On May 29, 2020, KFC released its latest product: the Mozzarella Zinger Double Down.

Technically, there were two other new menu items as well, namely the Zinger Double Down (which is a returning item) and the new Sour Cream & Onion Fries.

But let's focus on the Mozzarella Zinger Double Down for now.

Probably the most decadent KFC burger so far

If the burger seems familiar to anyone, it's because it's essentially a blend of two other KFC burgers: the earlier mentioned Zinger Double Down, and the Zinger Mozzarella Burger, both of which were limited release items.

The former replaces the slices of bread that are quintessential to a good burger with two Zinger patties, while the latter features a deep fried patty of mozzarella cheese.

When combined, it forms one of KFC's most decadent burgers thus far, which is really saying something, considering fried chicken is the main staple on KFC's menu.

Even the box reminds you of the sinful, carnivorous journey that you're about to embark on when you try the burger.

In fact, apart from having no bun, the burger also lacks basically any other kind of accompaniments, such as lettuce, and the sauce was kept at a minimum as well.

If you're the kind of person that hates having to deal with a messy burger, this will probably be a treat for you.

Despite its relatively petite size, this was likely the most filling burger I've ever ate, due to the generous amount of cheese and fried chicken.

It was also quite tasty, though I needed to pace myself to finish it without feeling too jelak.

The Mozzarella Zinger Double Down comes in several meal options, but unless you have an especially large appetite, or really want to undo all the circuit breaker exercise you've been doing, don't bother.

The burger alone is probably enough to leave you full (perhaps nauseatingly so).

The other new menu item, the Sour Cream & Onion Fries, were similar to McDonald's seaweed shaker fries, except in a different flavour.

It was tasty, but nothing too revolutionary.

Also, after finishing my Double Down burger, I was feeling way too bloated to consider finishing the fries. Sad.

Rating: Solid 4 out of 5. Just bring a healthy appetite and be prepared to go to the toilet afterwards.
