It seems it was opened on 14th Oct.2010 but I only found out about 2-3 days ago in local newspapers. Back in UK, my favourite was 9.99 pounds 8 pc bucket. Later on it was 10pcs for 11.99 with a large bottle of coke and French fries. Yesterday, we visited KFC, at St. Inez, near Fire Station We were surprised to see a long Q just to make an entry. At first, we thought some youngsters are Q-ing for job iterview. It took us 15 minutes to gain access and then again at the counter it was taking over 20 minutes, yet, like everybody else, we did not give up. Not even 3 weeks old and the GOA KFC is very popular. seen kids as young as 9-10 years old at the counter with rolled 100/50s notes as if they are using their Pocket money. When I saw the price of my favourite regular bucket of 8 pcs (i.e. Rs.349) I said ‘avoissss’ as if we were paying less in the UK (we paid equivalent to Rs.750). If needed French fries, drinks, coleslaw etc you pay Rs.25 each I said, ‘just the bucket and no extras’ - ‘That will be 393 Sir’ I said to my self ‘How come 393? Menu says 349’ Then I realized that the prices on the menu card are exclusive of local taxes i.e. 12.5% We did try to imitate KFC chicken at our home kitchen But despite of trying with various combinations/spices etc ours was never the same as KFC, not even close to KFC. I guess KFC has the secret ‘Zing’ thing in their chiken. Anyway, we enjoyed our meal. Check here some pics Heavy rush http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk30/5148327528/sizes/l/
