“ Almost same taste for typical sundanesse restaurant ”
“ Ayam goreng is an Indonesian or Malaysian dish of chicken deep fried in coconut oil. Ayam goreng literally means "fried chicken" in Indonesian and Malay. Unlike Southern United States-style fried chicken, this Southeast Asian version does not have batter on it and is not coated in flour and is richer in spices. The spice mixture may vary among regions, but usually it consists of a combination of ground shallot, garlic, Indian bay leaves, turmeric, lemongrass, tamarind juice, candlenut, galangal, salt and sugar. The chicken pieces are soaked and marinated in spice mixture for some time prior to frying, in order for the chicken to absorb the spices. The marination process might include heating the chicken in ground spices to assist the spice absorbtion. Most often prior to deep frying, ayam goreng is already half-cooked with yellowish color tinted of turmeric. In Javanese, this process is called ungkep. The chicken is then deep fried in an ample amount of hot cooking oil, either palm or coconut oil. The chicken is well-fried until golden yellow. Some variant such as Javanese ayam goreng kremes might add the deep fried spiced flour as crispy granules. While in other recipes, this tasty granules is acquired from fried grated galangal or coconut (serundeng). Ayam goreng is usually served with steamed rice, sambal terasi (chili with shrimp paste) or sambal kecap (sliced chili and shallot in sweet soy sauce) as a dipping sauce or condiment and slices of cucumber and tomato for garnish. Fried tempeh and tofu might be added as side dishes. Rumah makan cukup enak, berada di pinggir jalan, difasilitasi dengan parkir yang luas. ”
