However, the Asian-fusion menu item is only available to order via the app at 10 KFC restaurants in Newcastle, NSW, leaving the rest of Australia to miss out.
The 10 KFC stores in Newcastle offering the Zinger Bánh Mì are: Warners Bay, Jesmond, Kotara, Kooragang, Broadmeadow, Mayfield, Charlestown Square, Palais, Bennetts Green, and Wallsend Village.
According to a former KFC employee, Jesmond, about 9.5 km west of the Newcastle CBD, is known to be one of the busiest KFC restaurants in NSW.
The fast food giant has launched its own version of Bánh Mì, a classic Vietnamese baguette typically filled with pâté, mayo, thinly sliced pork cold cuts, pickled carrots and radish, cucumber, green onion, coriander, fresh chillies and seasoning.
Many wondered why the new menu item was only available to a small amount of selected stores, with suggesting: 'Newcastle is known to be the test bed for KFC so not surprised they have brought it here.'.
