If you did ns during the era of can sardine,  can pork cube, can chicken and can baked bean for combat ration,  you will know got shadow or not.  

 

If you did ns when they were giving out combat ration in reheat bags of rice, then obviously there is no more maggi mee to cook. 

 

I was one of the first batches to get both types of combat ration. 

1988-90 ... hard tack biscuits, canned food and a bar of chocolate. anything extra is ownself bring one ...

The noodle no easy task.How much water to add and cook how long to when take out from wok is tricky.I learned from NS camp auntie.Master it when figuring out the meaning of life.

Never like Maggi. Prefer myojo chicken flavor. Also like myojo bee hoon soto, but portion very small.

 

Nowadays so many different brands. See until cock eye.

 

Never eat for long time liao. At best sporadically.

 

maggi noodles quality dropped alot since the old days ... noodles were springier last time ... now very soft ... no bite-feel.

 

my favorite best texture will be the nissin cup noodles. those noddles are damn springy for a cup noodle ! but have not bought them for a long time as they are getting more expensive for their class.

 

nowadays, will just buy Sedap brand of "mee goreng" ... cheap and quite good, pop in a hotdog and I'm done for breakfast.

Some people get "fiery" diarrhea.   

[Lala81]

i bought this brand of gan-lau-main ...  and boy ! it sucks !! the noodles are so sticky after boiling .... can't really eat them as they bunch up !

 

 

u need to add oil to the boiling water to prevent sticking. And probably you overcooked them.

Bought these from HCM city last month. Finish a few packet already.

 

i have some as well. Bought from NTUC.

But the rice noodles overcook very fast. Must add in later compared to instant noodles.

[Wt_know]

i believe this is in the top 10 list for all bros ...

sometime i have a crave for it and MUST eat ... lol

so always stock up at home especially for lazy Sat/Sun dont want to cook

New Kiki instant noodles a hit

http://www.straitstimes.com/lifestyle/new-instant-noodles-a-hit

 

A brand of instant noodles made popular on social media by Taiwanese actress Shu Qi has caught the attention of consumers in East Asia, from Hong Kong to Singapore.

Say hello to KiKi noodles by Taiwanese restaurant chain KiKi, which specialises in Sichuan dishes and has nine outlets in the territory.

The noodles are touted to be healthier because they are sun-dried, unlike many other types of instant noodles, which are fried.

They come in two flavours - Sichuan Pepper and Aromatic Scallion - and are available exclusively in Singapore through KiKi Restaurant's local partner KiKi Fine Goods Singapore (kikifinegoods.sg), an online retailer.

Each pack of KiKi noodles contains six individual packets of noodles wrapped in clear plastic with a sachet of seasoning.

KiKi Fine Goods launched the noodles here on Aug 7 and sold out its first shipment of 2,000 packs - 1,000 of each flavour - within six days. The next shipment is slated to be available at the end of this month. Each six-pack bag is priced at $13.70.

 

Behind KiKi Fine Goods are Ms Sally Tsai, 49, and Ms Karin Chan, 50, who run event marketing company Ideaholic. They used to operate the now-defunct cafe and cookbook store 25 Degrees Celsius in Keong Saik Road.

The duo first dined at KiKi Restaurant in Taipei, in Yanji Street off Zhongxiao East Road, in the early noughties and fell in love with it.

Ms Tsai said: "We love the restaurant, the food, the people - everything about it."

So, two years ago, when KiKi mooted the idea of starting a series of retail products including its noodles, the business partners knew from the get-go that they wanted to be the ones to bring KiKi's products to Singapore. KiKi's pre-packed noodles were launched at its restaurants last October.

In an e-mail in Chinese from Taiwan, KiKi Restaurant's chairman Yuan Kwan Chuan said the group decided to work with Ms Tsai and Ms Chan because they were on the "same wavelength". The group is also looking to expand to other Asian markets.

On the decision to enter the Singapore market, Mr Yuan said: "Singapore is a cosmopolitan and global city. It has a diverse range of cuisines and cultures, and we hope to use Singapore as a platform to take KiKi's food products international."

KiKi Fine Goods plans to make KiKi noodles available in Malaysia and will also bring in the chain's range of other products, such as its spicy sauce and seasoning powder. It is looking to open a KiKi Restaurant in Singapore with suitable partners.

Each shipment of noodles has to go through tests by the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration before being allowed into Singapore, said Ms Tsai.

This is in the light of 2013's food safety scare, when some Taiwanese starch products were pulled off the shelves here after they were found to be tainted with maleic acid, an unapproved additive which can cause kidney damage if consumed in large amounts over a period of time.

The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) said it now works closely with the Taiwanese authorities to ensure that starch-based food products imported into Singapore are not contaminated with maleic acid.

All such Taiwanese products must be accompanied by a certificate that states that they have been tested to be free from maleic acid.

The AVA said it has not detected maleic acid in starch-based products from Taiwan since 2014.

Diners here are glad to hear that KiKi noodles are safe to eat.

Business development manager June Lee, 39, said: "KiKi noodles have a wonderfully chewy texture. I take it on my business trips overseas for when I crave Asian food.

I'll have what she's having .....

[kykh]

It's a lazy Sunday when my mom and sister are overseas, and I drove my wife and the kids to visit my parents-in-law before I went on my weekly 20km cycling along East Coast Park followed by 7km jogging and some workout in the gym. Wondering what to have for lunch alone, I handed a packet of 出前一丁 together with some celery and tomato to the domestic helper. Whatever health benefits from the exercise probably got compromised by the MSG intake - oops, I should have reminded her to add only half the soup mix that I used to do when I cooked for myself. It's only once in a blue moon that I would have instant noodle nowadays, as my wife considers that unhealthy food. While eating, I thought something was missing, and realized only upon finishing that I should have added an egg  .

I think I am the only one still eating Maggi noodles. I like it plain and with its own seasoning and nothing else. Both chicken and curry flavor. Two packets at a time. If hungry, last time, its three packets one shot.  My wife couldnt believe I love eating it plain and three packets. She hate eating instant noodles plain, must add some stuff to it. For me, I only add chilli padi.

 

And I love the Samyang korean spicy noodle. I can eat two packets at a time. Eating the 2 x spicy pack now. But very expensive, selling at $13.50 for a pack.

 

 

My all time favourite dry instant noodle :
