Expire…

I quite enjoyed this made-in-Korea instant noodles…

…and I am quite sure it is usually very expensive – the last time I bought a packet a  long long time ago, it was RM2.00 each! However, my missus said that she was quite surprised to see that it was quite cheap so she quickly grabbed a pack of 5…

It was not until she got home that she noticed the date – it was about to expire so no wonder it was cheap. She did not tell me how much she paid for it though so I haven’t the slightest idea as to how cheap was cheap.

It sure swept her off her feet the first time she tried – she said it was so very nice and had the taste of Korean ginseng chicken soup. I don’t think they have any ginseng in the seasoning though. After all, they are quite honest in telling you…

…that it is artificially flavoured.

Inside each pack, they have the noodles, square-shaped…

…so it may not fit into your regular saucepan unless you break it into two and there are two sachets, one with the seasoning and the other with the dried ingredients.

Yes, I thought it was very nice and yes, it did taste a bit like Korean ginseng chicken soup and it was just a little bit spicy but definitely not by our Malaysian terms. I spotted some bits of cili padi (bird’s eye chili)…

…among the dry ingredients that also included some spring onions and fried shallots plus a few bits of what tasted like meat. The noodles has a nice texture, not quite like that of the usual instant noodles that we are familiar with, a little bit firmer and smoother.

There was some leftover chicken in the fridge so I took a piece and shredded the meat to add to the noodles and I also garnished it with more spring onions…

…and served.

We’re down to the last packet now – my missus had two, my girl ate one and I tried one. Seeing how she loves it so much, perhaps the former will grab another pack or two if she sees any new stock at the shops when she goes out.
