Best Maggi Goreng in Penang

The adopted name ‘Jiao Sai’ originates from the overwhelming bird poop décor at their old stall, where they have ever since garnered the reputation of serving some mean maggi goreng. The scrumptious fried instant noodles are scattered with packets of a peppery and savoury seasoning and crispy fried chicken bits. There is certainly no better way to complete a simple, yet delicious meal. 

For the uninitiated, you will surely enjoy the maggi goreng here at Abu Mamak. Instead of turning the dish into a landmine of chillies, the noodles here are skewed more towards the light side, with just a tiny bit of spicy hints for some tingling sensations. Topped with a sunny side up and an optional side of fried chicken, this dish of fried instant noodles is surely distinct. 

Famed for their irresistible Nasi Kandar, Mohd Raffe has another dish that’s too good to be brushed aside - the Maggi Goreng. Mildly flavoured and less on the spicy side, those with a more fragile palate will find this dish enjoyable. The seasoning is well balanced too, far from being overly salty like the others.

Known primarily for their exotic types of soup, Sup Hameed has since attracted the attention of many, especially after being featured on a prominent TV show. But something that deserves the same spotlight here would be their maggi goreng. Fried to a spicy sensation, this scrumptious dish will have you chomping down on a huge portion of curly instant noodles fried with vegetables, tofu, and garlic for a hearty meal.
