KFC has new limited-time Curry Sambal Zinger with prata
While KFC has faced fierce competition from other fast food brands over the years, one thing it almost always gets right is its exciting seasonal launches—and its latest Curry x Sambal series is proof of that. As Singapore gears up for its 61st National Day, KFC is tapping into one of the nation’s beloved culinary staples to spice up your next fried chicken feast.
17 Korean Fried Chicken In Singapore, Including Hawker And Halal Options
Available for a limited time from 8 July to 18 August 2026 at all outlets except Singapore Zoo, the Curry x Sambal series introduces three brand-new items inspired by Singapore’s multicultural food heritage. With Chinese-style curry, Malay-inspired sambal, and prata taking centre stage, the collection is a delicious celebration of local flavours.
The crowd-drawer has to be the KFC Curry x Sambal Zinger ($8.10 for a la carte, $9.90 for a meal). The Zinger fillet needs almost no introduction with its crunchy exterior, tender meat, and signature spicy kick, but this time it’s joined by a supporting cast with a distinctly local twist. Gone are the usual burger buns, replaced instead by crispy prata.
Think of it as KFC’s popular Double Down series, but with a more balanced take. Unlike the thick-cut fried chicken used there, the prata is much thinner, making the burger feel lighter by comparison. Although the prata is slightly on the tougher side, it still delivers a decent amount of crispness, while its buttery flavour adds another layer of richness.
Each “burger” also comes with a Curry Pour Tub, complete with a generous serving of thick curry gravy, along with a separate container of sambal. Besides the curry’s rich depth of flavour, we were pleasantly surprised to find tender potato chunks hidden within it, adding a welcome textural contrast. The burger is also generously slathered with sambal, which you should not underestimate—it packs quite a punch.
For the best of both worlds, opt for the KFC Curry x Sambal Chicken ($9.85 for a la carte, $10.90 for a meal), which comes with two pieces of its classic fried chicken and a piece of crispy prata. This is where the curry and sambal combination truly shines. We highly recommend pouring the sambal into the curry tub to create a rich, spicy dipping sauce that’s good enough to pour over or dip almost anything in.
If you are just after the prata, you can also order the 2pc Prata with Curry Sauce ($4.50) on its own.
Whenever those late-night cravings hit over the weekend, the Curry x Sambal Macaroni Bowl ($7.50 a la carte, $8.50 as a meal) has you covered. This hearty bowl features macaroni soaked in a rich curry-sambal blend, topped with three crispy Chicken Bites for an indulgent late-night option.
Do note that it’s only available during the promotional period from 9pm to 2am on Fridays, Saturdays, and the eve of public holidays, as well as from 9pm to 12am on Sundays and public holidays.
After trying the new offerings, I can confidently say this ranks among KFC’s best seasonal releases to date. Crucially, the curry gravy is served on the side, allowing full control over how much you add to the burger. We recommend adding it sparingly so the flavours don’t become overly cloying.
While it’s hard to compare the prata to the freshly made versions you will find at your neighbourhood stall, it offers a satisfyingly fun way to enjoy the dish. The crisp, flaky prata serves as a pair of crispy buns, bringing a unique twist to the classic fried chicken burger. Just be prepared to get your hands messy!
