Mamee
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mamee is a snack from Malaysia which is derived from deep frying "instant" noodles, rather than boiling it in water as one would for most instant noodles or pot noodles. Mamee is eaten directly by crushing the block of noodles into pieces, and adding some "seasoning" powder which contains taste enhancer. The snack is not only popular among the children in its place of production, but also many other Asian countries and is very popular in Australia. In Chinese communities, the snack is often called "mummy noodles".
The packaging of the snack is eye-catching due to its bright yellow colour and a gluttonous blue monster named Mamee enjoying the snack.The back shows a boy with Mamee enjoying the snack.
However recently the design of the Mamee monster has been changed to a more modernised version, with better graphics and design prospects for the new generations obsessed with the best quality in everything. The drawings of the boy with Mamee no longer adorn the back.
