Mamak Mee Goreng

Mamak mee Goreng* served with the traditional Soy and fish sauce along with some chicken flavoured crackers)

Kuala Lumpur offers a great variety of fast food.
Streets and shopping malls are filled with vendors selling spicy and huge portions of nasi (rice) or mee (noodle) dishes alongside steamed buns and the widely popular curry puffs.

One such noodle dish is the Chicken and Mushroom Mamak Mee. Mamak Mee is a locally made yellow noodle made of flour.

Vendors keep the cooked Mamak Mee Noodles ready for consumption. Then depending on your choice of flavouring and garnish a quick stir fry is created.

My order was freshly prepared by tossing large slices of ginger, onions and carrots in a hot pan. The chef then added a few pieces of cooked mushroom, chicken and the Mamak Mee ( which after being cooked is seasoned with Soy sauce - hence the brown appearance). After quite a bit of vigorous stirring this wonderful dish is served with fish sauce and hot chilles in vinegar.

Delicious :).

* Mamak Mee Goreng translates to Indian Muslim style fried noodles.
