Soto Padang

Hi...I join again the event "Masak Bareng". Today we eat Soto Padang. Hmmm...,it's yummy, suitable for comforting your cold day. You may eat it for lunch or dinner.
I got the recipe from Dewi Anwar's Kitchen Craft a couple days ago. It's worth to try. But because of now we are living far far away from our hometown, we didn't serve the Soto Padang with "Kerupuk Sagu Merah" or Red Sagoo Chips. We couldn't find it here. I changed it with shrimp chips. yeah, it was different...but it's okay lah...he..he..
Come on, let's go to the table, have a bowl of Soto Padang !!
