There are food promotions that come and go quietly, and then there are deals that create a buzz so strong that everyone wants in. Gindaco Malaysia has just launched one of those irresistible promotions, and it is quickly becoming the talk of town. For those who love Japanese street food, this is a deal that cannot be ignored. Starting from 11 September 2025 onward, Gindaco is rolling out their RM1 Takoyaki Thursdays Promotion, available exclusively at selected outlets: AEON Shah Alam, Publika, Pavilion KL, and 1 Utama.
For many Malaysians, Thursdays might usually feel like an in-between day—neither the excitement of Friday nor the busyness of early weekdays. But with this promotion, Thursdays are set to become everyone’s favourite day of the week. Imagine sinking your teeth into piping hot takoyaki, those golden-brown octopus balls that are crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, for just RM1. It is a simple treat, but it carries the kind of joy that turns an ordinary afternoon into something memorable.
Now, why should one make the effort to head over to Gindaco on a Thursday afternoon? Let’s break it down.
1. A Rare RM1 Deal Worth Talking About
It is not every day that one finds freshly made, authentic Japanese takoyaki for RM1. Normally, takoyaki is considered a treat that costs a little more, and rightfully so—it takes skill, time, and fresh ingredients to make it right. Gindaco, being Japan’s No.1 takoyaki brand, is known for their consistency and quality. To be able to savour that for only RM1 is more than just a bargain—it is practically a giveaway. For students, office workers, and families alike, this deal stretches the value of every ringgit while delivering genuine satisfaction.
2. Perfect for Group Outings
Food always tastes better when shared. With Gindaco’s RM1 deal, Thursdays are now the perfect excuse to round up a few friends or colleagues for a mid-day treat. Picture an afternoon where laughter is paired with trays of takoyaki, served steaming hot and drizzled with savoury sauce, mayonnaise, and topped with bonito flakes that dance with the heat. For just a handful of ringgit, everyone can enjoy multiple servings without burning a hole in their wallets.
3. A Delicious Break in the Day
Running errands, studying, or working can make Thursdays drag on endlessly. Gindaco’s timing of 12PM to 4PM is clever—it covers lunchtime and that awkward window before dinner when people often crave a little something to keep them going. A quick stop at one of the participating outlets could be exactly what one needs to recharge and keep spirits high through the rest of the day.
4. A Taste of Japan Without Travelling Abroad
Not everyone has the luxury of hopping on a plane to Japan, but Gindaco has brought authentic Japanese flavours right to Malaysia. The brand has been a staple in Japan for decades, and their takoyaki has been enjoyed by millions worldwide. This promotion allows Malaysians to enjoy the same taste that travellers rave about when they visit Japan, without spending more than RM1 per piece.
5. Location Accessibility
One of the highlights of this promotion is that it is spread across multiple prime locations:
-
AEON Shah Alam for those in Selangor looking for a family-friendly shopping destination.
-
Publika in Solaris Dutamas, a trendy spot that appeals to urban foodies.
-
Pavilion KL, right in the heart of Bukit Bintang, perfect for shoppers and tourists.
-
1 Utama, one of the largest shopping malls in Malaysia, where food adventures are endless.
No matter which outlet one chooses, the experience promises to be convenient and rewarding.
6. Making Thursdays Special
Life can often feel like a blur of responsibilities, deadlines, and routines. Having something to look forward to weekly can truly brighten things up. With Gindaco’s RM1 Takoyaki Thursdays, it becomes easier to mark the calendar, set an alarm, and look forward to that small but joyful moment every week. It is not just about saving money, but also about creating a ritual of enjoyment.
7. Social Media Worthy
Let’s not ignore the fact that takoyaki makes for great food photography. The golden exterior, the drizzle of sauce, and the dancing bonito flakes are just waiting to be captured. For those who love sharing food adventures online, this deal is an easy way to create content while also enjoying something delicious. Tagging friends, sharing stories, or even introducing someone new to Gindaco could turn a casual Thursday into something fun and memorable.
Why Malaysians Should Not Miss Out
At its core, this promotion is about making something special accessible to more people. With rising costs of living, everyone appreciates when a beloved brand steps up to give more value to their customers. Gindaco has struck the right balance—maintaining their signature taste and quality while offering it at a price so low that it feels like a gift.
This is not a promotion to hesitate about. Because it is offered weekly, it is a chance to plan and return regularly, whether one wants to treat themselves solo or make it a recurring social activity with friends. For students on a budget, it is an affordable indulgence. For office workers, it is an ideal afternoon pick-me-up. For families, it is an outing idea that is light on the wallet yet high on enjoyment.
So, set those reminders, spread the word, and turn Thursdays into “Tako-days.” With Gindaco’s RM1 Takoyaki Thursdays, one simple decision can turn a regular weekday into something extraordinary.
