This time I have used potato, carrot, peas and cauliflower which were left during the weekend....

Ayam Goreng (Malaysian Fried Chicken) Human beings love fried chicken. It explains why so many cultures have some version of this wickedly delicious food, and every country thinks their version is king. But why play favourites?
