POPEYES

Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits (sometimes named Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen or Popeyes Chicken & Seafood; often referred to as just Popeyes) is a chain of fried chicken fast food restaurants, owned since 1993 by the Atlanta-based AFC Enterprises (originally America's Favorite Chicken Company). According to a company press release dated June 29, 2007, Popeyes is the second-largest "quick-service chicken restaurant group, measured by number of units", with more than 1,800 restaurants in more than 40 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 20 countries worldwide including Turkey, China, Hong Kong, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Singapore, Canada, Jamaica, Mexico, Trinidad and Panama. About thirty locations are company-owned, the rest franchised.

HISTORY
Popeyes Mighty Good Fried Chicken first opened in Arabi, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, in 1972 as "Popeye Family Fried Chicken", owned by Al Copeland. As the company's official history states, they sold "traditional mild fried chicken [but] business was slow, and the chicken team realized they'd have to sell a spicier alternative to their standard chicken recipe if they wanted to impress flavor-seeking New Orleanians.


NAME
Copeland claimed he named the stores after the fictional detective Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle in the movie The French Connection and not the comic character Popeye the Sailor. Copeland would claim facetiously that he was "too poor" to afford an apostrophe. Despite the close relation to the comic character, Copeland was able to successfully register the name Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits in 1997. The chain later acquired rights to use Popeye the Sailor for marketing. The company's early brand became deeply tied to the comic character with its sponsorship of the "Popeye & Pals" children's show in New Orleans, and the character appeared on items from packaging to racing boats.

PRODUCTS
Popeyes serves chicken products in mild, and spicy flavors. Popeyes offers sides such as Cajun fries, mashed potatoes, and Cajun rice in regular and large sizes. All combo meals come with a biscuit.

昨天跑去POPEYES了～ >//////< 好奇地走入餐館，滿意地走出來。 ^^

這是menu。。。看到這樣的menu難免讓人想起KFC，也很容易讓人跟KFC相比。。首先，看看價錢。。。跟KFC差不多。不過，popeyes的選擇好像比較多哦～！這里的主餐不止有雞肉，也有魚肉哦～！不想吃雞肉的人可選擇魚肉 （像我。。呵呵）


登登～



這是chicken combo - 3pcs chicken

這是seafood combo - 2pcs fish

在看了一些資料后，才知道這是餅干來的 >///< 這個就贊了～！外皮酥脆，內陷松軟。弄到我不懂它到底是面包還是餅干。。。>////< 小叉子

mashed potatoes 和 Coleslaw （我們稱salad）

這個mashed potatoes，贊！有點辣味的，它的醬汁還拌入一些料。

Coleslaw也很贊～！脆脆的，新鮮～！

這不叫French Fries, 是Cajun Fries。。。至于為什么叫Cajun Fries，我還不懂。應該是它的recipe吧？這個Cajun Fried也很好吃，好像直接從potato削出來的（因為還看到一些未削掉的皮），應該有粘flour才炸的（因為在這個cajun fried上看到有一層外皮）,應該有放類似黑胡椒的香料（？在cajun fried上也看到一點點黑色的東西）。Cajun Fried好吃～！

嗯，大概是這樣吧。或許我太大驚小怪，popeyes對我來講還是新的東西。。

如果wangsa walk沒有開這間分店，我看我不懂幾時才懂這個品牌的存在。。 >///<
