Hello Salt N Turmeric:
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I love soto and I love it with longtong. I will try your recipe-the spices you put sounds delicious. I love your blog too.
That looks fantastically delicious! I love creamy chicken soups and the coconut milks sounds like the perfect way to make it creamy without being too heavy:-)
Very very sorry to hear about your dad. May you have good courage & strength through this tough time.
Anon, they are indeed hearty. ;)
Worldwindows, I too love the smell of those spices. It makes soto taste even better.
Wmw, do tell when you try making them ya?
Joe, are you sure you ate them with pulut or was it nasi impit? ;)
Kang, how lucky that you had these everyday for breakfast when you were in school!
Oki, thanks for the info. I will search for the post.
BananaBlossoms, that was sweet of you and thank you. I hope you will enjoy the soto ayam as much as i do.

Excellent blog that you obtained with a gratuitous platform. I congratulate to you. Greetings from Argentina
hi. Can I cook this without the four spices? Thanks.
Sheng, I guess you could (I wouldn’t) but the smell and taste would be different.
why must put coconut milk ???? thanx
Skip1g – we used coconut milk to give the soup a more creamy taste, what Malaysians called “lemak” taste.
what can i substitute for the cardamon? i have a hard time looking for this kind of spice in the grocery store. is it ok if i left this out from the recipe?
I love having soto with some fiery sambal kicap! :)
