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?

Foodgasm: OREO X BTS
The BTS x Oreo Hotteok flavour surprised me in the best way. Inspired by the famous Korean street snack, it offers a balanced brown sugar pancake flavour that easily ranks among my favourite Oreo collaborations. It still doesn't beat the iconic Lady Gaga Chromatica Oreo, but it's a very close second.

Foodgasm: McDonald's Triple Kick Burger
McDonald’s is kicking off World Cup 2026 with the new Triple Kick Burger! ⚽️🍔 This "hat-trick" of fresh, caramelized, and crispy onions sounds like a win, but is it a flavor overload? I’m diving into why the beef got lost in the mix, but why the Salted Pineapple McFizz is the real MVP of this meal. 🍍🥤 Huge portions, but does the taste deliver? Check out my full verdict on this limited-time FIFA World Cup Meal! #McDMalaysia #WorldCup2026 #TripleKickBurger #FoodReview

Foodgasm: Burger Mekdi
Did I just manifest this? McDonald’s Malaysia is tackling local street food culture with their new limited-time Burger Mekdi! Packed with shredded cabbage, mayo, and chili sauce, it tries to capture that legendary late-night roadside burger gerai vibe. Does it actually live up to the original, or does it fall short? Here is my honest taste test review on the flavours, the surprisingly small size, and why street burgers still reign supreme.

Foodgasm: DOPA
After months of watching viral videos, I finally tried DOPA Donut's new TTDI outlet! Living in Damansara Intan made their Shah Alam and Bangi branches too far for a quick craving. I grabbed their classic Donut Susu set (RM11 for 3 huge pieces)—a total steal! The packaging is cute, the dough is incredibly fluffy, and the milk coating is delicious. It is a definite must-try, and I can't wait to go back for the chocolate and red velvet flavours. Have you tried it yet?
