Texas Chicken

4-​stars as I was able to get fried chicken here, and I seriously mean it. After two frustrating events where I couldn’t get fried chicken which I was craving for badly at a McDonald’s nearby my place, I make it a point that the fast food restaurant that I visit MUST have, fried chicken.
In fact, right now I prefer this chain than some other classic fast food in KL. Texas definitely wasn’t as well known it is now compared to before, and you would see its branches being opened at more places in town.
Their fried chicken is actually pretty good — at least good enough that your craving won’t end up a disappointment!
But, there’s one thing as well — their set meals usually come with a puff that combines the texture of crusty muffin and bun. It tastes slightly salty but at the same time your tastebuds will be wrapped with the sweet crust. It doesn’t end there just yet — the next taste note will be the buttery moist centre. So good! I might actually come back next time just for that!
Only thing that I was slightly disappointed with was just the set meal that I ordered was supposed to come with salsa fries — one of their promotional items — but it was sold out, and I wasn’t even told by the attendant about that. It’d be proper to at least let the customers know that certain things that they ordered had sold out.

I am definitely always game to try out new fast-​food chicken places! I was excited about Popeye’s when they first came but then most of their stores closed down. So when Texas Chicken opened in Mid Valley, I knew I had to give it a try.
Don’t expect much from them in terms of décor. Obviously, being a fast-​food joint there are loud, bright colours everywhere. Their seating area seems limited to me; they are always full! I mean between the office folks and regular mall-​goers, they are never at a shortage for customers!
OK so on to the important stuff: the food! Admittedly I didn’t like everything I tried and I haven’t tried everything on their menu yet. What I can recommend though are their Jalapeño Bombers which are jalapeño peppers and cheese coated in batter and fried. What’s not to like about that? And the one thing I always order without fail are their chicken strips (or is it chicken tenders?). I prefer my chicken boneless so this one is great. Available in original or spicy, I like them both! Their nuggets weren’t very good though, so I’d forget about ordering that again. If you’re a fan of fried chicken and want something different from the usual KFC, give this place a try.

Another brand of fast food chain from USA. In Midvalley Megamall branch, the amount of seats is not enough as there are a few office towers around. But the services is quite fast and good which makes the queue-​ing up not so depressing. Drinks is refillable. It is not very expensive. GST is included for the prices too!

If you want to date me, there’s one thing that I need you to know and that is my undying love for fried chicken. You might not understand the passion I have for these tender, golden brown, deep fried pieces of heaven, but I assure you it is there burning deep inside me. If you have an issue against it, I will not hesitate to pick fried chicken over you (life is simple, don’t overcomplicate things.) I’m a drumstick and thigh kinda’ guy.
Here’s how serious I am about fried chicken. You can blind fold me and hand me a plate of fried chicken from different restaurants and I would be able to tell which chicken belongs to which restaurant. I am now currently tied between the hot and spicy at KFC and the ayam goreng spicy McDonalds. They are both very different and yet taste so good! Owh im also forgetting the frozen red hot Ayamas fried chicken, but ill leave that to another story.
So it’s only natural that when another fried chicken shop opens up ill be one of the first to try it out. That was the case with Texas Chicken. I went for their spicy version and also had a burger to go. The fried chicken had a distinctive taste of its own, quite different from McDonalds and KFC but yet it didn’t really do the trick for me. They must’ve have missed an ingredient. It wasn’t as hot as the ones in McDonalds yet hotter than the one in KFC. It really was quite the conundrum for me. I had the burger later when I got back home and I think the Zinger burger in KFC is waaay better.
Service wise, it was like any other fast food chain. It was loud, busy and everyone was scrambling to get a taste of the new fried chicken in town. The place holds a resemblance to Burger Kind because of the color scheme that they have adopted but I assure you the logo is completely different.
PS: I work out really hard to compensate for all the fried chicken I eat. Chicken drummets do not look good in skinny jeans.
