Crispy Chicken Steak

Hari Minggu! Waktunys semua berkumpul di rumah mama dan saatnya banyak makanan di meja makan. Nah, ada yang sedikit berbeda weekend kali ini karena di meja makan bukan sekedar makanan yang biasa disajikan saja yang tampak, tapi ada banyak sekali oleh-oleh bawaan mama dari acara hangoutnya hehe

Sunday is when everyone gather at mom's place and this is the day of the week when we normally have tons of different types of food on our table. This Sunday is that kind of Sunday especially because mom just got back home from her "hangout" with friends day and she brought back a lot of foods.

Mama bawa banyak sekali buah-buahan yang sudah lama saya tidak makan seperti sawo contohnya. Senang sekali bisa makan banyak buah weekend ini tapi ya tetap ada saja yang menjengkelkan haha karena di meja ada setumpuk peuteuy alias pete. Beuhhh udah ketebak banget deh tuh pete bakal jadi menu makan siang huahaha. Ngga tahan sama baunya, saya pusing duluan pas petenya disiangin untuk jadi lalapan siang ini.

I enjoyed the fruits she brought home but I had to feel a little bit annoyed by the fact that she also brought home a bunch of stinky beans hahaha. As you probably could have guessed, she made those stinky, I have to repeat stinky, yes stinky beans as the lunch menu and I literally almost fainted just from breathing the smelly poluted air because of those tiny green "creatures" hahaha.

Yang suka makan pete, mangga bin monggo bin silahkan lah ya menikmati berlian hijau kalian itu haha, saya yang ngga bisa makan pete mau bikin piring saya kelihatan hijau juga tapi dengan cara saya sendiri. Kira-kira seperti ini nih piring saya, lumayan kan yaaa sama-sama menghijau seperti piring berhias pete yang mereka punya haha cuma yang ini sih ngga pake bau.Yang mau coba bikin steak ayam seperti saya, silahkan check out resepnya di bawah ini.

Everyone seemed to be happy about it but I really had to be my own saviour (lol exaggerated much), so I decided to make a different menu for myself. I also wanted to decorate my plate green just like theirs but mine was definitely not smelly like theirs.  So, here it is, the picture of my lunch plate, the only plate without stinky beans this Sunday. If you'd like to try the recipe for this crispy chicken steak, well... check it out!
