【盐酥鸡】Taiwanese popcorn chicken

 

前不久我家附近开了一家米线馆，就去尝尝鲜，吃饭的时候被告知如果给他们家在谷歌上留个评语，就可以免费获得一份盐酥鸡。

想着店子比较新，就上网留了个言。后来随餐送的盐酥鸡味道比较咸，也不是在台湾时吃的盐酥鸡口味。虽然盐酥鸡在台湾本土做法调味也各有不同，但是这家米线店做的盐酥鸡对我而言只能叫做炸鸡块。

回家后我就一直想着自己做一次盐酥鸡，这几天刚好家里有鸡腿肉，就来做个好吃的盐酥鸡吧！

A restaurant recently opened near my home, so I went to try it out.  As I was ordering, I was told by the waitress that if I leave a review for the restaurant on Google, the restaurant will serve a plate of Taiwanese popcord chicken for free.

So I left a review online and get served a small plate of popcorn chicken. The popcorn chicken that came with my meal was rather salty, and tasted nothing like the popcorn chicken I'd had in Taiwan. 

Since I've been wanting to make popcorn chicken at home. And I happened to have some chicken thighs at home, so I decided to make some delicious popcorn chicken at home!

【仁当咖喱】Beef Rendang / Rendang Daging

 

这道印尼/马来西亚风味的仁当牛肉咖喱曾被某杂志评为世上最美味的食物，也是我做过的味道最丰富的菜之一，其实这道菜做了很多很多次，但是一直都没记录食谱，主要是因为步骤有点长，所以就懒得写。

这道咖喱最主要的除了香料之外，还有火候。肉类、香料和椰浆经过长时间慢火烹煮，逐渐浓缩成浓郁的酱汁，软烂的牛肉在浓郁的酱汁包裹之下真是人间美味。

This Indonesian/Malaysian-style beef rendang curry was once voted the world's most delicious food and is one of the most flavorful dishes I've ever made.

The keys to making a good rendang is of course the spices and the long simmering time. The meat, spices, and coconut milk are slowly cooked and concentrated into a rich flavor curry sauce that coats the tender beef. It is truly a beautiful orchestra of different flavors.
