Crispy Chicken with Coriander and Thai Sweet Chilli Sauce

This crispy chicken with Thai sauce is one of my husband’s favorite dish. However, I only cook this very rarely due to the deep-frying process. I try to avoid deep-frying mainly due to the fact it is a waste of cooking oil and the helluva cleaning up afterwards, really not due to health issue 🙂 In fact, most of my comfort food are deep-fried food!

I made this for CNY dinner last week and thought I should snap some pictures while cooking to share on my blog.

Restaurant Review – Green Peppercorn in Sydney CBD branch

We all agree that Green Peppercorn serves really good Thai food. We’ve come to this place probably five times in the last 3 months, that ought to say how we love it!

We came here again last night for Chinese New Year Eve dinner with hubby, my brother and his girlfriend. I made reservation a day ahead thinking that it might be busy but turned out when we got there at 6.30 pm it wasn’t busy at all.

It is true that you get only get better by doing it again and again 🙂 Here are my previous attempts on Martabak Manis here and here.

Martabak Manis Challenge 2

I’d like to share this recipe with my readers because it has resulted in good martabak so far (or, until I discovered the most recent recipe). The main difference to the previous recipe is this recipe uses yeast as well as baking soda. The yeast did help with creating nest-like texture somewhat (see top left picture below); in fact, I had been making martabak with this recipe few times (because we were pretty happy with the results). I still use non-stick teflon pan to make my martabak and therefore I cannot make them thick, nevertheless they still turned out fairly good (at least better than my previous attempts)
