Ayam Masak Merah


What can I say about this dish? Simple to cook, nothing complicated and taste wholesomely wonderful!! ^.^ I never resist spicy food, the hotter the better hehehe...But this particular dish is more sweet with touch of spiciness. Maybe I'm used to having spicy stuff, I do not find it spicy at all hahaha at least the heat is acceptable for my kids >.<

Ayam masak merah is one of my hot favorites. It goes really well with your nasi goreng. Love the salsa too!

I like your pairing of the spicy chicken with the light and soury salsa - great idea.
