Acecook 25th Anniversary Black Squid ink instant noodles

Initially I did not notice the special edition cup noodles by Acecook because it was Black and did not stand out on the shelf.
Anyway, the black wrapping was quite classy and it was SQUID flavoured too!
It was the first time I came across squid flavoured cup noodles.

 
 
Inside the box, there was a sachet of liquid sauce and a sachet of condiments containing dried squid and cabbage.

After the pouring away the water in the custom made drainage holes on the corner, the noodles were ready to be mixed with sauce.

Mixing sauce into it

The taste was a bit disappointing because the squid taste was not obvious and the colour was not as black as I hope for squid ink.
