The recent Chikuro craze has caught the attention of Malaysian food lovers. The Indonesian snack, known for its long crispy chicken roll with creamy fillings, has reportedly become so popular that some Malaysian buyers purchased hundreds of portions from Indonesia to resell back home. Reports even mentioned jastip buyers taking around 300 to 500 portions, while some Malaysian consumers continued showing strong interest despite higher resale prices. (detikfood)

Chikuro’s appeal is easy to understand. It is crispy on the outside, soft and creamy inside, visually attractive, and practical to eat on the go. Its signature product comes in a long chicken roll format, with sizes reported between 18 cm, 25 cm, and 35 cm on Chikuro’s official menu. (Chikuro)
