Mee Siput

The snack got its name as in the old days it was traditionally hand-made of wheat flour dough that will be shaped into noodle thread and swirled in circular pattern to resemble like the shell of siput, or snail in Malay. And beside its shape, the crispy texture of the so called snail noodle cracker is also similar to the fragile condition of the snail shell. It was then dried in the sun before deep-fried in cooking oil until crispy and crunchy. The ready to beaten snack is best served with condiments like sambal; chili paste or soya sauce.
