Maggi Goreng

This is surely a Malaysian idea. Do you know, before writing this post, I attempted to remember my first maggi goreng..couldn't remember it. But, I am now in a position to proudly tell you, that the BEST maggi goreng can be found in Plaza Damas, Hartamas, KL. It's located diagonally in front of Starbucks on the 2nd floor. ( The picture above is not the real deal...don't be fooled. That was my dinner last night, a decidedly inferior version of the real deal) You may then well ask, what constitutes a good version? It must be springy. Not too oily. Half cloves of garlic tucked deep in the depths of it teamed with onions is a must. Some vegetables is aesthetically pleasing but contributes little to the overall taste. Colour! That's the other give-away. If it's dark brown, you can be sure it'll be salty and you would be left thirsty after. Too pale is bad as well. The overall lightness of the entire meal is a must. What drink do you team it with? Teh O panas of course.
