#5210: Ayam Singaporean Laksa Noodles – Hong Kong
Well, this is the last of the Ayam varieties – laksa. I’ve got a few laksa varieties I’m doing this week, some releasing in order, some getting out sooner than later. When I make laksa (if possible) there are a few things I really like to include when I garnish. You may have noticed my laksa of mung bean sprout recently – well, that’s a must. Fishball, tofu puff, and mint. That’s the quartet I like to have on hand. Of course, egg as well. This one’s showing shrimp as well, so I think I’ll include that in lieu of fish ball. Well, let’s cook some laksa!
#5154: Prima Taste Singapore Black Pepper Crab LaMian – Singapore
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.
#5197: Nissin x Irvins Salted Egg Mala Flavour – Singapore
We’re getting to the end of these Singaporre collabs – here’s the bowl version of their salted egg mala, which I previously tried in pack form. Let’s give it a try!
#5195: Nissin x Irvins Spicy Salted Egg Flavour – Singapore
After reviewing the three pack versions, we now will look at the bowls. These are a little different as the come with ganish and the packs didn’t. Let’s see how it goes.
#5192: Nissin x Irvins Salted Egg Mala Flavour – Singapore
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!
#5187: Nissin Jumbo Seafood Chilli Crab Flavour – Singapore
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. Let’s continue on though – this is a chilli crab pack from Singapore – one of the signature dishes of the country. Let’s give it a try!
#5155: Nissin Ippudo Shiromaru Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen – Singapore
Hey look at this! I have to say the Ippudo collaborative instant ramen I’ve had in the past has been exemplary, so I’ve high hopes for this one. Let us begin.
#5102: Nissin x 328 Katong Laksa Laksa Flavour – Singapore
The huge box of samples from Nissin Singapore as I’m finding out are all collaborations and that’s pretty interesting. This one is with 328 Katomg Laksa, a hawker stall founded in 1998 after a chef spent 6 months tuning and refining her laksa recipe. I love laksa, so I’m really excited to try this one.
#5096: Nissin x Irvins Salted Egg Flavour – Singapore
I tried the spicy version the other day, and while it was pretty good, I was left wishing it centered simply on salted egg. Well, this one does exactly that – shall we dance?
#4916: Topp Instant Macaroni Tom Yum Flavour – Singapore
This one’s another HMart score. Yeah I know – again, not ramen or instant noodles, but was certainly found on that aisle. Sounds good to me – let’s check it out!
#4894: Nissin Cup Noodles Seafood Flavour – Singapore
Here’s one that Nissin Singapore sent a little while ago – thanks again! These cups are pretty jam packed with bits and seasonings. Let’s check it out!
#4875: Nissin Cup Noodles Spicy Seafood Flavour – Singapore
Here’s a Singaporean variety – thanks to the folks in SG! As I write this, it’s 16 degrees farenheit – wind chill puts it at 7 degrees! What a brisk walk it will be this morning! On the episode of Instant Noodle recipe time at the bottom, I’ll probably talk about my frozen bones! Let’s cook this up!
#4824: Nissin Cup Noodles Fish Head Curry Flavour – Singapore
Here’s a variety which has been released for Nissin Cup Noodles’ 52nd anniversary – one that was a limited edition, but now a full part of the Nissin SG lineup. When I had it a while back, it was great – let’s give it another try – new and improved style!
#4813: Nissin Cup Noodles Chicken Flavour – Singapore
Ah, chicken! This is a variety ratyher interesting to me. Such a basic one – we have a counterpart in the United States, I’ve tried chicken Cup Noodles from Germany as well. It’s all over. Well, how is Singaporean chicken Cup Noodles? Let’s find out!
#4804: Nissin Cup Noodles Korean Army Stew Flavour – Singapore
Hey check this out! It was sent by Nissin SG (thanks again!) as part of their Cup Noodles 52nd Anniversary promo.
#4603: Nissin Cup Noodles Tom Yam Seafood Flavour – Singapore
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.
#4566: Nissin BIG Cup Noodles Tom Yam Seafood Flavour – Singapore
Well, shoot. We come to the end of the BIG Cup Noodles from Singapore with this one, which saddens me. They were a lot of fun, but I wager they may have saved the best for last. They mentioned this one is very popular. I love tom yam – nice and spicy, seafoody, and full of lemongrass flavor. Let’s give it a try!
#4557: Nissin BIG Cup Noodles Japanese Cheese Curry – Singapore
This is the third of four varieties which came in a big Cup Noodles bucket from Singapore! The bucket is really quite large which is pretty neat. This one sounds interesting; I do quite enjoy cheese as well as curry – let’s give it a try!
#4554: Nissin BIG Cup Noodles Seafood Flavour – Singapore
Here’s another one that came out February 2nd – a big Seafood cup! This and three others arrived in a special media box from Nissin Singapore early February – thanks again! Let’s give it a try!
#4551: Nissin BIG Cup Noodles Spicy Tonkotsu Flavour – Singapore
This came out of a special media kit box from Sinigapore’s arm Nissin Foods – thank you! They send some pretty cool stuff from over there and this is no exception. It debuted February 2nd of 2023 as well as their BIG Cup Noodles Seafood Flavour as well. Let’s give this one a try!
#4471: Nissin U.F.O. Korean Hot Chicken Flavour – Singapore
This is definitely a challenge to the popular spicy Korean varieties that are so popular right now. I’m really curious if it will also bring a Singaporean savoriness. Logically, this will be formulated to appeal to Singaporeans; like how we have American Chinese cuisine here, perhaps there’s a Singaporean Korean cuisine there? I don’t know but I think I’ll find out shortly!
Homiah Sends Flavors Of Southeast Asia!
I got an email from Michelle over at Homiah.com recently. She mentioned she started a company out of her apartment in New York – one to expose people here to the flavors and nuance of Southeast Asian cuisine. Well, she sent me a box of her products and it’s really amazing stuff – all 5 stars, all top notch. Check out what she sent as well as images of what I created which will appear in upcoming posts!
#4282: Nissin U.F.O. Truffle Carbonara Flavour Yakisoba – Singapore
This is pretty cool – it only arrived a day or so ago and it’s only around for a short time I believe, so I’m rushing it out. I definitely like carbonara. Truffles are interesting from what I’ve experienced of them. I used to visit a restaurant every once in a while called Perche No in Seattle – an Italian restaurant whose head chef was Malaysian! Anyways, he made all sorts of fascinating fusions. Was at a special dinner there once and he brought out a big container of truffles and let us check them out. Truffles are hard to describe; kind of like the finest old book smell but edible. It’s really different and compelling. Well, this yakisoba has aromatics of truffle which is very interesting to me. Big thank you goes out to Nissin Singapore for contacting me about these and sending some! Let’s get to it.
#4132: Nissin Cup Noodles Fish Head Curry Flavor – Singapore
This is an interesting review. Usually, the reviews I post daily have been done months in advance. However today’s review was probably done the day prior. It’s Monday night right now, the kids are having dinner, the guinea pigs a weeping waiting for theirs. I’m writing this framework for review #4235. The thing is that this product was introduced in Singapore on April 4th and only made for 3 weeks, so they’re already running out. They sent me a special box with some samples and I posted the unboxing today. So I’m going to review it tomorrow (Tuesday), and release it on Wednesday. So that being said, I’ll have to switch the number of this review with the one that was going to come out on Wednesday. Should be fine. Since this is so limited edition, I just want people to see it while it makes sense for them to see it. Anyways, there you are. I hope it’s good!
Prima Tastes Sends Samples From Singapore!
I’ve been taste-testing products for a long time, and every time I get something from Prima Taste, I’m pretty excited. I remember years back when I first tried their products I was just blown away and have been so ever since! Let’s crack open this box and see what is within this time!
#3859: Prima Taste Singapore Prawn Soup La Mian – Singapore
Here’s one the folks sent all the way from Singapore for me – thanks! This one isn’t available in the United States. I’ve tried it before, but they included a special sachet of powder to give it more oomph. Let’s give it a try!
#3817: WhatIf? Foods Bamnut Noodles With Sweet Hot Seasoning – Singapore
I did a bunch of preliminary work with an interviewer from Channel News Asia a while back for a program they were developing. They chose to not include me in it, which does happen. I was disappointed, but the interviewer was really nice and connected me with a company who was to be featured on the show. The show was focusing on the trend of more health focused noodles around the world, and these are some from that company, WhatIf? Foods. Definitely a unique box! Let’s look within and give them a try!
#3732: Chillies Brand Hae Bee Hiam – Singapore
When I heard about this, I was immediately interested. Dried shrimp are a big part of this and I’m curious how ‘shrimpy’ the flavor will be. Let’s find out as I review the first variety from Chillies Brand I’ve tried!
#3544: KOKA Baked Multi Grain Noodles Pepper Crab Flavour – Singapore
Here we have the last of the trifecta of the KOKA Baked Noodle series. I thought I’d give this a try today as it’s a Monday and I’m hoping to get through ten reviews this week. It’s been an uphill climb lately though…
#3499: KOKA Baked Multi Grain Noodles Five Spiced Duck Flavour – Singapore
KOKA released 3 varieties in this range and this is the second of the three I’m reviewing today. Duck is a bit of a mystery to me. I love duck and I feel that it is the most neglected meat in Western cuisine. In Asia I’ve had duck on every visit – it’s everywhere and it’s such wonderful, tasty meat.
#3446 Prima Taste Singapore Black Pepper Crab Flavoured La Mian – Singapore
We meet again, black pepper crab! I tried this awhile back as a special pre-release variety, but this is the full-fledged version. Black pepper crab is considered of one of the top dishes of Singapore – here’s a little about it from Wikipedia –
#3210: Prima Taste Singapore Prawn Soup La Mian – Singapore
Today I’m reviewing the third iteration of this variety from Singapore. I really like good prawn flavor and hoping this one blows my mind like Prima Taste’s other varieties. Let’s give it a try!
New!! Prima Taste Black Pepper Crab & Other Recipes – Singapore
I’ve already just posted the review for the new Prima Taste Black Pepper Crab La Mian, but here’s the video unboxing! It’s been busy and I really wanted to try it so here we are. I had an energy drink today so getting a lot of stuff done today! Enjoy!
#3096: Prima Taste Singapore Black Pepper Crab Flavoured La Mian – Singapore
Here’s something pretty cool – I was contacted by the folks at Prima Taste who said they had a new product. Now their Whole Grain Laksa has been number one on my top ten for 3 years now, so naturally I want to try something new from them. They don’t come out with new stuff often and never had anything I didn’t like.
#3007: Myojo Ramen Char Mee 100 – Singapore
Here’s one that was sent by Myojo of Singapore – thanks again! So, what’s char mee? I did a bit of research on Wikipedia about char mee. It was a little vague but I am hoping what I gleaned was right. So, this is like Hokkien mee without broth. Let’s see what this is all about.
Mooncake from Prima Deli – Singapore
So you probably know that I’ve been proud to place Prima Taste Laksa as #1 for the past three years on the annual top Ten list. I love it and can’t leave the stuff alone. Well, the company that oversees Prima Taste and oversees another company – Prima Deli. Prima Deli makes all sort of things including mooncake!
#2921: Prima Taste Singapore Prawn Soup Wholegrain La Mian
Here’s one I’ve not tried before – the wholegrain prawn. I’ve tried the regular prawn, but not the wholegrain. This version married the thick and hearty wholegrain la mian with their prawn soup base. Let’s take a look and see how it is!
Meet The Manufacturer: #2882: Miandom Tasty Asia Green Curry Shrimp Flavoured Instant Noodles
Today, we part ways with Miandom and their Tasty Asia range. I have a feeling green curry and black pepper crab might not be the only products we see from this new company. This is the green curry cup version. Let’s take a look!
Meet The Manufacturer: #2881: Miandom Tasty Asia Black Pepper Crab Flavoured Instant Noodles
Here we have a black pepper crab noodle cup from Miandom’s Tasty Asia range. Black Pepper Crab is another very popular flavor in Singapore – let’s see how it stacks up!
