The TikTok user @emihle_raziya1 shared her thoughts on each component, starting with the fries.

"The fries are a bit stale cause I bought these last night, so I wouldn't be too harsh," she said, giving them a score of seven out of ten and suggesting they could use more salt.

Next, she tried the Crunch Burger and the chicken. "The burger doesn’t taste very different from back home @emihle_raziya1 said, adding that the chicken, which she believes were zinger wings, were less spicy than those in South Africa.

"I’ll give it a nine. They don’t taste exactly the same, and they don’t look exactly like the ones back home."

The content creator @emihle_raziya1 also commented on the chicken meat itself.

"I don’t know why it looks like this; it doesn’t look like KFC meat, even the skin. It doesn’t taste bad, though. I’ll give it a nine, it’s not that bad," she said.
