Mee Siput Muar 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 was rolled, stretched into long noodle-like strips or strings before 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.^[3] The ready-to-eat snack may be served with condiments like sambal, chili paste or chili soya sauce.^[4] Beside its spiral snail-look-aliked 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.^[7]
