It’s definitely hard to satisfy everyone’s tastebuds, even us Malaysians. But one food item we’ve always been proud of is our instant noodles. After all, every household in Malaysia has a packet of instant noodles stored in their pantries. Therefore, it’s no surprise that Penang’s MyKuali White Curry has earned second place on the LA Times Best Instant Noodles in the World list!
According to LA Times food columnist, Lucas Kwan Peterson, he has tried every variety of ramen in the known universe and came up with a ratings system to rank 31 varieties.
Luca fell in love with the MyKuali Penang White Curry, calling it “one of the best” thanks to its “deep seafood flavour, slightly sweet and almost coconutty”, placing it in the number 2 spot. MyKuali wins taste buds again at number 7 with Lucas crowing the Penang Spicy Prawn for its deep and briny taste. He calls it a crustacean carnival, describing the soup’s flavour akin to “sucking the goopy marrow from the head of a shrimp.” He added that this instant noodles is very easy to get in the United States.
Indonesia’s Indomie Mi Goreng featured twice in the top 10, at 1st place and 10th place, with the Barbecue Chicken variety clinching the top spot.
“The smoky chicken flavor balances out what could be perceived as one possible weakness of Indomie noodles, namely that they’re a little too sweet. The chile sauce gives a tiny bit of heat, and the texture of the crunchy onions really puts it over the top. Could and would eat daily”, stated Lucas.
