Make a choice…

The other day, I tried the cup noodles from a certain brand, tom yum flavour, and I did not like it at all, not discounting the fact that it was quite expensive. Personally, if I were to make a choice and pick my favourite tom yum flavour instant noodles, I would pick the ones from the made-in-Thailand Mama Brand…

I tried the shrimp creamy flavour sometime ago, way back in February last year and I thought it was very nice and the other morning, I decided to try another one…

– the shrimp tom yum, non-creamy…

Inside, with the noodles, you will find two sachets…

…one with the powdered seasoning and the other with the tom yum paste.

I boiled some prawns in a bit of water for the stock and once done, I fished them all out before putting in the noodles and emptying the contents of the sachets into the saucepan. I also boiled an egg to go with it and once done, I poured the noodles and the soup in a bowl and served them with the prawns and the egg plus some fresh lettuce and some Korean seaweed snack, garnished with a bit of chopped spring onions from my garden…

I sat down to try right away and much to my delight, I thought it was really so very nice. I loved it!

My girl would not bother adding all the extras when she cooked hers so I guess hers would have the “original” taste and she thinks the creamy one is nicer. As for me, I love them both and anyway, if one likes this one creamy, one can always add a spoonful of santan (coconut milk) to it, no problem at all.
