Instant Noodle Review

4 - not the fullest of flavoured noodles but very filling for a measly 150 calories and the thread rice noodles are beautifully glassy, so this peppery noodle soup scores pretty well. Dylski

5 - a break from the conventional photo (thanks to flakey Nokia phones) and a welcome break from from the run-of-mill instant noodles. Vietnamese style noodles aways score highly and these peppered beef noodles by Mama are no exception. They left me buzzing with endorphins. Dylski

2 - generic but innoffensive ‘Chewy Brand’ noodle soup. The almost luminescent shiney green packaging only marginally compensates for noodle’s stodgy texture and inability to take up any of the soup’s single-sachet chicken flavouring. dylski

4 - distinctly Vietnamese in flavour. These were yummy. Low in calories too. Dylski

4 - excellent lime aroma Tom Sabb noodles from Mama followed by the mouth-watering sweet sour soup. Dylski

4 - fiercely hot (largely because I dumped the whole sachet of chilli powder in) Tom Yam noodles which were not overpowering in flavour. Another good noodle from Mama. Dylski

0 - looked rather bland and sad from the packaging. Lived up to expectation. Actually exceeded expectations because they are more than bland. The concentrated tomato sachet had no impact on the flavour whatsoever. They are to flavour what anti-matter is to matter; anti-flavour. Even chilli oil could not mask the vile product’s blandness. The pits of instant noodles. Crosse and Blackwell and producer Symington’s Ltd hang your heads in shame, this is a sad day for instant noodles. dylski

4 - quite nice and a funny taste. Finn

4 - the only noodles I’ve encountered with conflicting instructions: a sticker describing a soup preparation contrasted against the original packaging demonstrating the noodles being drained. Followed years of experience and took the soup route and was rewarded with an excellent soup! dylski

3 - pretty good for a generic ‘curry’ flavoured noodle soup*.

*These noodles have two fill lines; a soup line and a lower ‘snack’ level. I used the former.

4 - suprisingly tasty Tom Yam flavoured noodles. Not particularly inspiring on the sachet-front and the noodles aren’t anything to write home about but there was a decent hot and sour taste (not very hot though) and good lemon grass flavour too. A Poundland special - 3 for £1. dylski

4.5 - that was a very nice seafoody taste. It had lots of bits in it like prawns, seaweed, cuttlefish and ‘pollack’, whatever that is. Milo

5 - these taste very nice; not very spicy but are very beefy. They’ve got bits of beef and other things which make them particularly good. Finn

4 - it’s yummy and it’s got bits of meat in it so that’s really nice. finn

4 - very realistic seafood flavour. Little bits of seafood, includes seaweed. Very spicy hot. Milo
