MAMAK in UNT

Posted by UNT MASA or The University of North Texas Malaysian Students Association

Hey guys! Spring break is just around the corner, I hope everyone will have a relaxing and happy holiday break : )

While I am in the US, one thing that I miss most from Malaysia is sitting in a mamak with friends at night drinking teh-o ice limau and eating roti canai. I am sure you guys miss this too. During this spring break, MASA is going to make this happen. We will be having a Mamak night!

Date: 21st of March (Saturday)
Time: 3 pm
Venue: Ming Kai's house
Food: $4/person
(Subject to change if the cost is lower than the estimated cost)



We need our fellow MASA members to help by bringing in some food for the event. Everyone who attend will need to pay $4 and for those who cook, MASA will pay you the cost. One thing to remember is please keep any related receipt. No receipt = no claim! Our rough estimation for the budget is between $7 to $10 per dish.

Current confirmed dishes are:

1. Yellow noodles (Ming Kai)
2. Roti canai (Malini)
3. Chicken curry (Roshini and Naresh)
4. Samosa (Alicia Ng)
5. Egg tarts and some malay style finger food (Ex Maple Trio)
6. Indo Mee (Tammy)

Some brief suggestions for the food are:
1. Curry puff
2. Teh tarik and teh o (Teh-o ice limau!)
3. Any Malaysian kuih muih (Pls try to avoid brownies or cupcakes)
4. Noodles or fried rice


For those who are planning to cook and had decided on a dish please reply to this post. If you are attending, please RSVP by replying to this post too.

Thanks guys! Hope to see everyone there : D
