KFC Philippines Double Down Dog #KFCDoubleDownDog

I was at KFC Antipolo branch the other day to grab some quick snack while doing some errands when I noticed from their menu that they are offering the KFC Double Down Dog. I have heard and seen advertisement of Double Down Dog from TV, Facebook, Twitter, and on Instagram for weeks now but with the tag "Limited Offer." I also heard that only select KFC branches carry this new product. Since I was out-of-town most of the time, I somehow ditched the idea to race against time just to try it.

But curiosity got the better off me when several friends sent me SMS asking my opinion about the Double Down Dog - theirs are mixed reactions. So, I have checked few KFC provincial branches while on some trips to no avail. Little did I know, I could have this KFC Double Down Dog at the branch near my home.

Just like the KFC Original Double Down, the Double Down Dog variant boasts of KFC's famed fried chicken but in fillet form. Right smack in the middle of the taco-shaped fillet is a piece of regular size Tender Juicy Chick N' Cheese Hotdog topped sloppily with what I think was a sandwich spread.

Eaten as it is, I find it a tad salty for my liking. I guess the savory combination of hotdog and chicken which was supposed to be a meat-on-meat dream come true produced a combination of flavor saltier than I liked.

I am not a big fan of "sandwich spread" in general. Those store bought mayo dotted with chopped pickles, I detest. I adore plain mayo, I have a favorite brand which I support. But the "sandwich spread" variant - I don't need that crap in my life, seriously. It should be called pickle spread for heaven sake.

Sadly, that resembles to what they use for Double Down Dog. So I was only able to eat it after scrapping the thing off. I was thinking they should have probably use cheese sauce instead - but then again, it will further contribute to the saltiness of the grub. Perhaps a mild flavor ones?

Personally, KFC Double Down Dog for me is not really bad at all. I still enjoy the chicken and the hotdog but only after couple of bites. After that, I was already craving for something to offset the flavor. I could easily go for a bread, but it will defeat the purpose (ditch the bread for the mighty fried chicken bun) So instead, I had it with rice. We are in a democratic country after all.

KFC Original Double Down

Between the KFC Double Down Dog and the Original Double Down, I still prefer the Original one. That is not to say that the Double Down Dog is not worth a try because I know some people who likes it.

How about you, have you tried KFC Double Down Dog already? I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Feel free to share them.
