Gatao Fried Chicken - Mount Austin — Restaurant in Johor

Was intrigued by the vicinity heavy Taiwan influence so decided to try my luck on some Taiwan 鸡排。 chance upon this shop which had an interesting concept and shop name, decided to give it a try since it pride itself as local.

service crew was professional, young chap took my order and proceeded to prepare.

Food : it was my bad, I chose the plum seasoning which kind of counterbalance the flavor of the fried chicken. The sweet overpower the saltiness which gave it a weird taste profile. The fillet had a stale oil smell, not sure why.

Drink : the nice drink crew helped me kept the sugar level to a minimum. I thought the drink was well crafted. Took the milk tea.

Shop : they have some hilarious commercials , in house made , you can entertain yourself while waiting for the fried chicken. The cartoons were well made , most likely from the angry bird game concept.

I think this shop have great potential if the quality of the food and the management could look into improving food preparation and taste...

I would give 4.5 stars for their drinks, apparently to me their drink is awesome and nicer than their food. I order a peach tea while my friend ordered a lemon tea. It's very worth the price for 8rm at 700cc, definitely more worth than other tea chains. The peach tea is very refreshing and it's doesn't like the pure usual syrup which mostly you get. This tea has its own unique flavour which tasted more of a high end quality, so as the lemon tea. Food wise I would say is slightly above average for the fried chicken(spicy). Taste good however wouldn't say it's the best. If I would come back again would definitely be for the drinks instead! The taiwan cheese...

Chanced upon this Taiwanese eatery in the pool of restaurants in Mount Austin and I’m glad I chose this!

I was served this small cup of Winter Melon Tea the moment I sat down, and this amazing set satisfied both my carbs + fried food craving!!! It’s also super value for money, only RM18++ for this set!

The sides: pickled cucumber, stir-fried cabbage and fried sweet potato cake were also simple yet yummy!

Thank you Yen for your...
