Foodgasm: Oriental Kopi - Ayam Gepuk
Does Oriental Kopi serve real Nasi Ayam Gepuk? I tried their take on this street food favorite, and while it looks the part, the sambal feels much more like a sambal goreng berlado in disguise. Similar to my review at Gepuklah, this feels like an iteration created for those who can't handle real spice. Here is my honest review on why true Ayam Gepuk lovers might want to look elsewhere!

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!
