KFC Philippines Debuts Burger With a Cheese-topped Bun

In what sounds like a humorous cultural faux pas, KFC locations in the Philippines have just launched what they call a ‘Cheese Top Burger.’ You’re reading correctly, this chicken patty burger has a bun topped with a slice of melted cheese — because…well, just because.
The burger — which should be classified more correctly as a sandwich — features an “Original Recipe” chicken patty, garlic parmesan dressing and the soon-to-be-infamous bun topped with a slice of melted cheese. Burger blog A Hamburger Today reminds the world that KFC in Malaysia already sells a cheese-topped bun breakfast sandwich called the Cheesy Egg Bun.
This may not be a sandwich with fried chicken as the buns, but we’re still baffled by the Cheese Top Burger’s existence. Almost as baffled as the actors in the commercial for it:
