[KFC Singapore](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/turkey-baconized-zinger) is pushing the limits of fast food with the debut of its new Mozzarella Zinger Double Down and Sour Cream & Onion Fries.

For those unfamiliar, KFC's iconic Double Down sandwich is made with two fried chicken fillets instead of the usual burger bun. The new Mozzarella Zinger Double Down takes this concept to the extreme by putting a [mozzarella cheese patty](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-leleh-burger) doused with a tangy tomato basil sauce between two spicy Zinger chicken fillets.

The behemoth of a sandwich is joined by the new Sour Cream & Onion Fries. This zesty side dish combines KFC's crispy, golden French fries with a packet of [tangy sour cream and onion seasoning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dirty-loaded-fries). The fries are also served with a side of sour cream and onion sauce for dipping.
