think of: Manga, cosplay and sushi

kfc japanese korean wings

Freshly breaded in-store with a special batter and cooked to crispy perfection! I was very lucky to get to try both flavours at Junction 8 last week. Thanks, Nuffnang and KFC! So which did I like better? 🙂 To be honest, it was difficult having to choose just one!

kfc umadare yang yeum

Umadare for me because I like how well the sweetness of the batter goes with the chicken meat inside. But the Yang Yeum is very tasty too and those who like spicy food will enjoy its sizzling punch! But of course, both are finger-licking good 😉

As you can tell from my dark eye circles and eye bags. I’m sooo drained and tired. Was a crazy workaholic the whole month and I barely had time/energy for anything else. Mostly spent my free time re-reading Harry Potter… at 3am. So that’s not really helping either.

These wings were a good perk-me-up actually. Go try them for yourselves!

Work hard, party hard

Been awhile since I’ve felt this emotionally stable and content. Don’t know if I’m truly okay because my mood fluctuates and I do still think about stuff but at least now I feel like I will survive. Too crazy busy with work these few weeks so I don’t really have time to over-think and be emo anyway.

Lots of night shifts recently and aside from daily editorial work, there were events / campaigns / projects / tasks to work on concurrently, sometimes on my own time. Some days I was even in office from morning to morning. Been postponing my off days such that when I asked Noor how many off-in-lieus she owed me, she said, “Ten thousand days la, Cherlynn.” HAHAHA.

Not that I mind because I’m the kind who works well under pressure and the end result is always very fulfilling. Felt such a surge of pride upon seeing our logo at Super Summer last Thursday. That night was such a blast despite my drama hahahaha. Individual post and photos soon if I have time!

So many freebies, offers and activities this long weekend because of SG50 but I feel like I have barely made good use of them. No energyzzz. Limping everywhere due to my sprained ankle and I have the flu.

Solo morning shifts on Friday and Saturday (yeah, not everyone has a 4-day weekend, you know). But it’s okay, had a cinema marathon with Kumar, Kenneth and Baoying on Friday and a home movie marathon on Saturday. Stayed home all Sunday to recuperate.

Finally spent time with my mum yesterday (Aug 10) and we watched Ant-Man. I’d already seen it but I really like it and knew she would too. It’s sooo funny! Wanted to watch Fantastic Four but the reviews were worse than sucky. A superhero film being only 100 minutes long is enough to make me suspicious.

Rewatched Clueless and The Dark Knight aka two of my all-time favourite movies last weekend. Woohoo simple pleasures. Good movies that you never tire of are so rare nowadays.

We had dinner at Ofira Amazing Thai Food. A little corner stall at Far East Plaza that’s been there for years and years. I remember how Darilene and I used to eat there after our many shopping sprees.

Ofira Amazing pad thai

We shared pad thai but it was just very average.

Ofira Amazing tom yum soup

Tom yum yum yum yum (sooo tasty and it cleared up my blocked nose)

Ofira Amazing beef fried rice

Really fragrant beef fried rice. The meat is all inside.

See, I’m perfectly capable of blogging normal, non-emo things ok. Actually I have endless things to say but 1) I never know where to begin 2) my Twitter favourites and retweets speak more accurately than I ever can 3) is there really a point anymore because most people are just busybodies who are more curious than concerned and the one who should care doesn’t. And that’s okay too.

I wrote this in my mobile diary app few days back and I do mean it.
I wish you all the good and happiness in life. I really do.
