Ayam Goreng Kremes (Indonesian Fried Chicken with Crunchy Bits)- Pieces of chicken is marinated in spices and then boiled and then quickly fried and served with crunchy bits (kremes) made separately. 

This dishes is also one of my favourite dish in Indonesia. I remembered maybe around the 90’s the restaurant Mbok Berek and Nyonya Suharti served this dish and became popular and were the best one I guess. My Mom took us once a month to eat in one of the restaurant.

What a great memory 😍
