Moment Canadian eats first ever £2 meal from London chicken shop – and says he feels like he’s in Top Boy
A Canadian man has revealed he felt ‘like he’s in Top Boy’ after visiting a chicken shop in London for the first time – before sharing his surprise at the bargain price of a ‘delicious meal’ in the capital.
Matt Giffen, from Toronto, got to work TikTok to document his visit to the popular chain Morley’s – where he picked up hot wings and chips for £2.
The influencer, who often shares videos of culture shocks he experienced while dating his British girlfriend, said he was “living his Top Boy dream.”
Standing just outside Morley’s, he explained: ‘I’ve seen way too much Top Boy in my time not to come to one of these while I’m in London, let’s go!’
Overwhelmed by the menu options shown on a flashing red and white display, he told his 60,000 fans, “Guys, I don’t know what to get,” as he walked them through his first-ever chicken shopping experience.
What is considered a night out for many has become an everyday staple for some – but when a Canadian man tried the food at the chicken shop, ‘he felt like he was in the hit Netflix series Top Boy’

Ultimately, Matt decided to indulge in the classic meal after a night out: chicken and chips, although fans were unimpressed when he asked for ‘one chicken and a fry’, and left without a drink, claiming it was included in the price was included. .
He joked, “I feel like I’m in a movie here, bro. I’m about to meet Sully,” he joked, referring to the character from the hit Netflix drama.
Satisfied with his choice, he went home to show his girlfriend that he had ‘secured the bag’.
To show off his character, Matt even wore his ‘new roadman jacket’ – a black puffer as worn by many of the Top Boy gangsters.
He pointed his camera at his girlfriend, looking visibly shocked, and exclaimed: “All this for just £2 honey, can you believe that?!” to which his unfazed British girlfriend replied ‘yes’.
The influencer ‘couldn’t forget his cheeky Nando’s’ as he grabbed Nando’s hot Peri Peri sauce and poured some onto the side of his plate before digging into the chips which he ‘really liked’.
Referring to the smoke detector that went off in the store earlier in the video, Matt joked, “Let’s try the chicken, the place was almost on fire so this should be good!”
Grinning at the success of his ‘Top Boy’ meal so far, he eagerly bit into his piece of chicken.
The stunned Canadian rated the greasy meal so highly that he said: ‘Oh my God, it looks like KFC skin, why is this so good?!’ as I drooled over this £2 find.
His girlfriend explained: “There’s a reason why all the Top Boys eat there,” to which her partner confessed: “Different then the Sunday Roast, you were on fire!’

Brits were hysterical after seeing this Canadian man try chicken shop food for the first time, and one even thought he’d achieved the South London aesthetic he set out to emulate
More than a thousand people took to the video sharing platform to comment on his antics, with some unable to get over his use of the word ‘fry’ instead of ‘chips’ and others shocked by his command, saying: ‘Who’s gonna and only gets ONE piece of chicken?’
Another aggravated user urged the Canadian: “Please don’t ever say ‘fry’ again… that curdled my blood.”
People were left puzzled by Matt’s adoption of the South London ‘roadman’ aesthetic and asked: ‘Wait, why do you look so South London now?’
Another user commented: ‘I love how you associate Top Boy with a chicken shop,’ while one told Matt that ‘the drink was actually included in the price’, to which he replied: ‘You’re lying.’
This comes after the TikToker tried the nation’s favorite meal last month: a Sunday roast. He revealed how he was left very impressed after tasting the dinner for the very first time.
