Our visit to Maga Restaurant

1 May, 2018

I couldn't remember how we ended up at Maga Restaurant at Perak Road, as it isn't our usual neighbourhood. It has been some time since we last ate here. We were not sure what to eat. I knew about the famous curry mee here, but decided that we wanted to try something different. So I ordered the fried Jawa Mee while my wife ordered the Sar Hor Fun. Both are just so so only.

We tried the curry mee, the pan mee and the fried oyster. I like the curry mee, which I find at RM2.60 (April 2013) to be quite inexpensive. The portion isn't large, and it comes in a small bowl with not much gravy. But the ingredient includes cuttlefish, which is quite a pricey item. The taste is also quite good. Although I thought the gravy isn't much, after I dig into this bowl, I found that it is sufficient. I later found out that the stall won the Battle of Penang Hawker Masters 2012 award.

My wife had the pan mee. According to her, it is also quite tasty. We ordered a plate of fried oyster. The style here is similar to the one you can get at Beach Street's Kedai Kopi Lam Ah, in that it is cripsy. I find it quite good, though I would prefer that the sauce is provided in a separate saucer. The price for a small plate is RM6.00, not too bad.
