[Review] Naked Noodles Cantonese Hoisin Duck

Naked Noodles have been around for a few years.
Tried the Cantonese Hoisin duck which didn't impress because it was strangely spicy and tasted more Indian than hoisin with the cloves.

Ingredients:
Dried Egg Noodles (71%) [Durum WHEAT Semolina, EGG], Sugar, Potato Starch, Flavourings (contain BARLEY, SOYA), Soy Sauce Powder (1.7%) [Water, SOYA Beans, WHEAT, Salt], Dried Carrot (1.1%), Dried Spring Onion (1.1%), Garlic Powder, Colour (Plain Caramel), Tomato Powder, Chinese Five Spice [Salt, Star Anise, Sugar, Onion Powder, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Clove, Fennel Seed, Ginger, Garlic], Ground Ginger, Onion Powder, Maltodextrin, Salt, Citric Acid, Palm Oil

[Review] Naked Rice Chinese Char Siu Long Grain Rice

Naked Noodles have been around for a few years.

Spotted the Naked Pot Rice series and there were so many interesting flavours: Katsu, Bibimbap, Sriracha, Malaysian curry, Szechuan Sweet & Spicy Rice and the Chinese Char Siu.
At Morrisons, they were promoting them for 75p which are usually 1.25 which prompted me to try the Naked Rice Chinese Char Siu Long Grain Rice.
I liked the way, there are three fill lines.
Recommended, Intense flavours for the not so adventurous.
To be honest, if you put too much water, it is going to be soupy but as I like my rice like risotto, I filled the water to the line just below the recommended to get intense flavours.
Before I added water, I rattled the cup and the grains of rice were light like puffs which means it doesn't need much water to soften.
It was really similar to this Korean Pot Rice that I tried earlier but forgotten the name.

When the rice was ready to eat, the smell and taste was just like char siu sauce so it definitely redeemed itself so I will try the other flavours.
I loved the way you could taste the finely chopped spring onions and the Chinese spices along with the slightly charred char siu aroma!
From the ingredients, it is definitely vegetarian so vegetarians can give it a try.

Ingredients:
Dried Rice, Maltodextrin, Potato Starch, Palm Oil, Flavourings (contain SOYA), Sugar, Soy Sauce Powder [Soy Sauce (Water, SOYA Beans, WHEAT, Salt), Maltodextrin, Salt], Dried Spring Onion, Tomato Powder, Dried Red Pepper, Colour (Plain Caramel), Garlic Powder, Ground Ginger, Chinese Five Spice (Salt, Star Anise, Sugar, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Clove, Fennel Seed, Ginger), BARLEY Malt Vinegar Extract Powder.

I also tried the Katsu curry and Szechuan Sweet & Spicy Rice.
The Katsu curry was really tasty while the Szechuan was sweet and spicy as advertised with hints of tomato and peppers.

[Review] Morrisons Beef and Tomato Noodle Pot

As with all other supermarkets, Morrisons has their own range of noodles like pot noodles, flavoured noodles etc.



Previously tried Morrisons Bacon Noodles so while I am at it, I might as well try the noodle pot range which are inspired by pot noodles where you get a sauce sachet in the pot.

Sometimes I do videos but this time I didn't which was a pity because what are the chances of not getting a sauce sachet in the pot which has never happened with all those pot/cup noodles that I have reviewed.

Anyway, the lid was really thin that it curled when I peeled it back.
The contents were fuller than normal but somehow I was turning the pot to find the sauce sachet and I couldn't.
I even poured the contents into another pot and the sachet was not at the bottom.

Since there was no sachet, I just added hot water like you normally do.
The lid which curled up earlier did its job when the steam from the noodles rose up and uncurled so it was able to cover the contents while you wait.
I liked the way the noodles were short strands which makes them spoonable and easy to eat.
As for the taste, it was rather bland and the sauce was thick and sticky yet the noodles were still rather white in the sense you could see the carrot pieces clearly.

Overall, these noodle pots tasted really similar to Tescos noodle pots which I won't be buy again but I will buy Morrisons Savers noodles to compare to their regular noodles.

[Review] Batchelor Super noodle Pots Chicken and Beef

I love Batchelor Super Noodles and now you can get the pot version.
Tried the pot version of curry and bacon a while ago which was quite nice.

There is now BBQ Beef and Chicken so tried them as well.

Batchelor Super noodle Pot Beef:










I prefer the BBQ beef as it tastes stronger while the chicken was a bit bland.
Compared to Pot Noodles, I find Super Noodle Pots lighter and the sauce is rather viscous.

[Oyatsu] Mini Cup Noodles

Obviously I was attracted to these [Oyatsu] Mini Cup Noodles because of the cute little size.

There are two flavours: Salt and Tonkatsu.
Although they look small, when you peel the lid back, the noodles go almost to the top.

Both flavours were impressive because I loved the noodle texture which was soft but didn't break easily.

[Nissin] Sukiyaki Big Cup Noodles 98g

I noticed these cup noodles because of the picture of the egg with a runny yolk.

It turns out these cup noodles are sukiyaki flavoured so I am guess adding an onsen egg would make it taste better.

When I peeled the lid back, I was amazed to see lots of huge spring onions pieces and bits of beef that looked very dark in colour compared to other Nissin Cup noodles.

There was a lovely beef and onion smell when I poured hot water in it and evidently the broth was dark.


The Sukiyaki flavour in cup noodle form was definitely delicious as it was like noodles in a strong beef and onion broth.

The sachet gives it a more beefy flavour if you squeeze the lard in.

[Nissin] Ippudo Spicy Tonkotsu Flavour (AKA) Instant noodles

Ippudo is a famous ramen joint with restaurants all over the world.
The ramen there has a good broth and I like their extra thin noodles.

I discovered these Ippudo cup noodle series by Nissin so I got the Ippudo Spicy Tonkotsu Flavour (AKA) Instant noodles.

On the lid, there is a sachet of Black Garlic Oil.

I tried a bit on its own and it was just garlicky.

After peeling back the lid, the noodles looked promising because they were thin and there were lots of seaweed and dehydrated meat slices.
The taste was ok but I preferred the creamy [Nissin] Ippudo Tonkotsu Flavour.

As well as the Spicy Tonkotsu, there is also [Nissin] Ippudo Tonkotsu Flavour Shiro Instant Noodles:

[Nissin] Ippudo Tonkotsu Flavour Shiro Instant Noodles

Ippudo is a famous ramen joint with restaurants all over the world.
The ramen there has a good broth and I like their extra thin noodles.

I discovered these Ippudo cup noodle series by Nissin so I got the Ippudo Tonkotsu Flavour Shiro Instant Noodles.


On the lid, there is a sachet of Pork Flavoured Oil.

I tried a bit on its own and it was too garlicky for my liking.

After peeling back the lid, the noodles looked promising because they were thin and there were lots of seaweed and dehydrated meat slices.

I am not so much of a fan for meat but I love seaweed.

After adding water, the broth looked white and creamy, the taste wasn't too salty and it was slightly thick and creamy.

I only added a few drops of the pork oil because it seemed to taste better without.

Anyway, perhaps I am quite biased but I really liked these noodles.
In this series, there is also [Nissin] Ippudo Spicy Tonkotsu Flavour (AKA) Instant noodles
