I got an email last week about this stuff – saying it was the most popular on a Malaysian shopping site. I got a package a few short days later, which was yesterday. So, here I am trying it immediately. I’m stoked; I used to get Malaysian varieties all the time in the mail and it’s not as common anymore – let’s check it out!

#3926: Mamee Monster x Daebak Ghost Pepper Kari Lontong – Malaysia
Well, shoot… This is the last of the Mamee Ghost Pepper varieties I’ve got here. On one hand, I am breathing a sigh of relief – these have been spicy! But on the other, I do rather enjoy the whole concept of conquering a spicy noodle by eating the whole thing. Lontong is a kind of pressed rice tube/cake which in itself doesn’t have any flavor, but the sauce it comes with certainly does. I first encountered it with Mamee Chef’s Kari Lontong – a variety I thoroughly enjoy! Let’s give this one a try!
#3925: Mamee Monster x Daebak Ghost Pepper Mie Goreng Indonesia – Malaysia
Why am I doing this to myself today… Okay so let me start out by saying it’s been one heck of a week. A couple of days ago was the 1 year anniversary of my Mom passing, so in her honor I thought I’d walk south on the local interurban trail the farthest ever. Well, 16.5 miles of walking and it’s 2 days later and I’m pretty much crippled from it – my dogs aren’t barking, they’re run over. So that’s a bummer of course – I like to pull 10 miles a day minimum and don’t think I’m even doing any today as well as yesterday… So sure – let’s try the challenge of something ultra spicy and see what happens. Here we go!
#3921: MyKuali White Fish Broth Rice Vermicelli – Malaysia
I’ve been a big fan of this flavor for quite a while – thought I’d tried every variety, too. Well, last time MyKuali sent samples, this one was in there as well. Sounds good to me – let’s crack it open!
#3851: MyKuali White Fish Broth Noodle – Malaysia
As you can see from the sticker, this one was on my top ten 2020 list. I thought I’d better give it another try and see how it is and if I’m still into it as I was. I like to give another go with noodles that I’m thinking of putting on the next list from the previous year. Things can change – especially when it comes to Malaysian varieties – they love to change things up a little here and there with recipes! Let’s check it out!
MyKuali Sends Newly Formulated Product Samples
MyKuali of Malaysia has been on the Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All TIme lists plenty of times. One thing popular in Penang is to constant try to make better recipes. Wll, here’s a reformulated version of a couple of their mainstays – Penang White Curry and Red Tom Yum Goong noodles. Let’s take a look!
#3736: Tasty.ly Quick Pasta Cheezy – Malaysia
I’ve been reviewing a lot of these Kay’s and Tasty.ly products recently – it’s pretty neat! I mean, Malaysia isn’t the first place you think of when you think of macaroni and cheese, is it? I really liked the Creamy variety so guessing this is going to be good too. Let’s find out!
#3715: Mamee SLRP! Mi Segera Perisa Kari Xtra Pedas – Malaysia
Pedas not enough for you? How bout a little XTRA? Pedas means spicy over in Malaysia and this one means it! I did a mukbang of the cup version of this one a while back and thought I’d better do the pack too since Felix over there was kind enough to ship some over! Let’s give it a go!
#3713: Kay’s Instant Macaroni Chicken Soup – Malaysia
There’s been a lot of comment in the Instant Noodles – The Ramen Rater Facebook lately concerning ramen vs pasta. This most certainly is pasta. However, a chicken macaroni soup from Malaysia definitely an interesting thing. Plus it’s instant. Let’s give it a try!
#3708: MyKuali Spicy Fried Noodle (MeeKuali Pedas – Malaysia
Well hello, Malaysia! I was going through my stores of reviewables and found this one last week and though today was the perfect day to give it a try. Honestly the main reason being is that yesterday my daughter tried some yakisoba, so I thought maybe she would like to try this dry variety as well. I’m not sure if this will be as spicy as last time I tried it – it’s a new version.
Re-Review: Red Chef Pandan White Curry Noodle – Malaysia
Here’s one that came via Exotic Noods – check ’em out and use coupon code RAMENRATER15 for a discount! What’s pandan? Here’s a bit from Wikipedia –
#3681: Tasty.ly Quick Pasta Creamy – Malaysia
Here’s something interesting – this one’s from Malaysia. From the bacon in the upper right, I’m going with this is a kind of instant carbonara. Sounds good to me – let’s have a look!
#3620: Mamee SLRP! Mi Segera Perisa Kari Xtra Pedas – Malaysia
Alrighty – it has been staring at me for a few weeks and today it’s time for a mukbang. This is a super spicy one from Mamee of Malaysia. I love curry stuff, spicy stuff – and Malaysia. Let’s give it a try!
#3565: Mamee SLRP! Mi Segera Perisa Kari Berapi – Malaysia
A few days back I tried this one in cup form. Today, it’s the pack. Berapi translates to ‘fiery,’ and where the cup version is concerned, that’s an apt description. Let’s check the pack version out.
#3560: Mamee Monster Ghost Pepper Snek Mi – Malaysia
Check this one out! You ready for a spicy snack? These are snack noodles. You eat them dry without soup – kind of like potato chips.
#3559: Mamee SLRP! Mi Segera Perisa Kari Berapi – Malaysia
Ah – it’s curry day. I love curry in every way, shape, and form. Curry noodles, curry chicken, curried lamb, curry kimchi… Yeah curry everything. This is a spicy curry – let’s give it a go!
#3514: MyKuali White Fish Broth Cup Noodle – Malaysia
I recently tried the rice vermicelli version of this and really enjoyed it. Today it’s the cup noodle version. I’m curious how this will do with a wheat noodle. Let’s find out.
Mamee Shinsegae Habanero Double Mukbang #CANORNOTCHALLENGE2
Okay so it’s been a while since I’ve done a mukbang – well, here we go – this one was particularly brutal!
#3503: MyKuali Penang Red Tom Yum Goong Rice Vermicelli Soup (2019 Recipe) – Malaysia
In Malaysia, I don’t think it gets as cold as it is here. Not sure they’ve ever gotten snow there. I think it would be nice to be there right now. It’s cold.
#3489: MyKuali White Fish Broth Rice Vermicelli – Malaysia
Hey look – something totally new and different from MyKuali! They told me that fish noodle is a hawker stall staple over in Penang. Very curious about this one, as this isn’t supposed to be spicy which is a departure from all their other varieties which do have a strong spiciness. Let’s give it a go!
#3481: MyKuali Penang Spicy Prawn Soup Noodle (2019 Recipe) – Malaysia
A new recipe for 2019 – they change recipes a lot at MyKuali. It’s definitely a Malaysian thing, that’s for sure. I like that though – definitely neat to see companies tweak recipes every so often and see what they come up with. Let’s give this one a try – I’m guess it’s going to be strng with a sweet prawn flavor.
#3472: MyKuali Penang White Curry Noodle (New Recipe) – Malaysia
I gotta say, there have been a TON of new recipes for this instant noodle. I don’t know how many brands are changing recipes out there, but it’s nice to know when they do. This is something they do in Malaysia, specifically Penang, Malaysia, an awful lot. The folks at MyKuali told me how you might go to a hawker stall one day and have something really great and a week later it’s almost unrecognizable in hopes of having the next super popular food item. Food creators there never seem satisfied with ‘good enough.’ Let’s see what this iteration of the legendary MyKuali Penang White Curry Noodle has to offer.
#3469: MyKuali Penang Hokkien Prawn Rice Vermicelli Soup – Malaysia
Simply looking at this bowl evokes memories of travel for me so happy… Penang is such a place of wonder and fascination. The sights, scents and sounds crescendo in a vibrant, harmonic din that haunts my soul in such a way that not a day goes by without a sigh of returning. As the mighty salmon is compelled to return whence it came, so I must return to old Penang someday to experience its charm.
#3465: Mamee Monster – Malaysia
If you didn’t know, Mamee Monster is a snack noodle. It’s all over – you should have known by now. You smash the bag, open it up and eat it. Yes, really. This is popular and common is Southeast Asia. Yup! Let’s take a look.
#3454: Red Chef Spicy Sakura Prawn Soup Rice Vermicelli And Noodles (New Recipe) – Malaysia
When I tried this previously, I was totally stoked. Often you can find prawn noodle in Penang that has both vermicelli and wheat noodles present. Well, you get that here. Not only that, this one while insanely good prior to this review now has a new recipe. Very curious how it is – let’s find out!
#3437: Red Chef Green Tom Yum Soup Noodles [New Formulation Dec-19] – Malaysia
:
This is always something that really humbles me. I review instant noodles, and getting new varieties is always a good thing, albeit difficult oft times. Well, this is a definitely new variety. The former version has been on my The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time list – now I’m curious… Isn’t that good enough? Apparently not! Let’s see what’s different!
#3399: INA Pan Mee Goreng Dried Chilli Shrimp Flavour – Malaysia
My posts for the most part come out about 100 days since I wrote them. A lot happens in those 100 days, personally and globally. About 60 days ago I found out I’d lost 65 pounds when I visited the doctor – 2 days ago I found out I’ve lost 30 more. Last night was the second night of the Democrat primary debates. Kamala Harris did incredibly well and we now have a new race.When this posting, I’m sure a few candidates have dropped off and declared their support for others. I like politics – it’s fun and matters.
#3298: INA Pan Mee Goreng Dried Curry Flavour – Malaysia
I haven’t done a mee goreng variety in some time – at least it seems like it. This one sounds really good – I love curry and mee goreng as well so this should be good. Found this one in a shop at Lansdowne Centre up in Richmond, BC. Let’s get started!
#3286: INA Pan Mee Perisa Sup Laksa Nyonya Melaka – Malaysia
I’m truly stoked on this one – another one found again at that Smart N Save up in Richmond, BC Canada. This is one I decided not to get last time I was in Taiwan that I saw at Carrefour because, well, it was such a big package and I had limited space. What’s great is that they’ve got quite a few varieties up there so I’ll be trying more – and they’re cheap!
#3284: MyKuali Penang Gaeng Som Noodle – Malaysia
Here’s one of the new ones from MyKuali. I’ve enjoyed MyKuali’s stuff for years, with multiple appearances on the top tens. Here’s a new flavor – gaeng som – and a little something from Wikipedia to explain –
#3236: Red Chef Spicy Sakura Prawn Soup Rice Vermicelli & Noodles – Malaysia
Hey look at this! What is it? Well, their standard Spicy Sakura Prawn has been ranked #2 on the 2018 and 2019 The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time lists. This one has two kinds of noodles – both air dried too so they’re healthier for you. I’m a big fan of prawn mee (that’s what they call it in Malaysia) and I’m ready to have a prawn freakout. Let do this!
#3215: MyKuali Vegetarian Penang White Curry Noodle – Malaysia
I’m starting to feel like with the sheer amount of products I’m finding lately that a list for vegetarian people might not be too far off. But we’ll see. A lot of companies (including MyKuali as you can see here) are getting on board with catering to the Vegetarian folks. Let’s see what the differences are going to be with this one.
#3211: MyKuali Penang Gaeng Som Noodle – Malaysia
Well look here something brand new from MyKuali! I think the last new thing they introduced was their fried noodle – their mee goreng. This one though – I’ve never heard of this before. Let’s look at Wikipedia and see what we can find –
#3202: Red Chef Pandan White Curry Noodle (New Recipe) – Malaysia
I was contacted by Red Chef and told they have changed their recipe for this one and that they’d like to send samples. Well, here’s one of them! Really curious how it will be. But first thing s first – what’s pandan? Here’s a bit from Wikipedia –
#3165: Mamee / Shinsegae Daebak Spicy Kimchi – Malaysia
Here’s another one from Mohd – the last of the ones he sent (please feel free to send more varieties and thank you again!) – this is a collaboration between Malaysian company Mamee and South Korean style company Shinsegae. This is a spicy kimchi soup – let’s hit it up!
The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2019 Edition
This is my list of my all time favorites (compiled up to review #3132). These are the best and most memorable varieties – some you’ll be able to find easily, some you won’t. In the images you see, you’ll see garnished bowls of noodles. Note – reviewing is done BEFORE products have anything externally added by myself, and I follow directions on the package – for better or for worse. I should also note that going forward, the official last day for companies to submit varieties to be considered for the annual top ten will be January 31st. That’s enough – let’s have a look at The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2019 Edition!
#3122: Mamee Shinsegae Daebak Ghost Pepper Spicy Chicken – Malaysia
So yesterday was my birthday, and one of the best I’ve had yet. This one was a little different; usually I’m all about going out somewhere to eat or partying up. I had a couple goals for my birthday. One was to do a mukbang of this one and publish it yesterday – which I was able to do.
#3105: Maggi Pedas Giler Perisa Tom Yummz Mi Goreng – Malaysia
This was one in a box sent by Mohd from Selangor, Malaysia – thank you again! So I was trying to figure out how to translate this one. Basically, Pedas Giler is ‘crazy spicy.’ I’m all in on this one- after reviewing the Ayam Bakar version, people said this one was even spicier. Let’s check it out!
