KFC’s summer lineup features a bold cilantro-infused egg tart, a Thai green curry chicken rice bowl, and a new children’s meal bundled with extra playtime at Kiztopia.
Hong Kong, July 2026 – KFC is rolling out a wave of new menu items and promotions this summer, targeting everyone from young families to adventurous eaters. Starting this week, the fast-food chain introduces the K! Fun Kids Meal, a Thai Green Curry Chicken Cutlet Rice Bowl series, and the eye-catching Crispy Cilantro Egg Tart – a sweet-savoury pastry topped with fresh coriander and corn chip crumbs. Customers can also score a free bag of Doritos Cilantro Flavour Corn Chips when purchasing select egg tart combos.
New Kids’ Meal Comes with Kiztopia Bonus
KFC’s “K! Fun Kids Meal” is now available across Hong Kong and Macau outlets. The breakfast option, U1 Fun Morning Pack, includes a cheese chicken and egg bun paired with Qoo apple juice, starting at HK$20. For lunch and dinner, the U2 Fun Flavour Meal offers a choice of Chicken Royal Rice or Spicy Mushroom Rice, accompanied by sides like crispy potato chunks, sweet corn cup, or chicken bites, plus a Qoo drink, from HK$32.
Starting July 17, every purchase of the U2 meal comes with a coupon for an extra 30 minutes of playtime at Kiztopia or Jumptopia indoor playgrounds. Kiztopia members who use a special promo code when buying the U2 meal will also receive a free classic egg tart.
Thai Green Curry Chicken Rice Bowls Land July 16
KFC’s existing “Ken! Rice” line expands with two Thai Green Curry Chicken Cutlet Rice Bowls. The standard bowl meal is priced at HK$35 and includes a drink. For HK$41, the “Duo Chicken Cutlet” version piles on both a traditional home-style chicken cutlet and a spicy buffalo-style cutlet, offering double the protein and heat.
The Star: Crispy Cilantro Egg Tart
Perhaps the most talked-about launch is the Crispy Cilantro Egg Tart (HK$14.50 à la carte, HK$5 as a meal upgrade). The classic Portuguese-style tart is topped with fresh cilantro leaves and crushed Doritos Cilantro Flavour corn chips, creating a contrast of creamy custard, herbaceous punch, and crunchy texture.
Customers who buy a combo of three cilantro tarts plus three classic tarts, or a box of six cilantro tarts, will receive a free 102g bag of Doritos Cilantro Corn Chips while stocks last.
Additional Discounts and Details
- From July 16 to 29, shoppers who present a receipt for purchasing Doritos Cilantro Corn Chips at ParknShop or Wellcome supermarkets will get HK$4 off any single Crispy Cilantro Egg Tart.
- A 6-piece gift box of the cilantro tarts is available for HK$68.
- All offers are valid for dine-in and takeaway, excluding fast delivery (“KFC Delivery”). Participating outlets include all Hong Kong and Macau KFC restaurants except AsiaWorld-Expo, Stanley Plaza, Festival Walk, Kai Tak Retail Hub, and South Horizons Centre.
Summer Strategy: Playing to Both Kids and Foodie Trends
By pairing a children’s meal with a popular indoor playground brand, KFC taps into the summer holiday demand for family-friendly dining experiences. Simultaneously, the cilantro egg tart speaks to Hong Kong’s love for novelty flavours – a move that echoes earlier regional hits like cilantro noodles and cilantro lattes.
“This is a smart dual-audience play,” says a local food industry observer. “Parents get a convenient meal plus a playtime bonus, while younger diners get a shareable, Instagram-worthy treat.”
With the cilantro craze showing no signs of fading and family budgets under pressure, KFC’s summer menu offers affordable indulgence wrapped in limited-time exclusivity. Diners are advised to act quickly – the cilantro corn chip freebie and supermarket discounts end July 29, and quantities are limited.
For those eager to try the new items, KFC’s online ordering platform and app now list the full summer menu. Pair a Thai green curry bowl with a cilantro tart and a cold drink for a complete, budget-friendly feast under HK$60.
