| Ayam Pop Padang |
This chicken dish is a quite famous Padang culinary. It's a simple fried chicken, marinated with coconut water so it has a distinctive sweet and spicy flavor. My favourite place to have Ayam Pop is at Restoran Garuda Pondok Indah or Sederhana restaurant. However, I try to create one and it turns out very easy and yummy. So if you like Ayam Pop why don't you give it a try to make this?
