The Mamee Monster noodle snack was created in 1974 when Datuk Pang’s eldest son, Mamee-Double Decker Executive Chairman Tan Sri Pang Tee Chew, noticed rubber tappers eating uncooked noodles straight from the packet.

This inspired the father-son duo to pre-season their noodles before selling them, creating one of Malaysia’s most iconic snacks.

Mamee Monster Family Pack Retro Limited Edition are available in Black Pepper, BBQ, Hot & Spicy, and Chicken flavours and are priced at RM3.50 onwards.

The snacks will be sold at all supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide and available online through Shopee and Lazada.
