I guess everybody knows my favourite brand when it comes to instant noodles – the made-in-Sibu Mee Daddy. There are 3 flavours – chicken, curry and mee goreng (fried mee/noodles). I like the light and clear chicken-flavoured soup…and with added ingredients, it can be a lot nicer but I’m afraid when it comes to the mee goreng, it does not measure up to the other brands like Indomie, now rebranded Ibumie.
I love the curry-flavoured ones though but for some time now, I had not been able to get them at the grocery stores and mini-supermarkets in my neighbourhood. For a while, I thought they were not popular and they had ceased production. But the other day, I stumbled upon them at a supermarket in town…
…so I promptly bought some. Despite the fact that they are locally made, they are NOT cheap. These cost RM3.55 for a pack of 5 and the chicken-flavoured ones can go up as high as RM3.80. In comparison, the ones made in West Malaysia are cheaper e.g. Mee Sedap are sometimes sold at around RM3.40 only for a pack of 5. I wonder why this is so considering that they are manufactured in the town and they would be able to save a lot on transport charges and what not.
Anyway, you can have the curry variety just like that. It should be nice enough but I usually dig into the freezer to see if there are any things that I can add. Here, I had added some fish balls…
…sprinkled some chopped spring onions over it and I also fried an egg to go with it…
Yum! Yum! Want some, anybody? LOL!!!
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
