Soto Ayam with Rice Noodles

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.
