Uni-President The King of Tomato – Instant Noodle Review

We interrupt your regular programming for an impromptu review of Uni-President’s “The King of Tomato” instant noodle/ramen cup.

This cup noodle was taken out of its natural habitat and cooked on the stove with an addition of two eggs. The noodles were ordinary, but the soup was delicious. It had a rich tomato taste and tomato, as you are aware, is rich in glutamic acid, one of the key umami providing compounds in food. Every sip of soup provided a wave of umami flavours to my senses and left me wanting for more. The packet included these little soft egg bits which were a bit weird, a bit fishy, and no substitute for real egg.

A recommendation.

MAMA Tom Yum Goong Instant Rice Noodles Soup Spicy Shrimp Flavour – Instant Noodle Review

This is not commonly known knowledge, but this blog was initially started as a way for me to keep track of Asian grocery snacks that I enjoyed.

I’ve done over 180 restaurant reviews (including those scheduled but not yet published) since then, and yet this will be my first review of something straight out of the Asian grocery store.

MAMA’s Tom Yum Goong Instant Rice Noodles Soup Spicy Shrimp Flavour is quite good. It comes with its own tiny shrimplets but I chose to dress it up a little bit with the addition of some I&J Patagonian Prawns from the freezer. The noodles were cooked on an induction cooker in a saucepan – I’m a big believer in cooking noodles on the stove where accessible. I enjoyed the nice sour tom yum flavour of the dish, and would recommend this for your next soup noodle.
