Customers and media personnel challenged themselves to devour as many spicy chickens as they could within eight minutes



Are you ready to indulge in the sizzling sensation of Lak Lak, where the bold flavours make taste buds go “cluck cluck” with delight? foodpanda Malaysia, one of Malaysia’s leading food and grocery delivery platforms, and SugarBun, joined forces to introduce the sizzling new Lak Lak Chicken, a spicy delight that will tantalise taste buds.

Lak Lak Chicken is a special variety of spicy fried chicken which cater to distinct Asian taste with its spiciness. The fresh chicken parts are marinated, seasoned and cooked in vegetable oil before they are coated with an exotic blend of super hot & spicy spices. Noted for its golden brown crust on the outside, the flesh is tender and flavourful and packed with a unique extra hot and spicy taste that tingles the tongue!

To celebrate the launch of the new offering as well as SugarBun’s fourth year in the panda pick programme, foodpanda hosted the Lak Lak Chicken Challenge at SugarBun Menara Hap Seng here today, where the lucky participants from the public and the media took on the fiery culinary dare.

panda pick is foodpanda’s selection of delectable vendors that are available for delivery ONLY on the foodpanda platform.
