Ethel Booba Slams KFC Alabang
ETHEL BOOBA – The TV personality and comedian expressed her frustration with a KFC branch in Northgate Alabang after ordering through the Grab delivery service.
She shared that the fried chicken she received was unusually small, extremely dry, and unappetizing, despite requesting specific parts such as two thighs, a wing, and a leg. She emphasized that the chicken felt hard and underwhelming, even though it was ordered early in the morning.
Booba criticized the restaurant for providing substandard portions through delivery, noting that customers cannot return food once it has been delivered, which she implied is unfair. The incident drew attention online, highlighting customer dissatisfaction with food quality at fast-food chains, especially for delivery services.
