For a mere 48 HKD from KFC I got a wing, a breast, rice with mushrooms and gravy, crispy chips, a sweet egg tart, and some Pepsi

The temptations of the summer combos

it's huge

In fact, from my workplace, there's 2 KFCs in the vicinity (one to the left, and one to the right... each within 1 block)

Are they each full? Or is one more popular than the other?

I've only been to one of the two for a while because I've heard the other chain had a brief incident with COVID

however, the one I've been at was quite full last week but this week, it's quite empty (probably due to the re-introduction of cases, people are scared to go out)

...

when it is full, the line up for the food can take 30-40 mins in the most extreme (that's happened)

I kept believing that my order number would come up earlier; this proved to be unwise

.... What?

That's like, a normal bowl here. Only replace the rice with potatoes. That's not extravagantly unhealthy at all.

I was just sad there were no vegetables or fruit

That may have balanced it

I love egg tarts. When I go to Chinatown to get a haircut and groceries, I go to a small bakery and get an egg tart

The only instance I can think of this happening to me is some gas stations. In one road intersection, there are 3 gas stations at each corner.

If you’re familiar with 7/11, that sited is ubiquitous in Taiwan

In fact, there’s neighborhoods where there are 3-4 within walking distance

Whenever there's a 7/11, like, there's always a cop car. Why?

I don't know

Do they sell donuts?

It's common practice in the US for restaurants to give cops free shit/discounts(I think free coffee/sodas is a really common one, and discounts on meals. I once worked at a restaurant that didn't have an official policy, but de facto always comped uniformed officers' meals, except for extras like dessert/appetizers) to encourage them to hang around, on the assumption it keeps criminals away.
