I love, love, love to eat malay meehoon soup, and it MUST be accompanied by the spicy black chilli soy sauce/ 'cili kicap manis'. But as yummy as it is, it is also very hard to find a nice meehoon soup with the 'cili kicap manis'. One place for sure that sells my kind of meehoon soup is in Ramadhan Bazaar, which means I can only enjoy this yummy delicacy once a year, for that one month.
However when a home chef wants to eat something, nothing can stop her! And so, I did my own research for the best recipe. With the help of my hubby, we managed to come out with this yummy meehoon soup recipe. The spicy black chilli soy sauce is the OHMM! You must put a alot of it in your soup and feel the kick yourselves! Yummy..yummy! I'm salivating.. slurp!

Preparing the broth:
2. Cut the beef into approx 3" x 2" each. Marinate with olive oil for at least half an hour.
3. Season beef with salt. In a pot, sauté the beef until all sides are well-browned. Remove from pot.
4. In the same pot, add around 3 tbsp oil. Fry the paste, cinnamon stick, star anise and clove until fragrant. Add in the chicken carcass and sauté together for around 45secs, browning both side of chicken carcass. Add in the sautéd beef and chicken drumsticks, fry for another 30 secs. Add in water.
5. Bring water to a boil, add in the soup spices and chicken & meat kurma powder. Throw in also the chinese parsley stems.

Notes:
● For "The Sauce", the spiciness will be more intense if you let the chilli soak in the sauce for a longer period, preferably if you can overnight.
● (*)To use the soup powder: In a small bowl, add in 2 tbsp soup powder and a ladle of the soup. Stir till the powder is well incorporated in the liquid.
