My Kuali Penang White curry rice vermicelli soup

The packaging for this was quite good because you get a plastic lid with a spoon as well as a fork.
There are four sachets of condiments: dried spring onions and chili, Curry paste, non-dairy creamer and soup base.

Before adding the paste, I tried a bit and it was extremely hot so I only added a quarter and the spiciness was just right for me.
If you add all of the paste, the soup would be quite spicy and sweet because it had a very bold sweetness to it but I loved the strong prawn flavour.

Definitely worth trying if you like really spicy noodles with a strong prawn flavour.

Lim Meng Kee Lobster and pork jerky

Usually Asian jerky is made of pork, but the one from Lim Meng Kee is made of Lobster.

After checking their website, the lobster contains pork as well.


They also have chicken, black pepper chicken and pork belly jerky too.


The taste of this lobster and pork jerky was the same as the usual Asian jerky, however there was less stringy and chewy bits.


I would have liked it if it was less sweet.

TUDOR GOLD Milk chocolate from Malaysia

Found this too sweet and the chocolate texture was rather sugary, the dark chocolate version with or without hazelnuts would have probably fared better.

KOKA Purple Wheat Noodles - Soy and Vinegar

Was attracted by the really nice packaging and the fact the noodles are purple!

The colour they used for the fonts and packaging is really good.
Perhap too good for a cheap packet of instant noodles, but saying that in UK, even the economy brands have respectable packaging and design, its just that the design of Hong Kong and China products look tacky and fake.

Anyway, there are three different flavours: soy and vinegar, chili and lime, and aglio olio.




The one I tried was soy and vinegar which is the Japanese soy vinegrette.

When I opened the package the noodles were purple as expected and you can see the noodles are embedded with wheat in them, the condiments are well packaged too.

I was expecting liquid sauce but it was powder, but I suppose powder is better because oil goes bad in hot conditions especially for hot Asian countries.
When I opened the sachet the smell of vinegar was really strong which was good!

You are meant to mix with xx amount of cold water which I have forgotten but I used warm water to dissolve all the powder.

I also added the other sachet which is labelled canola oil but it actually smells like sesame oil.

Anyway I put the noodles in hot water to cook, and interestingly when the water started frothing you could see pieces of purple wheat floating about.
The water was also turned colour so there is probably alot of colouring involved in this to make it purple!

So heres what the noodles look like cooked!
After mixing the noodles with the sauce, heres what they look like.

Finally I could dig in to these lovely noodles and I really loved the vinegary taste.

Tan Kim Hock : Coconut Candy

Tried this coconut candy from Malaysia, it has that typical asian coconut candy taste which is different from the coconut sweets we have in the Western countries, the colour is brown and not white.

Ayam Brand™ fried mackerel in black beans

I love fish and black beans so I was expecting this to taste good but the mackerel was hard.
It turns out that this is meant to be for congee, so next time I will try it with congee.

Samudra Pandan cake

http://samudrafood.com/daily_products.htm

Usually Pandan cakes are from Singapore, but this one is was from Malaysia.


When the box was opened there was a really nice strong pandan coconut smell.

The texture of the cake was nice and soft but coarser than the Singaporean version.

A1 Bak Kut Teh Instant Noodles

I love Bak Kut Teh especially because of the strong  herbal smell and taste of dong guai.
However I do not know how to make real Bak Kut Teh so I satisfy my cravings by going to restaurants.
A1 also does a Bak Kut Teh soup pack so their instant noodles are probably not far off.

I have tried instant noodles in Bak kut teh soup but because there was real spare ribs in the broth, I found it quite oily, also the type of instant noodles they used did not match the broth.
When I opened the packet for the A1 Bak Kut Teh instant noodles, I knew I was going to like the noodles, because they were thinner than the usual instant noodles.






















Also when I opened the soup powder sachet, the strong was really strong and I loved it.

The noodles are cooked in the usual way and I prefer to leave them harder to start with so that it soaks the broth when it gets softer.






















The taste of these noodles were truly great but they were quite pricey.

Other instant noodles in this range:

MAMEE cup noodles

Previously tried these instant noodles and now they have a cup noodle version.


The cup was really nice, it was opaque plastic as opposed to PFC or cardboard.



The cup was covered with printed card which could easily removed leaving a nice cup behind.

Inside the cup was a fork with an expandable handle.



The opaque cup reminds me of the special edition one produced by Nissin.
As for the noodles, the texture was quite nice, the noodles were flat and not round in diameter.
