Maggi Goreng Mamak – Why You Can Never Cook Something This Good Yourself

🧊 Intro: Hungry? Welcome to the Mamak

Ahhh, the dreaded lunchtime hunger pangs… or the late-night stomach grumblings. That all-too-familiar feeling of “what to eat” — especially during the madness of lunch hour.

After minutes of indecision, you let your muscle memory take over. Where do you end up?
Yes — the mamak.

🚗 The Journey Begins

You drive in circles, hunting for a parking spot like it’s a national sport. Finally, you walk over to your favourite spot — in this case, one of the Curry House outlets.
To me, this place is the best — flavour on point, relatively clean (a win in mamak standards), and maybe the proximity to Timberland Medical Centre keeps them extra tidy?

You’re greeted by the usual chaos: finding a seat. The table spacing here? Designed for people with a BMI of 19 max. XD

On the left — the nasi campur and briyani counter stares you down.

🍜 The Order: It Escalates Fast

I sat down, and without thinking, out came the words:
“Megi goreng.”

The waiters here? Masters of upselling. They press all the right buttons.
So what did I end up with?

  • Maggi goreng kari
  • Telur mata
  • Fried chicken
  • Ice lemon tea (of course, sweet AF — “kurang manis” is a myth here 😅)

Naturally, I wasn’t eating alone. My lovely company ordered the same. No regrets.

🤤 The Arrival: Glorious

Then it arrived.
The maggi? Fried to mamak perfection. Fresh chilli. Keropok scattered on top.
Fried chicken — hot and crispy.
Egg yolk? Runny and dripping into the noodles.

And because it’s never enough, they also gave:

  • Kicap pedas manis
  • Sos cili (like, are we eating kampua now? 😂)

“There are some things in life you just can’t recreate at home —
Maggi goreng mamak is one of them.”

🫓 But Wait… There’s Dessert

You don’t go to a mamak and stop at just one plate.

I went for a dessert course:

  • Roti canai planta cheese
  • Served with kari ikan and kari kambing

The flavour? Ridiculously good.
