MEE GORENG MAMAK / MAMAK STYLE FRIED EGG NOODLES

I am a BIG fan of Mee Goreng Mamak. The best Mee Goreng Mamak that I've tasted was at Bangkok Lane and Esplanade, Penang..Goosh....so..so yummy that sweat you all the way..hot spicy and really finger licking good.  If you need a double dose on this fried mee add some "sambal sotong" (cuttlefish sambal)OMG it is heavenly delicious.

Mamak in this context refers to an Indian-Muslim, Indian-Muslim are damn good in their cooking and they control almost 50% of the restuarants in Penang.The actual mamak mee goreng has chicken breast, dried tofu, slice boiled potatoes, prawn fritters and eggs in it. This mee is, usually complemented with a dash of lime juice, giving it that tangy surprise which precedes the spiciness and fried to absolute perfection…now that’s simply irresistible!

 Cook's Note

You can opt to break in the eggs while frying the noodles or serve the eggs separately. I prefer mine separately. The actual mee mamak add the eggs together with the fried noodles./ Mengikut citarasa masing-masing, telur boleh dipecahkan semasa menggoreng mee atau diletak secara berasingan. Saya lebih gemar untuk meletakkantelur secara berasingan

MeeGoreng Mamak yang paling ummphhh....yang pernah saya rasai ialah di Bangkok Lane dan Padang Kota Lama Penang. Setakat ini tiada yang boleh tandingi mee goreng sana. Cukup sedap,,,pedas dan memang syok...lagi sedap bila ditambah dengan sambal sotong kering.


Saya kalau hendak menggoreng Mee Goreng Mamak ini saya suka yang lengkap..lengkap dengan cucur udangnya, kentang rebus, sambal sotong dan yang paling penting sambal untuk menumisnya. Kalau semua ini cukup barulah kita boleh menikmati Mee Goreng Mamak yang ori.
