The authorities from Kementerian Dagangan Dalam Negeri Dan Hal Ehwal Penguna (KPDHNEP) also visited their outlets for further investigations and confirmed that the allegation is untrue.

We are not a big fan of OldTown White Coffee but we dine in whenever we flew in KLIA (as they are one OLDTown White coffee outlet in Departure) and hence we tasted the OldTown White Coffee BBQ Chicken in the past.

From a glance the BBQ Chicken looks like a BBQ pork or char siew but it is chicken. The red dye makes the outer layer red but this is never a pork. For those who mistaken it as pork is common but accusing it as pork is another thing.

We won’t be commenting much as there is already statement from JAKIM and the authorities are verifying on the BBQ Chicken.
