Mee siput

Mee siput muar (Jawi: مي سيڤوت موار‎‎‎), or simply mee siput, is a cracker which originated from and is commonly available in Muar, Johor, Malaysia.

[1] Mee siput muar is traditionally and originally hand-made of flour dough which is rolled, stretched into long noodle-like strips or strings before being swirled in a circular spiral pattern to resemble the shell of a siput, or snail in Malay.

[2] They are dried in the sun before being deep-fried in cooking oil until crispy and crunchy.

[4] Beside its spiral snail-shell shape which has contributed to the name of mee siput,[5] the so-called snail noodle cracker also has a crispy texture similar to the light, brittle feeling of a snail shell once it breaks in the mouth.

[6] In present times, the factory and machinery produced mee siput mostly were not made in the traditional "snail shell" form, but rather in a randomly swirled pattern due to mass production for durability, efficiency and commercial reasons.
