I can't fathom why people would willingly pay a few dollars for maggi goreng at the mamak stall but when I saw this upgraded version that comes with cheese fries and mutton steak, I decided it is time for me to find out why.

This maggi goreng special ($7) from Ibrahim Mee Stall is a real head-turner. From the moment I collected my order to putting it on the table, people passing by would turn their gaze and stare right at it.

Well, who wouldn't? I have not seen anything quite like it myself. There is so much 'drama' on my styrofoam plate screaming for attention!

The maggi goreng special consists of a portion of fried maggi noodles, a fried egg, cheese fries and cubes of mutton steak.

The noodles owe its intense color to the secret sauce in which they were fried in. However, do not be alarmed by its intimidating appearance for the noodles are just mildly flavored without being overly spicy, sweet or salty.

The mutton steak is succulent. The ones with a bit of fat tastes slightly more gamey than the ones without but on the whole, it is not so bad. The sauce could be a tad too cloying but makes a good dip for the fries if you have run out of cheese sauce.

The crinkle-cut fries is piping hot and unsalted just the way I like them although I will be happier with shoestring fries. The amount of mayo and cheese sauce drizzled on top would put McDonald's to shame.

My yolk is fully cooked, unfortunately.

I would have given this dish more brownie points if the yolk is runny.

In all honesty, the food tastes nothing out of the ordinary but it makes for a satisfying meal. It is especially comforting to have on a wet day when paired with a cup of teh halia to wash down all the grease.

Alas, the $7 pricing is a little steep for me to make a repeat visit anytime soon.
