Once again I apologize for the lack of updates as life have kept me extremely busy both offline and online. I will not neglect this beloved blog and hobby of mine but updates will not be as frequent as before.

That being said, whenever I do update, it will be a unique recipe for sure such as today's Soto Ayam recipe or chicken soup with rice noodles. This is a delicacy among the Malay community and one of my favorite too for its tantalizing rich taste. I have tried cooking this in the past with all sorts of noodles which you can also do so according to your preferred choice.

Have made Indonesian Soto Ayam with coconut milk even though it turned out quite tasty but much prefer the one without coconut. I will try out your recipe and let you know how it goes. We are about the same age. I like cooking and eating all sort of cuisine. Thank you.
