Today I'm trying Ayam Gepuk Top Global and it's in the Strand Mall, Sudah Mampus. This is the Ayam Gepuk Top Global, they've been asking us to try it, immediately I can tell ah their chilli got a lot of the chilli skin, it's gonna be very pekat the taste. They have three levels for spicy and you guess which one I took? Spiciest level. If the sambal don't work this whole dish will fail. Quite strong when the chilli got kicked, it's burning now. Your friend took the first bite to try the fried cabbage. I like the cool dish. Yeah cabbage ah, very nice man, the way they fry it. For a meat lover, I like this. Let's try out the chicken, outside is crispy but the meat looks dry. The skin has a nice fried flavour but the meat super dry and had little to no marination. Here's the tauhu, the tauhu doesn't taste fresh. Stinky citrusy smell, I think the tauhu basi already. After that I tried the chicken gizzard, good dark meat taste but dry cold way over cooked. I tried the thick sauce and it does add a bit of flavour. It's like oyster sauce, kecap manis. Can I get infinite refill for sambal and rice? But boleh refill, sambal dengan nasi. Plus one to this type of service especially if you have a big appetite this will help. Overall this is a 5.9 They call this ikan curly set but lele pun boleh. Wow jangan gejat maku! The skin is very crispy, the meat is very tender and it's so hot. Yeah the lele is nice. This also has cabbage but same as ayam penyeh raw and crispy. We both know the star here is ikan lele. It was cooked well, the skin was very crispy and the meat is super tender. Plus the sambal is good. I wouldn't say it's mind-blowingly good but it's good. Nothing else is special. The cabbage is just normal and the rice normal. So I'll give this one a 7. Auto damage 30 ringgit. See ke maha, see ke maha. Lensin take focus, stop it. Lensin take focus, stop it. What are you doing?
