When you walk into a fast-food restaurant you used to frequent in college, nostalgia strikes in a new way. The scent of fries, the familiar plastic trays, and the murmur of conversation transport you back to late-night study sessions, low-cost meals with friends, and carefree laughter over shared hamburgers.
Suddenly, you recall the times you spent studying for tests, sitting in the corner with a coffee or a sundae, pretending to study while conversing with friends. Or when you were broke and a simple meal felt like a feast, it didn't matter because you were with the right people.
Because you're older, wiser, and perhaps even yearning for the simplicity of those days, it's like entering a time capsule where everything feels the same but differs.
This is how I felt walking into KFC, my favourite college restaurant.
After many years, walking into a KFC restaurant is like opening a door to the past. The familiar aroma of fried chicken and gravy brings back memories of my college days when a bucket of chicken was a luxury shared with friends during study breaks or post-exam celebrations.
To stretch our student budget and buy a meal, my friends and I crowded into a booth and argued over who would get the last piece of chicken. The sight of people eating our meals, the red-and-white-striped walls, and the quiet hum of the cashier calling out orders feels familiar yet distant, like a warm hug from a time before I realized how much I would miss.
In those bygone days, KFC was more than just a fast-food restaurant; it was a place of memories where life seemed more straightforward, friendships were bolstered, and stress was temporarily forgotten. I can't help but smile as I sit down to our meal now, realizing how much has changed and how nice it is that some things, like the flavour of that crispy chicken, haven't changed.
The best part about KFC's food is its famously flavorful and crispy chicken, which has a distinct and delicious flavour thanks to an irresistible blend of eleven secret herbs and spices. KFC's chicken is the pinnacle of comfort food, whether the traditional Original Recipe with its crispy coating and juicy, tender inside or the extra crunchy Hot & Crispy for those who like a little spice.
Then there's the gravy, which is thick, flavorful, and perfect for dipping fries and chicken or drizzling over rice. A KFC meal isn't complete for Filipinos without the chicken and rice combo, making it a filling and satisfying option.
And they struck their sides differently! Every bite evokes nostalgia and comfort, from the creamy mashed potatoes to the sweet, buttery corn and their famous coleslaw. Not to be missed is the Zinger burger, a quick but filling meal consisting of a crispy, spicy chicken fillet on a soft bun.
The best feature? KFC never fails to deliver that comforting, familiar flavour that brings back good memories, whether you're eating it as a treat with friends or after a long day.
I'm going to share my cousin's and my orders for today.
KFC Harbor Point Subic in Olongapo offers a variety of Fully Loaded Boxes that include a satisfying mix of KFC favourites.
KFC's Fully Loaded Boxes are combo meals that include fried chicken, sides, and a beverage. These meals aim to provide customers with a complete and satisfying meal in a single box.
We ordered KFC Philippines' hearty Zinger Steak Fully Loaded Meal, which combines several fan favourites into a single meal to feed large groups.
Included:
One piece of chicken made with the original recipe.
Ala King Sauce for Zinger Steak
Mushroom Soup
Mashed Potato
Rice that was steam-cooked
Ice Tea
Eating the Zinger Steak Fully Loaded Meal at KFC with my cousin satisfies me immensely. The Original Recipe Chicken is crispy and juicy, and the rich and creamy Ala King sauce that coats the Zinger Steak melts in our mouths as we eat.
The smooth, buttery mashed potatoes complement each bite, while the warmth of the mushroom soup soothes our senses and makes the meal more enjoyable. The fluffy steamed rice absorbs the flavours, making each spoonful satisfying. You and your cousin smile as you enjoy the perfect flavours, texture, and companionship balance while sipping our refreshing beverage.
More than the food, the occasion is about laughter, happiness, and bonding. Knowing that delicious food tastes even better when shared with loved ones makes me feel full after each bite, both physically and emotionally.

That is amazing! I love KFC, and their fries are big and taste very good. I had KFC last month, so I might as well share my experience.
