Gesek Geprek
Tucked away in Ampang, Gesek Geprek is the spot for ayam gepuk/ geprek. Correct me if I am wrong but I think they lean more towards geprek style, given their crispy battered chicken. My colleague told me, “You must get their Set Special Tauhu Tempe!” So, here I am, twice within a week, and yes I love it.
