Merhaba From Türkiye 👋
First, I'd like to thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you can come back, again and again, to check up on anything beyond Indonesian or Turkish food or something sweets you might love. Your comments and emails brighten my days and make this simple blog thing worthwhile 😍💛
My today post is one of the famous İndonesian cuisine called Ayam bakar kecap. Ayam bakar literally means grilled chicken, kecap is sweet soy sauce. This sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) is one of the staple condiments in İndonesian cuisine especially in javanese cuisine. Traditionally the chicken grilled over charcoal and brushed with spiced kecap manis during the grilling process which gives more intense flavour.
In Java, ayam bakar usually tastes rather sweet because of the generous amount of sweet soy sauce either as marination or dipping sauce, while ayam bakar Padang, Bali, Lombok and most of Sumatra are usually spicier and more reddish in colour due to the generous amount of chilli pepper, turmeric and other spices, and the absence of sweet soy sauce.
