Mee Soto
The Meatmen
April 18, 2023
Mee Soto is one of our favourite and most nostalgic dishes to have especially during Hari Raya.
Its aromatic and hearty broth brings back primary school canteen Malay stall vibes; an extra comforting bowl of noodles.
Adding a Begedil is a great way to soak up all the flavours of the soup and makes for a filling meal. We’ve got a Begedil recipe hack (15mins tops) here
