Diary of a Foodaholic

My husband, Rico, loves pastel ayam so much and I was so happy to make it and succeeded. The taste is just perfect, the pastry is thin and a bit crusty on the outside. It reminds me of my auntie's pastel ayam.

When I was growing up I often watch her made pastel ayam. It seemed so simple... little did I know that it requires extra energy to flatten the pastry dough... =P My arms were sore from rolling the dough that I'm not even kidding... =P

Overall, the filling itself is easy to make. It requires time to make the dough, though. If you happen to have pasta machine it will make your life easier, but for me, since I don't make it very often I prefer to make it by hand... =)
