46. MAMA Yentafo Rice Vermicelli



Brand: MAMA
Name: Yentafo Rice Vermicelli
Price: 0,50 €


This package of MAMA's Yentafo noodle soup would easily win the prize for kitschiest package/best colour combination. Yentafo is some kind of sauce that originates from Thailand. (And it's PINK!!!! Ermahgerd!) 
To be honest, I have little knowlegde about Thai kitchen. I'm sorry. I haven't tried any Yentafo dishes before to be able to make conclusions and comparisons between instant noodle soup Yentafo and real Yentafo, so I'm just rating this soup out of personal taste.


blah. Powder, fat and rice noodles. Nothing special here.


The broth also takes the prize for prettiest/most unexpected colour in noodle soup. It tastes sweet if you only eat the noodles, and more sourish and salty when you drink the broth. It's also a liiiiiiittle bit hot, but almost merely remarkably. The noodles are shitty, though. They do not really get soft, but stay somewhat hard after boiling, although they are so thin. It feels weird when you chew them. The soup would be so much better if the noodles weren't that disappointing.

XXVI. Mama Oriental Rice Vermicelli Tom Yum Koong Flavour



Brand: MAMA
Name: Oriental Rice Vermicelli Tom Yum Koong Flavour
Price: 0,50 €


AHH I can't read Thai so I had no fucking clue what the name of these Noodles were untill I googled 'MAMA Shrimps' and looked up the pictures. Yeah me! Har har. 
OTL

Fact is: If the package of ramen is red or hot orange, (I love the color hot orange hahaha I'm such a chick) it might be most likely an indication that the content is pretty hot. Even without adding the extra pack of chili powder. Just FYI for you Ramen-noobs out there, if you didn't know^^



There was a pack of some dark red paste in it. When I cut it open to pop out the content, (I always cut open the sachets because I never rip it open. That'll only cause a disaster of spoiling everything everywhere. Ramen can be a motherfucker if you don't handle it right. Or if you're obviously an idiot. So am I.) something went on my finger. When I licked it up, it sizzeld on my tongue, seriously, so hot is that damn shiat!!! But it was pretty nice, though, haha.



The broth looks preeeetty red, and the smell when opening the lid to cover the noodles while getting mushy was reaaaaaally fierce, too. The noodles are very thin, which I personally don't like that much, and they also don't get that soft for me to find them awesome. But I absolutely love the broth. It's hot, but you can (or I could :P) still eat it, it's actually not that brutal at all! Well, I could slurp the soup without any problems, my nose just started to run after I almost finished the bowl. It also tastes nicely of shrimps and seafood underneath the hotness.

Rating: If you're not a pussy and into hot stuff, I recommend this Ramen. A

XII. Vina Acecook good Chicken Flavour

Hello!
This is a guestreview by our friend Tram!
It's actually an answer to this post by my sister.



Brand: Vina Acecook (<- a vietnamese brand!)
Name: good artificial chicken flavour
Price: I don't know. It was a gift 8D

LOLz. Well hello everyone! I'm not a regular blogger instantnoodleseater but I needed to convince my fellow name-mates that these noodles taste better than the one they tried. So I'm here to write this review for you guys. (side-note: my name actually fits really well to this blog, just sayin' :P)


As seen on the other review the packaging is similar, the only difference being the yellow color instead of the green one. I don't know why but chicken flavoured instant noodles are always yellow o_O (as seen by MAMA, YUMYUM, etc.). Of course the picture doesn't show spare ribs but the noodle soup with some chicken meat on it. Quite disturbing might I add because there is no meat in the actual package :<


Let's move on to the instructions:
Add 400ml boiled water to a bowl in which you have already put the noodles and the soup powder.
(I always skip the vegetables because they don't really add any improvement to the soup and taste like nothing, so why bother putting it in? I'm a lazy person okay?) I have to admit I only poured 250ml water because otherwise the taste would be gone and everything would be just watery and shitty.
So.
Here is what it looks like, still boiling.


After it's done boiling we can finally begin eating. The soup tastes really well, kinda salty but also quite spicy. I really like the taste of it and I think it's much better than the spare rips one. I usually like the chicken flavoured soups more for example I prefer Pho Ga (A vietnamese noodle soup) to Pho Bo (Same but with beef flavour). Anyways. As already mentioned the taste is really really nice, a good mixture of salty and spicy - and you can always make it less salty by reducing the amount of soup poweder 

The noodles are... well not as soft as glass noodles are supposed to be; IF you ever tried the real glass noodles you know what I mean - but they are okay. Maybe I should have left them in the hot water a bit longer, but I'm always so hungry and impatient >3<

SO ... I give it a B+

I'll run to my local asia market and grab some more instant noodles now Ò^Ó
until next time ^O^//

IX. Vina Acecook good artificial spareribs flavour


Brand: Vina Acecook
Name: good artificial spareribs flavour
Price: 0,60 €


This time we have a review with vermicelli noodles. (WTF, why does that word sound so Italian? xD) The packaging looks very nice, with a sample picture on the front advising how the noodle soup could actually look like and what you should add/put on top of it to make them a more delicious and healthy meal and just pimp that lousy crap that’s actually inside the package.




The glass noodles are unregularely thick, and the fat ones don’t get soft at all in the boiled water but stay hard, which is a minus. The artificial spareribs flavour tastes too artificial, just really weird and strange, not like spareribs at all. The taste is not even close to any kind of meat flavour, well, at least not the ones I know. (-____________-)'' There are also some mini tofu chunks included in the vegetable bag. They have a specific taste, and I really can’t tell what they are doing in the soup, if that flavour is supposed to add some special taste to the soup (which already tastes crap), or if it’s to make the clear soup look less boring under the green herb stuff, or if it’s an attemp to interpret/imitate/impersonate the spareribs. I find it very disturbing.

Rating: Though the name is good, I didn’t find them good at all. D
