Soto Tangkar Betawi - Betawi Beef Ribs Soup
Soto tangkar is another soto from Betawi. Tangkar means beef ribs in Betawi language, and hence soto tangkar always uses beef ribs as its main ingredient. Back in the old colonial days, whenever a party was held by the Dutch, a whole cow would be cut and some of the lesser choice cuts would be distributed to the locals, and the ribs were such cuts. Over time, the locals developed soto tangkar to utilize the leftover ribs.
