One trend I’ve noticed in my trips to Malaysia in recent years is the use of Maggi ie. instant noodles in some street food dishes. You might come across Maggi Goreng (ie. fried Maggi noodles) cooked Mee Goreng-style at some food courts, and I’ve had Maggi Udang ie. Mee Udang (Malay prawn noodles) served with Maggi noodles as well.

During our trip to Kelantan, we visited an outdoor restaurant famous for its Maggi Ketam – Maggi Noodles with Crab.

The owner and head chef shows us how he cooks his famous Kelantan Maggi Noodles with Crab. Recipe at http://jackiem.com.au
