Noodles (left) are thicker and more "springy".
Curry paste (the dark "spot" in the middle of each bowl): Both are spicy and salty. I can taste clove and fried shallot oil for the curry paste in the left bowl and lemongrass for the one in the right bowl. I did not put in any other ingredients into the bowls of noodles so that the original taste will not be affected.
These are the two packets: MyKuali Penang White Curry and Maggi Royale Penang Seafood Curry. Both are tasty, it just depends on which one suits your palate.
Boils down to the prices - the Penang one's too expensive. How much is the Maggi one?
ReplyDeleteMaggi royale penang seafood curry - One big pack for MYR7.90 with 4 small packets inside.
DeleteMyKuali penang white curry - MYR7.99 for 1 big pack with 4 small packs.
But in small pasar pagi MyKuali is sold for MYR6.90 only for 1 big pack with 4 small packs.
DeleteWow! Now Maggi even has white curry?? I know Maggi has super big packet of chicken and curry mee in the markets.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is new under Maggi Royale sub brand. In the supermarket it is put separately and not near the normal Maggi mee so I nearly did not find it.
DeleteYou cooked two noodles and finished them up? Or one for your spouse? If me ahh, I can finish two bolws.. MyKuali portion is very little.. Eh, I didn't know Maggi now has Penang seafood curry wor.. Will go grab it this weekend during my grocery shopping..
ReplyDeleteWe share the two bowls. Half half. If you say MyKuali portion is very little, the Maggi Royale you will think it is even lesser. Ya can go try it.
Deleteoh.. the "legendary" MyKuali Penang White Curry that caused a stir previously.. i didn't manage to try that actually, now that i saw them still available in supermarket, but already no such urge (like last time) to buy leh~~ :D
ReplyDeleteNo need to cook at home if easy to eat this outside.
Deletevoted the best instant noodles by some website, and i've heard many people who had tasted it praising it to sky high and at the same time, some also commented it's overrated.. can't tell by the photo though, really have to taste it before i can comment..
ReplyDeleteIf really nt easy to get this outside and crave to eat white curry then MyKuali is a good option.
Deleteso many brands came out with their own penang white curry after MyKuali.. hehehe, so are you going to make more comparisons?? :p
ReplyDeleteNo, no more comparisons. Just this one. :)
DeleteOoh this post I like. I thought you were comparing MyKuali and Ah Lai though, not aware that Maggi has responded to the competition! I tried MyKuali early on courtesy of my SIL. Loved it but just couldn't find it to buy. I did see in Camerons while on holiday but balked at the RM9 pricetag.
ReplyDeleteOK can easily find MyKuali already. Now must go find Maggi too. :)
Now can get 4 small packs of MyKuali at MYR6.90 only. This Maggi Royale is sometimes put separately from the rest of the Maggi instant noodles so must search for it.
DeleteYeah found at that price already. :)
DeleteGood! :) Do you like it?
DeleteMy taste is anything, hahaha!! For me, I don't care what brand is that, but usually instant noodles taste shouldn't be very bad, right?
ReplyDeleteSame as me as I usually just eat the noodles but not drink the soup. So far I only eat cintan, maggi, and mamee brand noodles usually, not sure about the rest is nice or not.
DeleteI tried the kuali but not the royale maggi... I didn't put in the white creamer... just the curry spices.. very pedas in the kuali... I think once awhile eat ok.. too often like very "chai"... filling... :) But I also like the chicken original and laksa too from cintan..
ReplyDeleteI think the royale maggi is newly launched. I cheated and did not stir in all the curry paste so not that chai, hehehe.
Deleteboth also tarak ngum me ...kakaka......me more to asam laksa and tomyam...
ReplyDeleteHah, so you prefer a little sourish taste to your noodle.
DeleteMaggi Royale is new to me. Must go back and hunt for it :)
ReplyDeleteYes it is new.
Deletei tasted Mykuali but it was awful experiencement where the curry soup was carry with some funny taste & smell. Wasted 3 left ovr pack till expired as dare not take any challenge to retest. Frankly, seems it has been over rated & sorry to advice no worth to try.
ReplyDeleteTried Maggi Royale which taste very yummy & the soup paste comes with strong curry nice smell & good taste plus the mee was very Q. Worth to try out.
Hhmmm, maybe you are not used to the MyKuali paste but then you could still eat the noodles (cook it using some other paste) but not use the paste provided.
