Foodgasm: Tricky Chicken


Tricky Chicken

Uptown Damansara just welcomed a new fried chicken spot—Tricky Chicken, where vibrant colors meet retro American decor. If you’re in the mood for nostalgia and a chill dining experience, this place has got you covered. But does the food live up to the vibe? Let’s break it down.


The Ambiance: A Retro American Dream

Tricky Chicken is all about the aesthetics, from its lively color palette to its classic checkered floor and a vinyl collection adorning the walls. It feels like you’ve stepped into an American diner straight out of the 60s. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, making it perfect for a casual hangout or a throwback photoshoot session. I’ll admit, the vinyls were a nice touch, creating a visually interesting space that draws you in.



The Food: A Corny Highlight

On my plate? A dish called "special recipe" fried chicken (I’m sure there was a fancier name for it, but let’s just roll with that), accompanied by sides of spicy ramen, corn ribs, and fries. Here’s the thing—the chicken itself, while tasty, didn’t exactly knock my socks off. It was solid, but not something I’d write home about. The fries were your usual, and the spicy ramen? Decent, but nothing too special.


The real star, surprisingly, was the corn ribs. A crunchy, flavorful twist that added a bit of excitement to an otherwise standard meal. If you’re headed to Tricky Chicken, don’t skip these.



The Verdict: Vibes Over Food

Let’s be honest—Tricky Chicken seems to lean more on its aesthetic charm than its culinary innovation. The food is fine, but it doesn’t stand out from what you might get at any other chicken joint. That said, I haven’t tried their full menu, so there could be hidden gems waiting to be discovered. If you’re after some retro vibes and Instagram-worthy shots, this place is worth a visit. But if you’re searching for mind-blowing fried chicken, you might leave wanting more.


Final Rating: 5/10

I’d recommend Tricky Chicken to anyone who loves a good photo op and a decent meal to go along with it. For foodies looking for a standout fried chicken experience, though, this place might just be a stop along the way.
