The last time I visited Medan was in 2012 for the occasion of Qing Ming Festival, where we all went to my Grandpa and Grandma’s tombs to pay our respects. My aunt and uncle took us to a restaurant where their beef soup is the town’s favorite. The soup did not disappoint, and I can still remember how it tastes even now. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon the very same recipe supposedly contributed by the exact same restaurant here. Naturally I must reproduce this a.s.a.p. and boy oh boy, am I glad to give it a go. It tastes amazing and now I don’t have to go all the way to Medan for the soup anymore. πŸ˜€

      Hi Anton, for the first step, cook until the beef is really soft and tender, usually about 45 minutes to 1 hour. For the third step, cook until potatoes are soft but still firm, about 10 to 15 minutes. Hope this helps. πŸ™‚

      Sure thing Stephanie, in fact, I think the additional bones from the ribs will only make the soup even more flavorful πŸ™‚
