      More like 2/3 chicken, 1/3 coating..

      "comprises of a mega 1.2kg of Gami’s famous Korean boneless chicken, mozzarella sticks, shoestring chips, rice cakes and of course an array of Gami’s famous sauces for you to dip everything into"

          yeah you always get the same responses 'but the overheads!', I agree, $58 is insane, theres too much money going somewhere and I thought the idea of specialisation was so we could get things cheaper than we produce ourselves. Australian food prices are arguably more expensive and worse than so many other places.

        • vlo on 26/04/2021 - 14:25
          +10

          Not saying $68 for 1.2kg of chicken is expensive or not but I'm so sick and tired of companies or organizations using charity to promote their products. This is just like when Woolworths increase the prices of their milk to help farmers. If you're really sincere about helping then just take money from your own pocket instead of using charity as an excuse to increase prices or sell products.

        • SF3 on 26/04/2021 - 21:44
          +3

          Also agree with what vlo said.

          This is OzB, if a business offers a great deal, that’s where we have buy in. If they are attaching their name to charity to gain sells, that’s where it is a business deal for advertising IMO.

          A business doesn’t need promo themselves this way, they should let their high quality product speak for themselves and sometimes a good deal to gain our attention. They can then donate from the goodness of their hearts, rather than attaching to a sale - ie conditional.

          We tried their Chicken at Whitford City, Hillarys WA, and found them ok if somewhat bland.

          First couple of pieces were good/different, then started to taste floury.. Don't really eat out but may try them again at some future point in time.

    • Kingfield on 26/04/2021 - 15:08

      If it's 1.2kg sounds like it's a filling meal for 4 people. Less than $20 per person eating out is generally a pretty reasonable price…. so I'd say it's worth it in this world.

    2kg of chicken wings or drumsticks are around $7 at Aldi. I don't really think it's a bargain per se. I enjoy their fried chicken, but they're not cheap nor can be considered value for money.

            Dehli Rocks does a great (big!!) Thali meal for 12 dollars, with unlimited roti if you eat in.

            I go to Them Vietnamese pretty often, its a bit more expensive (12-14 dollars) but the food is excellent and servings are big.

        • pokgai on 26/04/2021 - 19:54

          is dons dons still around ? I used to go one near melb central. I thibk it was like $6 for a chicken rice? how much is it now?

          • nigel deborah on 26/04/2021 - 20:03

            @pokgai: Still one at melbourne central, one near southern cross and one southbank too.

            Prices are 7-11 dollars depending on what you get. More on the menu than before, and IMO quality of the food has improved slightly too.

            The Don Don box ($10.30) is always great and heaps of food, I like the Sukiyaki Don ($7.8 I think ?) or the new Chicken Karaage (around $10).

      All you need to do is buy a some potatoes, rice cakes, a deep fryer, oil, some mozzarella and breading, thendebone the chicken, bread it and the mozzarella, cut up the potatoes, par boil them/fry them once, then fry everything else, do whatever is done to the rice cakes, prepare some sauces and present it all. Then wash everything up after finishing it.

      That a vaguely related product from the supermarket is cheaper than a cooked and served product in a restaurant should be a no brainer to anyone.

      No different to Qantas Points people keep chasing, its over valued if you don't fly business class. Better to get bank reward points for higher gift card payout

      • futureminime on 26/04/2021 - 13:41

        The issue with bank reward points is that if you're churning cards between banks, or you want to close the account due to annual fees, you lose the points. Qantas or virgin allow you to store the points eternally and transfer to family members if required (like if your Significant Other also has a credit card, you can combined points).

        In general I do the maths of 1 bank point = 1 flybuys point = 1 woolies point = 0.5c, Qantas points = 0.66c. If I use them for anything of better value then its all a bonus, but the general gift card redemption rates are pretty similar.

        Edit: Looks like you need to use auto rewards to get $0.66c on gift vouchers for qantas, at least for WISH. Still would be interested to hear if the bank point redemption is still around 0.5c per point.

          Better to get bank reward points for higher gift card payout

          You obviously cash out your points before closing the account

          Generally you also get bigger reward points bonuses and points ratios

          Banks look to be around 0.45 to 0.48 or so

          Points for flights aren't all that great once you take into account the high fuel surcharges and tax they like to add.

          Having look at Krisflyer and other companies, Qantas is one of the worse FF points system around

          Just looked at Qantas store its a 0.48 for the Wish Gift Card

    went there once and ended up being very disappointed. i'm not sure how good the quality was when it was solely based in melbourne but i'm guessing franchising and expanding to literally every vacant lot has caused the quality to fall dramatically (i think there's like 3 stores in the sydney cbd alone - central park, world square and market street).

      Yeah the boneless is a bit pricier because it's less effort and more work for them, so the $35 serving is a bit less than the whole boned pieces. Also Gami is one of the best Korean fried chicken chains.

    I've had it once but found it bland. It's supposed to be Korean Fried Chicken I think and there is better Korean Style Fried Chicken to be had in Nene Chicken (Macquarie Centre) and Korean Fried Chicken (The District, Chatswood). It's a lot of quantity is mainly the benefit here but if you want quantity go to Kentucky Fried Chicken (at least the regret is known for that one).

      Yeah the original you might find it bland but the chilli or soy and garlic are my go tos.
