Power Mee Soto @ Ah Seah Coffee House

Being an Indonesian, I loooveee soto. In my home town, Surakarta, "nasi soto" is quite a staple breakfast, but can also be enjoyed for lunch, but not for dinner. There are other nice food for dinner =). I've been staying in Singapore for 9+ years now, and I still can never find a soto that 's really like the real deal. Indo has many kinds of soto; soto Madura, soto Betawi, soto kuah bening (clear soup soto), soto daging (beef soto), soto babat (tripe soto), soto Makasar, etc. There's only 1 type of soto here, usually in the muslim food stalls. And it's not served with rice, but noodle / bihun (bee hoon) / ketupat (rice cake).

So in my quest of searching for the best Singapore version of soto, I found this muslim food stall at Kovan Centre along Yio Chu Kang Rd. It's called Rahim Muslim Food. This stall sells Mee/Bihun Soto, Mee Rebus, and Satay. It's quite a specialized menu, don't you think? Well, they have their reason. The mee soto is POWER, as the tag line suggests "Power Mee Soto".

For $3.30, you get quite a generous amount of noodle, chicken & perkedel (bagedel). But, that's not the reason why I write about them. It's the Mee Soto Special! For S$3.80 you get lots of noodle, perkedel & a quarter chicken!! It's really good. And if you are chili lover, put lots of the chili sauce (sweet soy sauce with chili). I guarantee that you'll go back for more. Enjoy!

I heard that the mee rebus is power too, but I don't like mee rebus, so you can try that if you like.

Here is the info of the stall:

name: Rahim Muslim Food

location: Ah Seah Cofee House @ Kovan Centre, 9 Yio Chu Kang Rd (opp Highland Centre & Singapore Pastoral Institute)

NB: In recent years, Indonesian restaurants are growing in numbers here. Some of them serve nice & descent Indo food, but some are just mediocre. But all of them are not cheap. For soto lovers, there's House Of Soto somewhere on East Coast Rd, will review that next time ;)
