Apologies for the slightly blurry photo
It’s not super strong, but it’s there. You could certainly tone it down (or amp it up). I would probably be wary of it too if it was in everything, lol.
Well, not in everything, but mala-style food has really exploded here in the past 3-4 years, and very often when walking near any eatery I’ll get a whiff of that! Imagine if everywhere smelled like fried chicken.
Where are you located, if you don’t mind me asking? Yeah, I love fried chicken, but I’d def get sick of smelling it constantly.
Singapore. Mala has really taken off in the past several years. Every hawker centre, food court and mall will have one of such places.
