The Grill Factory

Another Feastaphoria, not lunch but linner (sometimes between lunch or dinner).

Nasi merah ayam geprek sambel spesial. Steamed red rice with chilli sauce smeared - fried chicken and soup. I honestly couldn't really translate it to English, but you guys got the idea. The fried chicken is smashed and folded with their special chilli sauce, served with steamed red rice and tamarind-broth veggie soup on the side. A normal modern Indonesian dish. 

HOWEVER. Normal is not my style. So there we have a side dish of crispy pork cheek. Fried, not roasted. Deep fried and tossed in fried garlic chips and five-spices powder. Sprinkled with freshly chopped green onions. Nice crunchy salty side dish, it really is an appetizing item. Dip it into its garlic vinegar dipping sauce, perfect. 

Beer. When you can, or whatever. Just get a pint of beer. Thank me later 🍻

Pig(Pork) and Beer. A match made from (earthly) Heaven. 

Got me and my mates a knuckle of pork and crispy pork belly skin on the side. Yep you read it right, pork skin as a side dish for the pork knuckle. Why, you ask? Because it is THAT good and because we can. You see, the 2 of them are die hard bike riders with their respective biking gears and early morning weekday rides plus out-of-town weekend rides. They burn those porky calories like nothing. As for me, well, I'm burning lotsa calories by doing regular lifting sessions. Lifting weights (of life). 

The dominant taste of these dishes are salty-savoury. Chinese five spices powder, garlic, salt, creates a punch of flavour however is a bit too much for my palate. That's when the garlic vinegar chilli dip comes in handy, and a plate of steamed rice. Flush them down to your happy tummy with a glug of beer/pilsner. What a life 

Perfect companions for chill afternoons, for you who are allowes to have pork in your diet, what are you waiting for? Put some pork on your fork, mate!
