SINGAPORE - It is arguable what is Singapore's national dish, but this National Day, the chilli crab has certainly stolen the spotlight. Fast food chain KFC announced on July 9 its Chilli Crab Mantou menu, in shell-abration of the nation's birthday, a day after McDonald's unveiled its own crustacean-inspired offerings , in collaboration with local restaurant Jumbo Seafood. From July 23 to Sept 2, fans of the seafood dish will be able to get their claws on KFC's Chilli Crab Mantou Burger (from $7.95) - a Zinger patty dressed in chilli crab sauce and pinched between an extra-large mantou, in place of regular burger buns. Alternatively, one can tuck into the fast food chain's Chilli Crab Chicken (from $9.70), which comes with two chicken pieces, two pieces of mantou and a chilli crab dip. If you just want to enjoy the pairing of bun and gravy, a set of four mantous and a tub of chilli crab sauce will be available at $5.20. Other than that, KFC will also offer the Ondeh Ondeh Egg Tart ($2.50) during this period. These new offerings will be available on food delivery platforms, as well as KFC outlets except the ones in the Singapore Zoo and Sentosa. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

'I tried KFC for the first time and was left completely traumatised'
KFC is a high street favourite for thousands of hungry Brits every single day but one YouTuber who had never actually been to one decided to give it a try – before having instant regrets A content creator had her first ever KFC and promised to never return after her meal was not so 'finger lickin' good' after all. Hannah Ricketts, a YouTuber who specialises in lifestyle and travel themes, said the Kentucky fried chicken will "haunt" her for a long time. In a recently uploaded video titled 'I Tried KFC For The First Time...I AM TRAUMATISED', she explained what exactly went wrong. She started her vlog by acknowledging her life-long absence from KFC. Hannah described herself as a McDonald's girl at heart and during her university days she stuck to Chicken Cottage. However, she was excited by her first KFC outing, and had a gut feeling that it was going to be 'yummy' fast food treat. In total, she spent £15.25 inside the branch in Edgeware Road, London, and got a small popcorn chicken, a Zinger burger, gravy and two pieces of original recipe chicken. Tucking into the popcorn chicken in a park nearby, she said: 'It is so dry. They are a bit pale, a little bit pasty. I feel they could have been cooked for a little longer.' However, she said the flavour, described as peppery, was nice, but that the £2 was steep for what she got. She added that it was 'not a great start' before things went from bad to worse. Testing the gravy, she said it looked "absolutely rancid' and questioned why it looked 'funky' and whether white bits were supposedly floating inside. Trying her Zinger burger, she said it had a nice heat but the piece of chicken was very thin, especially given it was £6. And ripping into the meal, she said: 'There is like a hard lump there and I don't really want to eat that. There is such inconsistency in the fry, there is loads of crispy bits down here and it is a little bit soggy on the other side. 'I think it is just not cooked very well or the chicken is just really bad quality. I'm not sure.' She said the mayo was 'ok' but that the burger looked like it had been sat for a long time, before refusing to eat any more. But the final straw for Hannah were the chicken pieces, and after taking a bite, she said: 'Oh my God, what is that? It is mushy.' After spitting it out, she continued: 'Ok, you are going to comment saying 'look at you with your designer sunglasses on and you go to these hotels and fancy places'. Your girl grew up on Chicken Cottage, that is absolutely disgusting. Oh my God, I don't think I've ever had such a disgusting chicken.' Hannah then questioned who was going to KFC for their lunch and said the quality of the chicken was 'unacceptable' and 'absolutely foul'. She then said she was 'feeling funny' because of the texture of the chicken and asked her 370,000 subscribers: 'Is this a joke?' The YouTuber said she would never return to a KFC and said the 'greasy' snacks put her in a bad mood, despite acknowledging that she forgot to order chips, and said they looked appealing. Trying to offer balance, she said the flavour and seasoning of the chicken had potential, but that the quality was 'foul'. Concluding her experience, she said: 'It is disgusting. I don't know if because it is such a big franchise there is a lack of consistency – I think that's probably what it is. 'I don't expect it to be a Michelin star. I don't expect it to be particularly great. But it just has to be good, honest, flavourable food that is maybe a little bit fresh. 'I don't mind if it is a little bit dry here and there, it is fast food at the end of the day. We all have hit and miss McDonald's and Burger King or Dominoes or whatever. 'But for that price, the quality of the chicken, that chicken leg, that is going to haunt me for a while.'

West Coast Auto & Leisure vehicle sales site shuttered
A company that once proclaimed itself Manitoba's fastest growing RV retailer — and recently expanded its footprint — has gone dark. West Coast Auto & Leisure's lot was empty Thursday. Typically, used cars and RVs cover 2585 McGillivray Blvd., an acreage at Winnipeg's southwest edge. The roughly 15,000-square-foot building on site, which West Coast opened three years ago, revealed no signs of activity. Candy canes were still painted on a window. Leadership at West Coast Auto didn't respond to interview requests by print deadline. The dealer's Google status reads 'permanently closed.' Meantime, West Coast's sister company in Saskatchewan has entered receivership. Moose Jaw Auto & Leisure owed the Royal Bank of Canada approximately $1.5 million as of July 15, 2024, per documents filed in Saskatchewan's Court of King's Bench. BDO Canada seized control of the business last August. The Saskatchewan operation had roughly $38,864 in its accounts receivable on July 31, 2024, a BDO report reads. It highlights $9,352 being owed from West Coast Motor Sales & Leasing Corp. (connected to West Coast Auto) and RVana Leisure Group. '(These are) two (2) related companies that are no longer operating and have no ability to pay,' outlines the BDO report, which is dated Feb. 28. Vehicles have been off West Coast Auto's lot for at least two months, according to an estimate from a nearby garden centre employee. The change took her by surprise, she said. Just four years ago, construction crews were erecting the new building. Panoramic views and a photo booth with room to showcase vehicles were in the designs, a Contempora Steel Builders online post reads. '2021 will be an exciting year for West Coast,' then-general manager Zane Puhach said in a video on West Coast Auto's YouTube channel. He cited new staff, RV product lines and the upcoming building. The dealership had been around for more than two decades. It was previously called West Coast Auto & RV, and it operated in a converted house. In 2022, West Coast was a Winnipeg Blue Bombers sponsorship partner. Puhach, in another video, highlighted gameday giveaways and a tailgating experience. The Bombers declined to comment Thursday, noting the partnership ended a couple years ago. West Coast Auto & Leisure was a 'long-standing member' of the Manitoba Used Car Dealers Association until 2021. It had new management, said association executive director Kim Magnusson. The organization declined further comment. Capital Commercial Real Estate advertises 2585 McGillivray Blvd. for sale or lease. The two-storey building is listed for $6.25 million and $26 per square foot. West Coast sold Glacier Ice House ice fishing trailers and Zinger RVs, among other brands. It still brands itself 'Manitoba's Fastest Growing RV Retailer' on its Instagram profile. Gabrielle PichéReporter Gabrielle Piché reports on business for the Free Press.
