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... =)

I dedicated this recipe for a friend who, after looking at the picture at my fs, asked for the recipe. This snack is one of my guilty pleasures =P My auntie made this all the time when I was growing up. Family, friends and relatives love it.

While I like the version that my auntie made, which is using the all purpose flour, the one posted above was using the whole wheat flour. It's one of my experiments that didn't go too well.. =P

I would suggest that you use the regular all purpose flour because the bread will come out softer and chewy and yummy... =)
