After the review of MyKuali Penang White Curry Noodle, one of my facebook friends suggested that I should try Ah Lai, as it is even better!

I decided to do a taste test, using the same amount of water and the same pot too. The only variable was the packets of noodles.

The results were amazing...my friend, Anabelle and I reached a similar verdict - both were equally good, but the curry for Ah Lai is BETTER! It's a true white curry which is tasty, with a full body and enough coconut cream! As some friends say, enough Lemak and lemon grass is very important for good curry.

I bought both packets of noodles in Malaysia, in a provision shop in Genting, for the same price of 10.90RM for 4 packets.

The packaging is quite similar, I wonder who created the white curry noodles first! I did a search on Ah Lai, and realized it is marketed under Fa.E.Fa ( Fa Yi Fa! ), but the main company is Nam Seng. To find out who created the noodles first, I checked out their Halal Certs ( It was the easiest way to check as there was no information about Ah Lai anywhere online. ) MyKuali came first, followed by Ah Lai, as seen in the later expiry date of Ah Lai's halal certificate.

After looking at so many of my friends post about the MyKuali White Curry Noodle with the Natural Ingredients, I decided to get a pack too. It comes in a pack of 4, costing $4.50 at Cold Storage. Apparently, it is the latest and yummiest instant noodle, sold out in Malaysia, with hordes rushing around buying up cartons and snapping them off the supermarket shelves!

Woke up one early morning feeling really hungry, so I decided to make both the MyKuali Penang White Curry and my favourite Nissin Chilli Crab Cup Noodles, and have them face off in a taste challenge. Yes I know, they are totally different, but Chilli Crab Flavour is my absolute favourite! Can the MyKuali instant noodles take over my Nissin Cup Noodles as my absolute favourite?

Looking at the packaging, I was pretty excited about the Penang White Curry Noodle - it claims to have natural ingredients in the Chili Paste and I couldn't wait to taste it. The total time it took for me to make the noodles, however, was not 3 or 4 mins, but a total of near 11mins. Why? 

I boiled the water ( 3mins ), but the noodles in to the boiling water, waited another 3mins for the noodles to soften and be ready for the seasoning. When I opened the seasoning pack, I expected to see some bits of dried vegetables or prawns or something, but it was just fine slightly yellow powder. The non-dairy creamer was fine and white, and I stirred it into the still boiling hot water. ( I had switched the induction cooker off already. ) Opening the pack of chili required me to find a knife as it was near impossible to tear open, and that took some time. 

When I first opened the pack of chili, I was very happy to smell the distinct shrimp in the chili, and it took about a minute for me to stir in and get all the seasonings and paste nicely dissolved. Click on Read more for more photos and the verdict!
