KFC Large Poster


I'd received this nice poster from the helpful restaurant manager in the afternoon of March 27, 2009.

The KFC restaurant inside Yew Tee Point will be opened for business on March 31.

This is the real stuff, my first ever KFC poster in my poster collection after all these doggone years.

Give me a piece of drumstick and a piece of thighcut for lunch anytime to replenish my strength and energy for the day.
