It always gets me how this noodle pairs so well with the broths and sauces. This is a new package and size version.

Let’s cook this up, the last I have of the new package sized varieties. ...see full post

Prima Taste Sends LaMian Blind Box Collection From Singapore!

This is a rad box with a story. Months ago, they were kind enough to send this over. However, customs got very freaked out about a box with little stuffed figures inside it; like it was a terrifying threat to national security! Well, I found this at my doorstep yesterday and was thrilled. A bonus was that my daughter Mimi had the day off from school, so we were able to do an unboxing together. She is really into these kind of things and the closest I can relate is I’m legally blind and these are blind boxes, so I must be compatible with them. So sit back and enjoy the video! Huge thanks to everyone at Prima Taste over in Singapore for sending this over – we had a lot of fun opening them! ...see full post

Here’s another of the new size/package Prima Taste LaMian series. This stuff is serious business. I’m hoping we don’t lose power as a massive storm rolls in. There’s been talk of the possibility of tornadoes! I live about an hour’s walk from the Seattle city limits, so that’s rather bizarre. Let’s cook this up as we get excited for a lots of thunderstorms to watch tonight. ...see full post

This is the last of the multipacks – I’m really making progress through all these Nissin Singapore products! Soon, the monster box will be gone and I’ll have room. Not to say I don’t like what’s in the box as I very much do. I’m curious about this one – it’s salted egg again, but instead of pepper spicy, I’m guessing it’s Sichuan peppercorn spicy. Let’s see if it works! ...see full post

You might have noticed a different background on the pics lately. So there’s a company that does flooring called Flooret and they had a thing in facebook offering to send free samples. Well, I got some and  that’s what these are. I’m going to get a big piece and get it cut which is darker than this one I’ve been using. It’s pretty neat stuff and I’m pretty stoked.

#5215: Prima Taste Singapore Curry LaMian - Singapore

Ahh curry. I will admit I’ve loved curries of all types since I was a kid. I still do – just last week I made green curry with chicken, onion, and bell pepper. Well, this one has graced the Global Top Ten many times – it’s strong noodle and rich broth always please. This new version is different – instead of a soup paste and premix (coconut powder) sachet, there’s two soup base which are infused with coconut milk. Very curious about this change.

#5212: Prima Taste Singapore Wholegrain Laksa LaMian - Singapore

Hey look – it’s different! Yep – slightly smaller size and new design. I should note it won’t be in the West for a while.  I needed to gather some things to be able to review these – you’ll see what it’s garnished. This has been my absolutely favorite instant noodle products for a very, very long time, I first tried the non-wholegrain version back in 2013 and I remember calling a friend who worked at another company and told them – ‘take notice of this – things are changing.’ Well, they have. With this review I’m also unveiling my new background. I’d been using a woven black plastic placemat for about ten years. It was time to change. This is a flooring plank cut to size and I’m pretty happy with it – you’ll see it more as time goes on. Anyways, on to the cooking – I’m very excited to try these again for the first time in the new package/size. Let us begin. ...see full post

Back in 2017 when the world was young (before I started Instant Noodle Recipe Time), this one graced my desk with its packaging exclaiming ‘more shrimptacular.’ The packaging has changed a bit and I got this one as part of a media kit espousing the virtue of their new Cup Noodles Fish Head Curry (which were quite good, I might add). Nissin Singapore has sent some really quite amazing and well thought out media kits as of late – can’t wait for more of them! Let’s give this new packaging cup a try. ...see full post
