🍗 My Weekly Obsession: Pusanika’s Crispy Chicken Chop

Hey everyone! 👋 Let’s talk about the real MVP of my UKM campus meals—Pusanika’s crispy chicken chop. This dish has become my go-to post-class treat, and I’m not even sorry that I hit up the stall twice a week without fail.

If you’re a UKM student, you know Pusanika is the spot to be when hunger strikes between lectures. The food court is always buzzing with students grabbing quick bites, but my eyes are locked on that one chicken chop stall as soon as I walk in. I usually swing by right after my morning classes—no backpack dragging me down, no rush to get to the next lecture, just me and my mission for crispy, juicy goodness.

The magic of this chicken chop? It’s all in the details. The chicken is coated in a thin, crispy batter that shatters with every bite, and the inside is tender and juicy, never dry. They fry it to golden perfection, then douse it in a tangy black pepper sauce that’s just spicy enough to give it a kick. It comes with a side of fluffy white rice and a pile of crisp coleslaw, which cuts through the richness of the chicken perfectly.

I’ve tried other chicken chops around campus, but none compare to Pusanika’s. The portion is huge—big enough to keep me full through my afternoon tutorials—and the price is totally student-friendly. Plus, the auntie who runs the stall recognizes me now; she even gives me an extra drizzle of sauce sometimes and asks, “Back again this week, dear?” (Spoiler: The answer is always yes.)

My friends tease me for being a creature of habit, but they get it when they take a bite of my chicken chop. Half the time, they end up stealing a few pieces of the crispy batter before I can even dig in properly. We’ll sit at the Pusanika tables, chatting about our classes while I savor every mouthful, and it’s become one of my favorite small campus rituals.

Whether I’m celebrating a good quiz grade or just need a pick-me-up after a tough lecture, Pusanika’s chicken chop never lets me down. It’s not just food—it’s my weekly dose of comfort, wrapped in crispy batter and black pepper sauce.

If you haven’t tried it yet, what are you waiting for? Head to Pusanika right after your next class—your taste buds will thank you. Trust me, you’ll be joining my twice-a-week club in no time. 😉
