Tasting the menu
During the taste test, KSquared says the chicken portions are generous and likes the chicken-to-bread ratio in the Zinger. The Portuguese tart compares favorably with ones from Portuguese bakeries they remember. They also try the Dragon Twister, describing it as a combination of KFC and local Chinese flavors.

The visit concludes with KSquared eating KFC ice cream. They describe the overall meal and the city setting positively, framing it as an unexpected experience with familiar fast food. Their point is that this Shanghai menu includes items they have not encountered elsewhere, not that all branches or menus are identical. The video combines a specific food tasting with observations about Shanghai’s cleanliness, transport payments and active public spaces.
KSquared also comments on the ordering experience and the broader city setting. Mobile payment makes the purchase quick, and the store’s cleanliness adds to their impression of the visit. Outside the restaurant they notice people walking and spending time in parks and other public spaces. Those observations accompany the menu tasting rather than replace it. The food sequence starts with the differences they notice on the menu, then moves through the Zinger, Dragon Twister, Wu Burger and popcorn chicken. They compare the chicken portions and breading, and discuss the Portuguese tart’s similarity to pastries they have eaten from Portuguese bakeries. KSquared’s assessment is based on those particular items and the Shanghai branch they visited. Ice cream gives them a final item before the visit ends. The overall experience exceeds their expectations, especially because the branch combines familiar KFC food with menu choices they had not seen in other countries.
