Answer
Hello mutyaa,

A six month old dog needs specific nutrition and should be fed adequate amounts of a high quality food, developed with the needs of a growing dog in mind.
Adding beef and chicken will definitely entice most dogs to eat, but it's preferable to find a quality product that will cover all his nutritional needs. I googled orchid butter and meadow lea but I can't find what they are -  my advice to you is to locate a premium food (I'm sorry, not sure what brands are available for you) or else have a recipe formulated for you by a professional and feed a home made diet that covers all your dogs growth needs. Proper nutrition during the first year is essential for health throughout life.

If you cannot locate a premium food, at least use a variety of foods to top the kibble, I suggest rotating foods so you add chicken one day, beef the next, then eggs, sardines or salmon, and so on - avoid overfeeding liver (some is ok) and dont be afraid to add a little well cooked brown rice, a little cooked vegetable, but don't go overboard on any of this, use it as a topper for the dry food, and look for a food your puppy enjoys more then the one you're using now.
All the best, Catherine
