This Friday, 16 October 2026, KFC \*SCAPE runs a one-day Gen B Buffet. S$25.95 buys 90 minutes of unlimited boneless chicken, and one diner can walk out with up to S$500 for eating Original Recipe (O.R.) Tenders. Both slots are this week, and tickets are sold only through KFC’s online merch store. Anyone tempted has a few days to decide how hungry they are.
The cash hook is the Zermaxx Challenge, which KFC says it built around a viral moment from competitive eater Zermatt Neo. It’s a KFC promotion from top to bottom, and the prize goes to one person only. At S$5 a tender, the 30-tender qualifying floor alone is worth S$150 to whoever wins.
90 Minutes, Six Sauces, Zero Bones
The Gen B Buffet has two sessions, 5pm to 6.30pm and 7pm to 8.30pm. Each ticket covers one person for 90 minutes of dine-in time in the slot they booked. Inside that window, O.R. Tenders, Chicken Bites, Whipped Potato and fountain drinks are all unlimited.
The sauce bar is where the fun starts. Next to the O.R. Gravy sit five sauces: the new Seoul Spicy, which KFC describes as gochujang blended with garlic aioli, the new Chipotle Honey Mustard, and the returning Flaming Hot, Cheezy Onion and Shhh Secret Grill. A bottomless supply of things to dunk in them turns dinner into a taste test you can run at your own pace.

According to KFC, the Tenders are tenderloin strips hand-breaded with Original Recipe seasoning, while the Bites are chunks of thigh meat in Hot & Crispy batter. Both are fried to order in store. “Gen B” is the campaign’s name for the crowd it’s courting. In KFC’s framing, that’s a generation defined by its preference for boneless chicken rather than by birth year.
The buffet has a few house rules worth knowing before checkout. It’s dine-in only, with no sharing or takeaway, and diners are asked to take only what they can finish. KFC reserves the right to refuse service if the buffet is misused, so smuggling tenders out in a tote bag is off the table.
The Zermaxx Maths
KFC credits the idea to Zermatt Neo, who it says once ate 100 KFC Tenders in 40 minutes. KFC points to his Instagram reel as the reference for the challenge.
The Zermaxx Challenge is opt-in and open only to Gen B Buffet ticket holders. Challengers eat as many O.R. Tenders as they can in one go. They need a minimum of 30 to qualify, and the count is capped at 100 within the buffet slot. The highest number eaten in the fastest time wins.
The winner takes S$5 per tender. At that rate, 40 tenders would pay S$200 and a full 100 pays S$500. The catch is plain: there’s one winner, and everyone else who tried leaves with a very full stomach and no cash.
For most diners, the buffet is the draw and the challenge is the entertainment. Unless you’ve trained for this, the best seat might be the table next to whoever has.
Is S$25.95 Worth It?
Past that dozenth tender, everything else is a bonus: drinks, Whipped Potato and the sauce bar are thrown in on top of the chicken.
Our pick is to book in a pair or bigger to unlock the discount. Office workers will find the 7pm slot the realistic one. The 5pm slot suits anyone who wants dinner done by 6.30pm and the rest of Friday night free. Tickets can’t be refunded or transferred, so choose the session carefully.
Speaking about that Harbourfront dry rave, Jaslyn Lam, KFC Singapore’s marketing and food-innovation director, said Gen Z “don’t just consume products, they consume experiences”. The Zermaxx Challenge takes that literally. It turns a creator’s video into a contest with a cash ladder, and it was clearly designed to be filmed. It follows a playbook familiar to anyone who caught Chick-fil-A’s three-day Singapore pop-up in 2024: make it short, make it an occasion, and let social media do the rest.
Can’t Make Friday?
The two new sauces have been at all KFC outlets since 30 September, except Singapore Zoo. They’re also available on KFC Delivery, GrabFood and foodpanda while stocks last. The easiest way in is the Double Dip Platter Meal at S$8.95. It comes with two O.R. Tenders, four Hot & Crispy Bites, medium fries, a regular Coke Zero Sugar and two dips.
The O.R. Gravy tub is a S$0.60 add-on for a limited time. To wash it all down, the new Ruby K-Fizz costs S$4.25 à la carte, or S$0.70 more as an upgrade from a regular Coke. KFC describes it as berry-like, with a creamy sweetness and a tangy finish.
