M’sian Red Curry Pringles sold in UK; they love it, we’re confused
Hello friends, welcome back to another episode of “Western People
Doing Asian Foodâ€!
This time, we meet an interesting interpretation of Malaysian
curry thanks to Pringles UK.
Yes, it’s true. Malaysian Red Curry flavoured Pringles
are being sold in the UK.
Part of their Rice Fusion range, it was released in February
this year with Indian Tandoori Chicken Masala and Peking Duck with Hoisin Sauce
flavours.

Instead of going with the more famous Malaysian buildings, the package features Kek Lok Si temple in Penang.
But what does it taste like lah?
Luckily(?), this writer got to try for herself and it tastes
like….. *drum roll please*
Maggi Kari powder.
We even got a UK cable friend, to give us their honest feedback.
It’s actually quite nice, but definitely tastes nothing like a proper Malaysian curry.
While us Malaysians were unimpressed, it seems like folks all the way in the British Isles are loving it.

This UK food reviewer even thought it had a Thai essence:
But this tweet basically sums it up nicely:
“Malaysian Red Curry†flavoured Pringles May not taste like anything that ever came out of Malaysia, but they’re still damn tasty lah.

Oh well, this just goes to show that east or west, Malaysian food is the best!
This isn’t the only time the Western world has fallen in love with “Malaysian” food though. Check out what Americans thought of Maggi Kari HERE.
