KFC (Singapore) Has Tacos With Fried Chicken Shells

KFC Has Tacos With Fried Chicken Shells And It's Honestly Kind Of Genius



KFC continues to render the laws of typical food irrelevant. First, the brand made a sandwich with fried chicken for buns (ah, the Double Down...), recently it made chicken sandwich with donuts for buns, and now, at least in Singapore, it's innovating in a way we never saw coming: a taco with a fried chicken "shell."

Yes, KFC Singapore is truly living in 3020 and selling a deliciously unhinged item called the Kentaco. It's made up of a fried chicken shell that's filled with lettuce, tomatoes, and a mix of four different cheeses—Emmental, Romano, cheddar, and mozzarella. Basically it's a thing of beauty, and honestly I really wanna try it.

Since it was announced earlier this month, people have been flocking to KFC to give it a taste. So far the reviews have been pretty positive, though some are still confused by the concept, which, fair! One person raved that they "might be in love," while another conceded that it was "surprisingly not terrible." We'll take it!

This isn't the only amazing thing KFC Singapore has cooking up. According to its Instagram, it's also selling FRIED CHICKEN SKIN, which is a dream of dreams. I'm about to risk it all, pack my bags, and try this stuff for myself...

Australian paper prints blank pages to help tackle toilet paper shortage



Australian paper prints blank pages to help tackle toilet paper shortage


A shopper passes empty shelves usually stocked with toilet paper in a supermarket in Melbourne on March 5.

CNN)An Australian newspaper has printed an extra eight pages to be used as toilet paper after coronavirus fears prompted customers to bulk buy supplies, leaving some supermarket shelves bare.

In a bid to tackle the shortage, The NT News provided a practical -- if unconventional -- solution.
Australians living in the Northern Territories would have noticed on Thursday that eight pages in the paper had been left bare, except for watermarks and a cut-out guide edition.

"Run out of loo paper? The NT News cares," the newspaper read.

All sporting events in Italy -- including Serie A football matches -- will take place without fans present for at least the next month due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country, the Italian government announced Wednesday.

That will likely see games played in the Italian football league this weekend after the calendar was pushed back a week. Italy is the epicenter of Europe's coronavirus outbreak as more than 100 people have died and more than 3,000 have been infected with COVID-19.

Serie A: More games postponed over coronavirus
The Italian government issued a new decree on Wednesday evening, with measures it hopes will help contain the spread of the virus. All sporting events throughout the country must take place behind closed doors until April 3.

Schools and universities have been ordered to close until March 15. That also calls into question Italy's Six Nations rugby match against England in Rome on March 14. That match will either have to go ahead behind closed doors or be postponed. Italy's match against Ireland, which was scheduled for Saturday, had already been postponed.
