Hungry like a Lion?

Zamba Spicy Winglets, Big Boss Burger, Chips

This particular phrase resonates with so many of us who in the mid or early 2000s heard it roaring across our radio stations. At the time, it was a brand on the move and a brand very intentional about making a mark.

They created one of those taglines that stay with you, simply unforgettable. We had the opportunity to visit the Hungry Lion branch at the new ultra uber and popular; ‘The Fields Mall’. Nicely positioned away from what would seem is the food court, and just towards the end of the mall where there is a walkway that makes a passage for commuters to go to-and-fro the mall via the taxi rank.

Strategically placed was my thought. After a long day of teaching Arts & Crafts followed by collecting my boys from school, the three of us connected with their dad to go to the mall. Because we had to make a trip home first, we only then got to the outlet around 4pm. Needless to say, we were all ‘hungry like a lion’. They have a predominantly fried Chicken menu with burgers and an assortment of ice cream and as of recent an addition of Spicy Zamba Winglets. We ordered the Party Combo (one of the daily specials), it’s essentially a family meal with eight chicken pieces, two regular chips, two sides of coleslaw, seven spicy winglets and a 2litre Pepsi.
