Happy Tuesday!

Do you follow From, in Paramount+, friends? It's really intriguing. I was in Season 2 and then I canceled Paramount+ as we've got too many subscriptions here and there, but then Season 3 came out, we went back to Paramount+ again as I was just dying to find out in Season 3, and yet only today I could start watching Season 3, as I had to finish watching Legacies on Prime first 🤣😅🤣😅 Too many to watch, too little time 🫣😅🫣😅

For today's recipe share. I have a dish from Indonesia, called Ayam Kecap, which is Sweet Soy Sauce Chicken. Some people would refer this dish as Ayam Mentega, as they would use butter (mentega) in one of the ingredients.
