Yet another item has been added to KFC’ dessert manu.
Krusher, the international food chain’s latest mouth-watering item, appeared first yesterday at its Gulshan outlet in Dhaka.
The item is made from a combination of chocolate, cookie bits, coffee, dairy and ice. “You don’t only drink it. You slurp, munch, crunch, gulp and do much more.” KFC defined the frozen drink this way.
The drink is now available in five flavours — Choco Lash, Charred Coffee, Strawberry Smoothie, Virgin Mojito, Black Mojito.
“This is perhaps the most exciting addition to the KFC menu till date,” said Akku Chowdhury, executive director of Transcom Foods Ltd.
Transcom Foods, a concern of Transcom Group, is the franchisee of KFC in Bangladesh.
“When it comes to Krusher, it’s not just about the great taste and a cool drink — it’s about the experience,” Chowdhury added. “Gulp it, crunch it, crush it, grind it, chomp it — it’s your call. But I can guarantee that it will be an experience like never before.”
Both the Mojito Krushers are priced at Tk 215. Strawberry Smoothie sells at Tk 270, while one has to pay Tk 250 for enjoying the taste of Chareed Coffee and Tk 230 for Choco Lash.
