A HEARTY stew or soup can be comforting after a day of fasting, especially if it is redolent with herbs and spices along with tender meat.

Sup Tulang Rawan, or beef bone marrow soup, is a popular choice to break your fast with as it gives a warming feeling from the staple four-spice “empat sekawan” combination of cinnamon stick, star anise, cardamom and cloves.
