i still eat maggi noodles. started eating them at a tender age of 4. i could have it for breakfast, high tea and supper. the tagline for them in the 70’s was:
mee maggi
cepat dimasak
sedap dimakan
the most popular maggi ad on telly then was of this kid coming home from school with a friend, telling his mom, “mak! kawan datang! makan!“. and she makes them maggi.
i’d do that if my son brings a friend home too. hahaha.
apparently the tagline is something else now, or so sharizal tells me.
i like mine plain. only of the original variety, none of this in-a-fcuking-cup business. sometimes, if i feel a little kinky, i’d add stuff.
did you know maggi was swiss? the purveyor of fine pseudo-kicap in switzerland until the brand merged with nestlé some time in the middle of the last century.
For work reasons, I have no choice but to take mamee now. Mamee ada Mawi as ambassador okay. World.
I still make maggi the same way I made it at school – boil water, pour water in tupperware with maggi and seasoning, wait 2 minutes. None of this tumis-tumis, letak atas dapur thing. Hehehe
AF: how you doin’ bro? i’m like the biggest mawi fan. like. ever.
idlan: the way you cook maggi is so 1987lah. hehe. masak ker noodles if you just do it like that?
kudo: maggi is indeed “foreign”. i heard this euro pronounce it sans the hard “g” at my local kedai runcit a few years ago. that was like a wake up call. haha.
Ahh… the good old days in the 70s. And the desperate days in Sikamat!!! Hahaha
Anyone ever done a Maszhee (I’m assuming that’s how the Euro pronounced it, jim) Party before? I remember the last day of MRSM. You know, the night where you burn books and sit around the fire smoking pot (how jahiliyah is that?)?
We took probably five packets of Maszhee and did one big portion in a baldi – the kind we used for two years to wash our underwear in. Ahhhh… The innocence of youth.
Idlan: Heard that if you it that way, it’s carcinogenic, no?
Jimbo: Masak ok je aku makan.
The Neon: Fek. Am screwed.
at our school then, there was this utility room next to the ‘bilik basuh’ where there was this long table. it was the only designated room in the block where we were allowed to plug-in (mana leh guna elec sekolah, nak dengar radio/kaset pun kena guna ‘ubat lampu’), and the school provided us with iron and kettle. soon, that room was better known as ‘bilik maggi’. my fav has always been the curry flavour.
dah try the latest ‘new’ maggi from india? better looking packaging than the bolehland’s … but, yuck!
ohh I am drooling! We can’t get Maggi Mee here only Mamee and Indomie. I am partial to the Thailand hot tom yum mee which I eat once a month. But yes I remember that TVC …. cepat dimasak, sedap dimakan!
Maggie is Swiss mari. That’s it man, there must be something we can make to conquer the world too!
Idlan: not really. Plastic only produces dioxin under intense heat, like microwave intense. Hardly think hot water in tupperware makes it carcinogenic, but I could be really wrong.
