Mutton Soup – mutton bones, shanks or ribs are slow simmered with aromatic herbs and spices. Garnished with fried shallots and fresh cilantro, it is a hearty meal served with steamed rice. This flavorful soup – surprisingly earthy, satisfyingly meaty, elegant and subtle – will forever change the way you view soup. Oxtails are perfect in this recipe to make Sup Ekor, also called Sup Buntut [Oxtail Soup].

I tried this! It was amazing!
I become hungry if i see this.
Anybody know what can I replace the KNORR Perencah Seasoning Powder with? I don’t live in Sg/Malysia so hard to get it..
"perencah" seasoning itself is a stock or seasoning powder. so i think you can use chicken stock 🙂
