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: 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.
