RESEPI 54: SAMBAL IJO & SAMBAL PENYET WITH CHICKEN

I really love spicy foods. I love to cook spicy dishes. Sambal is my favorite especially sambal from Indonesia such as Sambal Ijo and Sambal Ayam Penyet.

This sambal cooked with chicken

Sambal Ijo has its own distinctive aroma and flavor because it is made from green chilies. Green chilies taste different from red chilies. The green color of Sambal does not mean that it’s not as tasty as other Sambal with red color. Sambal Ijo is a Fairly Spicy relish, not so spicy as you imagine because green chili is unripe chili and not yet grow to the hottest stage!! You can also serve this sambal to accompany fried side dishes such as deep-fry fish, fried chicken etc. It's simple relish but taste really delicious!!!!  

If you have low tolerance to spicy food but want to try Sambal, you can choose Sambal Ayam Penyet as a starter. It tastes sweet and Not Too Spicy despite of its dark red color. This sambal has similar ingredients to Sambal Belacan, but with addition of tamarind extract and nowadays, I noticed that some of seller make Sambal Ayam Penyet quite hot and use a lots of chilies. So, the recipe I want to share today is the combination of Sambal Ijo and Sambal Penyet. Let’s check it out!

MUSIC: ARIANA GRANDE ‘7 RINGS’ – MUSIC VIDEO & LYRIC

Ariana Grande-Butera is onto another massive hit!

The pop star dropped her highly-anticipated song ‘7 Rings’ with its accompanying music video. ‘7 Rings’ is one of her most hip-hop sounding solo tracks with thick beats, a laidback delivery full of attitude around the chorus and some proper Rapping during the middle-eight. The lyrics of this track focus on themes of money, wealth and friendship. It was written and inspired by her buying matching rings and 6 of her friends after she called off her engagement to Pete Davidson. It is also about her sharing advise that a little retail therapy can help you push through when you're feeling totally down - in her case, after calling off her much-public engagement.

The result of this track is incredibly Catchy and highly Addictive.

It screams Smash Hit so loudly.

In her music video sees Ariana Grande with her posse in a neon-drenched dream world, complete with ever-flowing champagne and all possible shades of pink.

Rating: 4/5

7 Rings Lyric

[Verse 1]

Yeah, breakfast at Tiffany's and bottles of bubbles

Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble

Lashes and diamonds, ATM machines

Buy myself all of my favorite things (Yeah)

Been through some bad shit, I should be a sad bitch

Who woulda thought it'd turn me to a savage?

Rather be tied up with cuffs and not strings

Write my own checks like I write what I sing, yeah (Yeah)

[Pre-Chorus 1]

My wrist, stop watchin', my neck is flossin'

Make big deposits, my gloss is poppin'

You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it (Yeah)

[Chorus]

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it

You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it (Yeah)

[Verse 2]

Wearing a ring, but ain't gon' be no "Mrs."

Bought matching diamonds for six of my bitches

I'd rather spoil all my friends with my riches

Think retail therapy my new addiction

Whoever said money can't solve your problems

Must not have had enough money to solve 'em

They say, "Which one?" I say, "Nah, I want all of 'em"

Happiness is the same price as red-bottoms

[Pre-Chorus 2]

My smile is beamin', my skin is gleamin'

The way it shine, I know you've seen it (You've seen it)

I bought a crib just for the closet

Both his and hers, I want it, I got it, yeah

[Chorus]

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it (Baby)

You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it (Oh yeah)

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it (Yeah)

[Verse 3]

I got my receipts, be lookin' like phone numbers

If it ain't money, then wrong number

Black card is my business card

The way it be settin' the tone for me

I don't mean to brag, but I be like, "Put it in the bag," yeah

When you see them racks, they stacked up like my ass, yeah

Shoot, go from the store to the booth

Make it all back in one loop, give me the loot

Never mind, I got the juice

Nothing but net when we shoot

Look at my neck, look at my jet

Ain't got enough money to pay me respect

Ain't no budget when I'm on the set

If I like it, then that's what I get, yeah

[Chorus]

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it (Yeah)

I want it, I got it, I want it, I got it (Oh yeah, yeah)

You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it

I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it (Yeah)
