[KFC Singapore](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-singapore) has once again managed to innovate on fried chicken with the launch of the new [Mac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crispy-mac-n-cheesy-wrap) 'N Cheese Kentaco.

The new Mac 'N Cheese Kentaco is a hybrid creation that consists of a fried chicken taco shell filled with a generous portion of the brand's creamy Mac 'N Cheese. More specifically, the exterior shell is made up of Hot & Crispy fried chicken, which is then filled with a scoop of mayo and Mac 'N Cheese that's made from a combination of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Beyond the limited-edition Mac 'N Cheese Kentaco, KFC Singapore is also offering new Golden Cheddar Wedges, which is a side dish of crispy potato wedges covered in cheddar seasoning and topped with cheese crumbs.
