Would you believe me if I told you that I cooked all these just because i wanted to drink the soup? Haha, yes, I have a weak spot for malay soup! But that was all before I tasted all these!
Now, I've fallen in love with the whole set ~ the succulent chicken, the fragrant rice, the savoury sweet gravy, the spicy sweet chilli sauce and the aromatic soup! Oh so yumm!
I love my soup with loads of cilantro and fried shallots! Normally, when I order this outside, they don't put alot of these 2 ingredients. And I always have to ask them for more. So, cooking this at home is so much satisfying, I get to put as much as I wanted!
