Not the one…

My girl has gone off instant noodles. I guess she has had her share of those all these years so these days, she gets put off by the mere smell or taste of the noodles. However, she was telling me about one that she had, tom yum flavour, but she could not exactly remember the brand and guessed it was this one…

…that I bought from the supermarket at the mall round the corner from my house – the made-in-Singapore Nissin brand.

There were two sachets inside…

…one with the seasoning and the other, the oil and stuff.

The noodles took longer than usual to cook, unlike those of the other brands and were firmer, more springy. I would think they were nicer than the rest. As usual, I cooked them first and drained, added water to them and rinsed well before draining away all the water and placing the noodles in a bowl.

Then I boiled some more water and cooked some prawns that I used for garnishing…

…in it after which I added the contents of the two sachets to the stock and poured the soup over the noodles in the bowl.

I also fried an egg to go with the noodles…

…and sprinkled some chopped spring onions and fried shallots and served…

Yes, it was very nice but when my girl saw that, she said what she had was dry, not soup…and when I showed her the packet, she said that was not the one she had. Sigh!!!!!

Of course, they did not come cheap – around RM6.50 for a pack of 5 so it works out to about RM1.30 a packet but thankfully, it was nice and we enjoyed it…though I would think twice about buying it again, not at that price, thank you very much!
