I HAVE a reason to be excited. Kenny Roger’s Chicken & Pasta meal is back again and the three glorious flavours, beef bolognaise, tangy chicken and cheesy chicken, are sure to pique one’s interest.

When asked to do a food review for KRR, this was a pasta meal I was particularly looking forward to. You see, I had just started a gym regime and KRR is perfect for those who want to keep their waistline in check.

So why is Kenny Rogers Roasters a healthier alternative to the usual fried chicken? It’s in their philosophy of creating a wholesome nutritious meal. The chicken is grilled on a skewer or pit using the rotisserie way, resulting in chicken that healthier, less fattening whilst maximizing the retention of juices.

I had the opportunity to sink my teeth in the beef bolognaise spaghetti and quarter chicken in black pepper sauce, accompanied by the crisp garden salad as the side dish. The bolognaise pasta wonderfully stroked my taste buds with premium minced, diced carrots and chopped onions, nicely balance with the chopped celery. The pasta tasted fresh and isn't overly tangy or sweet.

The crisp garden salad came with the Thousand Island dressing and actually complimented the chicken better than I thought it would and I washed the whole thing down with some orange juice.

If you are an adventurous food lover, be sure to try the Tangy Chicken spaghetti. With a subtle hint of lemongrass, it’s an oriental experience by itself and sure to be a hit among pasta lovers.

For cheese lovers, the Cheezy Chicken is the pasta for you. With a thick cheesy sauce topped generously over the pasta, the result is delicious and will keep you coming back for more. All the pasta meals come with a side dish and a quarter rottiserie roasted chicken with a choice of original or black pepper sauce. Prized at RM17.90, this is one healthy meal that won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

Not only Kenny Rogers Roasters serves pasta without distorting them, they are also big on bringing joy and cheer to the less fortunate. For the third consecutive year, Kenny Rogers Roasters is proud to organize The Wishing Tree Project.

Through this Community Chest project, a Wishing Tree is set up in every Kenny Rogers Roasters restaurants throughout Malaysia. Patrons and the public are encouraged to pick a wish or fulfill as many wishes of these underprivileged children.

The KRR Wishing Tree project will be running from now to Dec 23 and the gifts will be presented to the orphans in a get-together in December just before Christmas.
