This is comfort food for me. In Malaysia, you can get them in barbeque shops as the stock is made from barbeque/roast bones. It is also one of my aunt's fav and I have fond memories of getting take away from a barbeque shop in Canning Garden with her. One of my fondest memories of home is tucking into this together.
