Review of Maggi Goreng Vegetarian at KSB Nur (Lebuh Pantai) by dafnelately

Vegetarian gourmet #instantnoodles from the legendary Abu Mamak 🙌 These brothers are Penang #hawker legends and have been a staple of my night-life in Penang — That is, until I went vegan 🌱

Oh, and #covid19 happened and they changed places twice ✌️

If you know anything about Malaysia foodie culture it’s that we love a good #supper at a #mamak 🇲🇾 This place is known for their insanely appetising, though unfortunately non-vegan, Maggi #tomyam 🌿 The boss is really friendly and when asked if I could have it #veganized he explained that the #tomyum paste they use has shrimp in it & even allowed me to inspect it for myself. Incredibly accommodating! That said, I have attempted (and I would say successfully) recreated it myself by hacking another #accidentallyvegan product by Maggi 👉 https://www.abillion.com/products/maggi-tom-yum-kaw-10584646 🍜

That’s how we settled on this! He somehow just knew that Maggi Kari https://www.abillion.com/products/maggi-instant-noodles-perisa-kari-10194045 was vegan and offered to just make a #veganized #meegoreng 🤗 I actually don’t know what’s different from the original. It might just be the same 🤔

I’ve been avoiding Maggi Kari since I was stuck quarantining with my sister in #langkawi and it was the only thing I could get 🥱 This finally broke that spell for me! They really work magic into their dishes ✨ The texture is this nice balance between soggy and chewy, it’s just so lovely 😇

They’ve got other #veganfriendly dishes and are more than willing to accommodate. I hope you don’t mind the odd chance of cross-contamination though 🤞 Maybe one day vegan #mamak stores can be a thing!
