Pop Meals @ Central i-City is a standout family restaurant nestled in the vibrant Central i-City Shopping Centre of Shah Alam, Selangor. Specializing in expertly crafted chicken dishes, this cozy eatery offers a delightful culinary experience that perfectly balances local flavor with imaginative twists.

The menu is a celebration of succulent chicken, showcasing crowd-pleasers like the Salted Egg Buttermilk Chicken, where tender, crispy bites are enveloped in a rich, creamy salted egg coating that sings with savory comfort. For those craving a bit of heat and depth, the Salted Egg Buttermilk Spicy Tenders paired with steamed rice deliver a harmonious blend of spicy and creamy that's both addictive and satisfying.

First time trying, and a pleasant surprise, the quality is quite good. It's located on the lower ground in the Central I-City Mall. It's outlet is growing and even has its own app. They are also having a promotion, 3 of the popular meals are sold at RM7 only, with a iced drink included. Tried Salted Egg Buttermilk Chicken set, it's really not too bad. It's like the popcorn chicken.

I'm satisfied with the food and promotion however I'm charged for cutlery. Mean each time if I'm at office I need to spend extra money for that? Other place doesn't charge it
