Very very sorry to hear about your dad. May you have good courage & strength through this tough time.

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! :)

hi, it’s my first time to check out your blog and I was greatful to find some recipe from Indonesia. I want to share that so many kind of Soto Ayam, and there was from all the country. We called those: Soto Banjar from Borneo Island or Soto Ayam Lamongan from Java, and they have a little bit difference taste. At my hometown Surabaya, East Java we have some popular soto daging Madura. :)
