Another One Dollar Meal Saga - Dual Tone Chili paste

avatar

Hello Asean Hive Community

I hope you all are in a good condition today, regarding the weather have been bad everywhere. Recently I have posted too many decent food and I start to think that soon people will forget that I am a stingy man... wait, I mean I run my frugal live.

Initially this post is meant for Pic a Day community, however recently I received feedback about my activity there. Well sometime I feel it is hard to have fun on Hive, there will always be some people who dislike what we do, regardless wright or wrong.

Ok this was my lunch, it was Nasi Padang with Ayam Balado. Ayam balado means chicken with red chili paste. I like chicken dish, I can eat almost all chicken dishes except the one that come with super sweet taste.

We have one originated from Java, It is called Ayam Semur. Ayam semur is chicken stew with sweet soy sauce. I can not eat that one, always drive me to puke.

ok lets get back to my dish. On the right side you can see chicken drumstick with some chili paste on top of it. On the back you can see white rice with some curry sauce. On the left what you see is actually a boiled cassava leaves with a green chili paste.

This dish costed me less than a dollar, actually it was 0.95 USD. It was not easy to get any lunch like this below a dollar, especially in urban area. Well you could get it if you change the chicken with some eggs.

I think that's for today one dollar meal saga. Recently I do not eat budget food regarding of the nasty weather we have in the last few weeks. It is not wise to save up on your meals if you know you have high risk of getting sick from it. In this case, I need to push up my intake, by volume and by nutrition.

Ok that's my post today, feel free to leave any comments below. If you want to ask some challenge about what food I should get, be my guess... I am gladly welcome it.

Thank you for coming and reading my post. I live in Jakarta, Ex-Capital City of Indonesia. I used to live by making money online, that's why I like being here, on HIVE, and in #PIMP - (Paper In My Pocket) community.

How incredible that you can prepare a lunch with less than a dollar, in my country it is something impossible and even less with chicken. I share your taste, I love chicken and I eat it in any presentation, with the odd exception.

of course things should be slightly higher in your place. Here in Jakarta, minimum wage is around $350 per month. I think your place should near double of that number

Congratulations on your frugal meal, my friend,it does look very good! I didn't know that cassava leaves were edible when boiled that's great, because we've got a fair bit of it here. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Indeed, that's why I was so surprised to see it edible after being boiled. That whole family has poisonous sap. Even the roots have to be skinned. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

most young people here in Jakarta, especially office white collars or people who declare themselves as corporate slaves, prefer to eat chicken which cost them more than $3. It's ironic !BBH !ALIVE !PIMP
