Mamak's Corner

This stall is located inside Urban Hawker. I ordered Mee goreng mamak and the food was prepared fresh. The mee goreng was delicious with lots of toppings. I could smell the char from the wok. The sauce was very bold and flavorful. The fried egg was perfectly cooked with a crispy edge - just like I had back in SE Asia. The portion was quite generous too. The only thing that took me back was the price which was quite pricey.

[HALAL] The food and the drinks were amazing! Two of my favorite dishes were mee goreng and the beef murtabak. The budndug was soo good 🤤 Also, The staff were extremely friendly and hospitable, explaining each dish and drink with passion and immersing us in the culture of Southeast Asia.

The mee goreng tasted so flavorful. I’ve never had this dish with chopped noodles before, and it was surprisingly good. They cooked the fried egg impeccably. Only thing I would change the sauce on top, I wish they’d ask first.

Malaysian here. Honestly, the mee goreng here is legitimately a hate crime. It tasted exactly like chef boyardee. It was infused with KETCHUP (no spices or seasoning) no shrimp, terrible quality beef and peas. Noodles overcooked and soggy and husband and I both had bowel issues afterward. We’d only eaten it because it was $18, which is crazy since it tasted like it came straight out of a can. This is what I’d imagine some deranged Irish person would try to come up with having only seen a picture of mee goreng and never eaten it before. if you are singaporean or malaysian stay away from this place with a ten foot pole. I am legitimately offended. NYC is full of meh food but I never post reviews about it—I could not hold this in though.

Mee Goreng.... if you want to eat singapore street food in midtown, this place makes these traditional dishes that are both spicy and delicious. The employees are very kind, the plate presentation is very good.🤤

We tried the Murtabak, Chicken Biryani, and Teh Tarik. Murtabak was appetizing, which paired very well with the gravy and dhaal (lentil) sauce. The Chicken Biryani was tasty and aromatic (saffron and pickled -achaar) - the basmati rice was fluffy and the chicken leg quarter was juicy and flavorful. The rice and chicken was topped with gravy which was very enjoyable. The Teh Tarik was really creamy and smoothing, similar to chai.

Lamb briyani ($21.50) had a nice flavor but it wasn't even warmed up and the lamb was chewy and dry. Seems rather pricey for pre-cooked food inside a food court when you can get the same for less in a proper restaurant. I guess that's what you can expect from an over hyped Manhattan food "destination"

Last week was my first time having Singaporean Indian cuisine and I have no regrets! I ordered the Kway Teow Goreng Mamak and loved the flavors. Next time, I’d add a Chapatti and Teh Tarik to try more from the menu. Give it a shot!
