The classic deliciousness of Top Notch Fried Chicken features a soft texture and fresh meat, paired with sweet potato fries and sweet buns, making it a must-try for repeat customers. The inside of the Gua Gua Bao is filled with tasty sticky rice, and the sweet bun has raisins that enhance the flavor.
The restaurant has a nostalgic atmosphere, with display windows showcasing cute dolls that evoke a sense of the brand's history and uniqueness.
The ordering method is to queue at the counter, with various payment options available and no service charge. The overall service experience is quite convenient.
Location: Da’an District, Taipei City
A representative of Taiwan in the fast food industry!
The products all have unique local Taiwanese characteristics,
It has a feeling somewhat like a Taiwanese KFC. 🤣🤣🤣
🌟 Guagua Bun
I often feel that the outer skin is a bit hard when I eat it,
but the interior is delicious oil rice with just the right amount of salty flavor.
There are two toothpicks on the side that should be removed before eating.
If children are eating, special care is needed.
What I had this time wasn't freshly cooked,
the temperature wasn't hot, which is a bit of a pity.
🌟 Sweet Bun
For me, the sweet bun is somewhat like a fried dumpling,
inside is a sweet filling.
Besides the sauce, the filling also has raisins,
which can add texture,
but some people don’t like it, so it depends on personal preference.
It's a place where you might not know what to eat,
a spot to grab a small bite if you're in the mood,
no need for a special visit.
🚩 Traditional Thin-Crust Fried Chicken with 50 Years of Good Taste
T.K.K., founded in 1974, opened the Zhongxiao branch in Taipei's East District in 1983. After 30 years of operation, they moved due to a rent increase, but reopened next door to the original location in 2016. The Zhongxiao store is the first to collaborate with its sub-brand, Kung Fu Tea from the USA. Currently, for their 50th anniversary, they have a collaboration with The Powerpuff Girls, featuring cute dolls and merchandise in the display window.
The ordering process involves queuing at the counter to place orders. Both cash and multiple payment methods are accepted, with e-invoices available but no service charges.
Today, I didn't order a set meal from the menu but used a Citibank discount voucher worth $299. The combo consisted of 2 pieces of original fried chicken, an original chicken leg, and 2 spicy chicken wings. Additionally, it included a sweet bun, sweet potato fries, and 2 drinks.
The size of the fried chicken pieces is standard, not small. The chicken is traditionally fried with a thin flour coating after marinating, resulting in a soft texture and juicy meat that keeps you wanting more. The spicy wings are quite spicy but still delicious, though the wing meat is slightly tougher. The sweet potato fries are substantial without needing extra seasoning, providing a very filling experience. The sweet bun (compared to the T.K.K. bun, I prefer the sweet bun) is small and easy to eat without guilt. The drinks were Kung Fu green tea and oolong tea without sugar; they weren't bitter but not particularly outstanding.
T.K.K.'s fried chicken is one of the few where I don't peel off the fried skin before eating, but as I get older, my stomach still protests the next day 😂 It's satisfying to eat but best enjoyed occasionally.
