in food •  3 months ago

    Good Morning!

    Another cloudy morning here. Supposedly we will be expecting heavy rain this coming weekend. Let's see if that's gonna be correct or not. Weather predictions on my phone are often incorrect. I'm looking at you, Mr. Google 🤣

    Do you ever wonder or think that it's nice to have such job, weather predicting, I mean. You give incorrect prediction(s), and you still get to keep the job? Oohh...maybe not so much if it's ending up to be a catastrophe? Idk 🙉🙊🙈 I know nothing, John Snow!

    For today's recipe share, in Indonesia this dish to some is known as Ayam Mentega, while to others as Ayam Kecap. It is a nice butter chicken 😍
