About

My all-time favourite dish at mamak stalls. Mamak stalls are run by Indian-Muslims and you’ll find them scattered all over Malaysia. These are the best fried noodles and a trip to Malaysia will not be complete without eating breakfast at one of these stalls. These egg noodles are known for their charred taste and are best eaten with a spicy chilli sambal on the side, accompanied with a large cup of pulled sweet milk tea (teh tarik).
