ILLUMINAKING BY FAIZ FAISAL


Foodgasm: McDonald's Ninja Wasabi Burger
Is the new McDonald's Ninja Wasabi Burger better than the classic Samurai Burger? Featuring a juicy Chicken Katsu patty and a surprisingly fiery Wasabi Shoyu sauce, this new seasonal item blew me away. Paired with the nostalgic Taro Pie and a Strawberry Matcha Deluxe Sundae featuring red bean mochi, here is my full review of McD's latest lineup and why I give this entire meal an 8/10!

Foodgasm: HaRoy
Tried the new Haroy branch to fix my Thai street food craving! As a huge Pulut Ayam fan, the fried chicken and fried shallots totally hit the spot, and the Khao Mok is super fragrant. It’s definitely on the pricier side, but the food is delicious and they even have unique sticky rice wraps. Here is my honest 6/10 review on the taste, vibe, and pricing.

Foodgasm: Ayam Goreng Mekdi Rasa Ori
Is the new McDonald's Ayam Goreng Mekdi Rasa Ori actually different from the old regular menu fried chicken? I tried the 2-piece meal and was blown away. Replacing the old black peppery taste with an amazingly rich, buttery flavor and an extra-crunchy batter, this new recipe might just be a 10/10. Here is my full review on why I might actually prefer Rasa Ori over Spicy now!

Foodgasm: Gepuklah
Is Gepuklah worth the insane queue? Founded by a food creator who spent months reviewing every Ayam Gepuk spot in Malaysia, Gepuklah finally opened its permanent doors on August 14th. Featuring boneless chicken and fragrant Nasi Lemak rice, it offers a unique twist on the classic dish. But does it actually taste like real Ayam Gepuk? Here is my honest review on the flavor, service, and why you might want to wait for the hype to die down!

Foodgasm: Buldak Habanero Lime
Is Samyang's Buldak Habanero Lime Ramen actually better in a packet or a bowl? After trying both with my friend Feyy—and topping our packet noodles with chicken nuggets, sunny-side-up eggs, and seaweed—I officially confirmed my "Bowl vs. Packet" theory. While this zesty, sour, and spicy combo remains my favorite Buldak flavor ever, the packet version packs twice the heat. Here is my full review and how to survive the spice!

Foodgasm: Buldak Swicy Ramen
Buldak's new Swicy flavour sounded like my dream ramen—sweet and spicy in one bowl. But after trying the bowl version, I was left wanting more. The flavours felt too subtle, though I've heard the packet version offers a much richer experience. Maybe it's worth a second chance?
