I went back to basics with this packet of noodles. Didn’t doctor it up based on the serving suggestion picture (well, I didn’t have any shrimp anyways). All I added was an egg and some cilantro…just like I used to make it in my school days. You can always count on Thai instant noodles to satiate every flavor craving. My favorite is actually the creamy tom yum flavor but I haven’t been able to get my hands on any for a while now. So in an effort to make the soup a bit more hardy and creamy, I broke up the egg by stirring it with the noodles. The sprigs of cilantro are for color. If you are really hungry, I would suggest to make 2 packets of these noodles. As with most Thai instant noodles, the serving portion is rather small, which is perfect for me. The noodles themselves are usually thinner which I also enjoy.

Why why are these so bad? I rarely meet a noodle that I don’t like. The noodle texture was a little tough and rubbery and not chewy. The soup was spicy but had no flavor. The seasoning packet smelled of onion and garlic powder which is usually an indication of tasty noodles but not in this case. Also, I had no idea that the soup was going to be spicy because there wasn’t a separate spice packet. All in all, the cilantro and bean sprouts had more flavor than the noodles.

I don’t know why – but I was attracted to the shiny blue packaging. Usually, the packages are red and black?
First of all, it doesn’t taste anything like pork but it does have the familiar flavors of tom yum: sweet, salty, sour and spicy. There is a lot of seasoning in the packet and the granules are unusually large. I suspect the large granules were MSG because there is an overload of flavor! I liked that the noodles were thin. This was the perfect hangover cure after the fun Friday we had last week. As you can see, I was feeling pretty uncreative and lazy and didn’t add much to it. Never the less, I slurped up every last drop of the soup….it was soooo good!
