Boil the chicken in a big casserole with onion, celery and peppercorns. Cover chicken with enough water. Remove meat from bone and don't forget to save the stock!

Heat oil in a pan (or wok if possible). Saute garlic and other onion slices until the onion is transparent. Add chicken and pork. Cook until pork is brown.

Add half of the chicken stock. Boil for about three minutes. Add salt, soy sauce or patis to taste. Also sprinkle some ground black pepper. Simmer for about another three minutes.

Add shrimp, mushrooms, carrots and other ingredients except the noodles itself. Simmer for another 3 minutes or so (covered). Add the remaining stock. Adjust the taste with salt, pepper, patis and soy sauce.

Add the noodles. Mix thoroughly until noodles are soft. Garnish with sliced green onions and sliced lemon. Serve with lemon juice.
