When it comes to finding a quick and satisfying snack, we always turn to instant noodles to ease our hunger pangs. Besides the wide array of halal Korean instant noodles in Malaysia, there are also many halal Japanese instant noodles in Malaysia to choose from.
So far, Nissin is the only Japanese food company that sells halal Japanese instant noodles in Malaysia (if you spot more brands, let us know!). All the products in this list are halal-certified by Majelis Ulama Indonesia (MUI). You can get most of these brands in any grocery stores in Malaysia such as Giant, Tesco and Jaya Grocer.
Do note that some supermarkets sell similar Nissin instant noodle flavours that are not halal-certified. We strongly recommend checking the halal certification logo before purchasing.
