kfc hot and cheezyKFC Malaysia, a unit of QSR Brands (M) Holdings Sdn Bhd, expects its new Hot & Cheezy menu to help drive its sales mix by about 15% during the promotion period from today until Dec 31 this year.

The company has launched its Hot & Cheezy, with two intense flavours – KFC’s Hot & Spicy chicken and premium Romano cheese sauce.

This is also extended in a unique burger version, with the addition of premium Romano cheese sauce on the spicy Zinger fillet, layered with mayonnaise, lettuce and crunchy nachos, making it a burger with an explosion of indulgent flavours.

KFC marketing senior general manager Angelina Villanueva said the rise in global consumers preferring gourmet premium food served in quick and easy fashion has inspired KFC Malaysia to create this product.
