Gogo Fried Chicken Batubulan, Sukawati

As I stumbled upon Gogo Fried Chicken Batubulan in Sukawati, I felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia wash over me. This local fried chicken takeaway is not just a place to grab a quick meal; it’s a portal to my childhood, reminiscent of my mother’s cooking and those cherished family vacations. The moment I took my first bite of their fried chicken, I was transported back to simpler times. The chicken is juicy, with a crispy skin that crackles delightfully with each bite, reminiscent of the beloved KFC but with a unique local twist that makes it truly special.

On a Saturday afternoon, I decided to indulge in their signature dish, paired with a refreshing Sosro fruit tea that was perfectly balanced—not too sweet, just right. The option to have it with rice adds a comforting touch, making it feel like a home-cooked meal. The prices are incredibly reasonable, with the chicken priced at just Rp11k and the fruit tea at Rp5k, making it an affordable treat for anyone looking to satisfy their cravings.

Finding the shop was a breeze, located on a busy street that beckons you in. I opted for a GrabFood order but couldn’t resist picking it up myself, eager to experience the atmosphere. The fried chicken was as delightful as I remembered—nice and juicy, a testament to their commitment to quality. It’s a local fast-food gem that deserves a spot on your culinary map.

However, a word of caution: the Google location can be a bit misleading. If you’re coming from Ubud, you’ll need to drive about a kilometer further until you spot the inviting sign for “Go Go Chicken” on the left side of the road. It’s a small detour for a big reward.

While some may argue that the chicken is a bit crumbly and the rice is just okay, the tea remains a highlight. Yes, it might be slightly pricier compared to the ACK across the street, but the experience and flavors are worth every penny. The chicken is delicious, crispy, and tender, leaving you savoring every last bite.

In the end, Gogo Fried Chicken Batubulan is more than just a meal; it’s a heartwarming experience that touches the soul. It’s a reminder of the joy of sharing food with loved ones and the simple pleasures that life has to offer. I left with a full stomach and a happy heart, already planning my next visit to relive those beautiful memories.
