S

op buntut (oxtail soup) is one of the most popular local dishes. “Both [our] local and foreign guests are familiar with sop buntut,” says Ciptoroso, chef de cuisine at Cinnamon restaurant, Mandarin Oriental hotel in Central Jakarta.

To make a mouthwatering sop buntut, Ciptoroso says the soup needs to be simmered. “Though the oxtail is cooked faster in medium high heat, it will make the soup unclear,” he said. 

Below is the recipe for those wanting to cook sop buntut at home. (kes)
