Chicken Lemper : Indonesian snack made of glutinous rice filled with seasoned shredded chicken

Lemper Ayam is Indonesia snack made of steamed glutinous rice with meat or other stuffing and wrapped in a bananas leaf. It is also most popular Indonesian savory, normally can be found around traditional market, bakery shop and some café in Indonesia.
The reason I select Lemper Ayam is because most of my family and friends are loving it and they often request me to make because I'm using premium ingredients and they addicted to it.
