Hong Kong Nissin’s new black pepper crab cup noodle

Discovered two new Nissin cup noodle flavours: Black pepper crab and Chili crab.
Both seem to be inspired by Singapore as shown on the label.

Black pepper crab:


Tried this one first because I wasn’t sure how hot the Chili was going to be.
I liked the black cup design and there were some instructions, which say that you can microwave it.
In the cup noodles you can see some dehydrated purple onions, very fancy!

The noodles were ready to eat quite soon after pouring boiling water and didn’t need microwaving.
As for the taste, it had a strong black pepper taste but you can’t really taste crab in the broth.

Other flavours in this series Chili crab.

Phillips pasteurized crab meat

Saw some crab meat that was ready to eat.

Before opening the can I did not know it was pasteurized and could be kept for 18 months under proper refrigeration.

There were two types to choose from: Claw meat or crab meat, so I chose the crab meat.
When I opened the can the crab meat was relatively fresh and the unami taste was still present.
I didnt take a picture of the packaging but on the bottom it was clear plastic and on the top it was a normal ring pull lid.

Overall quite a convenient product for those who would like to eat crab without the need of removing the shell and you can choose the preferred part of crab meat too.

7-SIGNATURE Lobster and Tobiko salad sandwich

7-SIGNATURE Lobster and Tobiko salad sandwich 龍蝦蟹籽沙律三文治

Apart from trying the Crabmeat and Mentaiko salad sandwich (http://supersupergirl-food.blogspot.com/2012/04/7-signature-mentaiko-and-crab-meat.html), this was the other one I wanted to try too.

It had much more filling compared to the other one.

I felt that there was some confusion with the Chinese labelling and English because of the Tobiko.
Tobiko (とびこ, in Japanese) is the Japanese word for the flying fish roe used to create certain types of sushi.
But the Chinese description said 蟹籽 which is not tobiko.

Anyway, the lobster and tobiko filling is peach coloured and most probably food colouring.
The filling was quite soft and puree like.
I found it really sweet and the lobster was tasteless.





7-SIGNATURE Mentaiko and Crab meat salad sandwich 明太子蟹肉沙律三文治






















I was attracted by these sandwiches because they were not the usual boring ones.
The one I got was Mentaiko with crab meat and salad and the other one was Lobster and crab roe.

The sandwich tasted great but the filling could have been evenly spread, the first side had a corner that had no filling and when I had the second half of the sandwich there was less filling on that side as well!
But overall, the colour of the filling and the cucmber was nice and it tasted like western prawn cocktail salad even though it was crab.
The only downside was that it was too sweet and there was not enough filling.

Nissin crab flavoured cup noodles

I never thought I would be writing a review on Nissin's cup noodles because they are commonly found on the shelves of supermarkets and at Chinatown overseas.
Anyway, it tastes OK, but nothing like a British Pot noodle!

The noodles are thinner and so is the consistency of the soup.

There are dehydrated sweetcorn, surimi crabmeat, seaweed and and cabbage.

SAVOURY CEREAL!!! Quaker Hokkaido cereal - Crab Flavour



























Although the packaging looks Japanese, it is actually a Taiwanese product!
桂格北海道鮮奶麥片(干貝帝王蟹味)In UK, the quaker products we find are sweet only, but then I found some savory ones like fish and chicken.
Basically it is meant to be an oat version of savoury rice porridge (congee).



































When I opened the sachet, I could smell the creamy milk powder a signiature smell and ingredient for something that represents Hokkaido.
Luckily the taste was savory and not sweet.
The crab porridge was very creamy due to all that milk powder in it. There were a few flakes of cereal because it is a "so called" healthy product.
But if you compare Western quaker products and Asian quaker products, the Western ones are healthier, there are more proportion of real oats in it. Whereas the Asian ones contain reconstituated cereal which is not even healthy.
As for the crab porridge, it was like chowder soup. Also the Asian cereal contains alot of creamer.
There were bits of dried scallop to inmitate the crab. not as if they will really put crab in it!!
