Aloha, Tongue of Fury here with another great recommendation on where to eat in Penang. I know most people say the food at Gurney Drive is not great, but I stumbled upon something unique and it involves a lot of chicken.

This is M Tucky Fried Chicken, I think they blocked out the ‘c’ due to copyright reasons, but I’m not sure. I know its a cliche to have a name like Mc’something’ or ’something’tucky but I know this other place in Bali that serves the best burgers I’ve ever tasted, they are called McWilliams, with an upside down McDonalds sign, but don’t let the name fool you, the burgers are awesome!

Anyway, back to the review, M Tucky serves chicken, a whole lot of chicken: meat, sausage, nuggets, balls (not testicles),  skin and even bishop’s nose (for those of you who don’t know what a bishop’s nose is, it is actually a more polite way of saying chicken ass/bottom/butt/backside/rear/buns). 

 chicken!

The food is served in a somewhat Lok Lok-ish style, you choose what you want and the dude will re-fry the chicken for you so that it will be crunchy and warm when served. I decided to go for the chicken skin as I was already eating a crappy bowl of Prawn Noodles and a plate of Char Kuey Teow.

Now I know Chicken Skin is not actually Malaysian Food, but where else can you find a place that serves this? If anyone knows do drop us a note.

I paid 3 bucks for this interesting item, which I thought was quite pricey. The thing about chicken skin for me, once I start, I can’t stop, almost similar to the way I eat peanuts, kuaci, Miao Miao Cheese Rings and Loacker Wafers. The skin once crunchy and tasty and as I was biting away I can’t help but imagine how good this will go with a mug of beer (pub owners take note).

Close Up

It is a simple dish but boy was it a satisfying one. I felt like having more after I’ve finished, but decided agaisnt it knowing how detrimental it could be for my health.

Final Verdict (Poor/Fair/Good/Very Good/Excellent/Outstanding):
Taste: Excellent
Ambience: Very Good (Gurney drive is quite nice)
Price: Reasonable
Rating: 8/10

Ok, that’s all the time I have for now, till the next time, don’t burn those tongues with hot soup!
