Over the past few months, I have visited several of my friends’ wedding invitations. Some of these wedding invitations are usually held in several hotels in this city. For some reason, almost all of them have this chicken stir fry menu with bell peppers or we can usually call it paprika.

Because of my curiosity, I asked some of my friends who got married at the hotel. I asked why this chicken stir fry I often found in some of my friends’ wedding invitations who got married at the hotel. Then my friend replied;

“That’s because it tastes good, is cheap, and looks beautiful. The red and yellow colors of peppers and chilies make it attractive to invited guests to eat. So, they will be more appetizing. In addition, the rich taste will match other dishes even though the price is cheaper than other menus.”
