Ko-Lee Instant Noodles Mixed Vegetable









This is a dirty pig. Authentic deep fried noodles (none of your air dried nonsense) sitting in a puddle of dirty washing up water. For all you cooks out there, this goes great with a can of Tennents Super. Perfect breakfast.

Breakfast al fresco



You get three packets of Ko-Lee noodles for a £1 in my corner shop. Net weight 90g per pack. Gone in a flash, and you can eat the other two straight after. That's a three course meal! Munch five pickled onions, and that's your five a day sorted as well.

The noodle packet proudly boasts "An authentic product of Malaysia"; though, while the noods were dried fried in Malaysia, the company which owns the brand - Kohlico, is British. They also own Sawadee brand noods.

This is yer basic Asian nood - cheap and dirty. Though not as filthy as it could be. A little wishy washy - as you might expect from a packet which is flavoured "mixed vegetables".

The cooking instructions (as well as the traditional, open the packet of powdered chemicals, pour on boiling water, stir, wait, stir again and slurp) include cooking on the hob for three minutes and cooking in the microwave in a complex system of stirring and waiting that is just too confusing for your average noodfan.

Don't make it difficult, people - if you have to cook it, then it aint a true nood!

The noodles are great - real wheaty and tasty. Good chewy and satisfying noodles. The sauce is secondary - indeed, quite meaningless: a wishy washy faint savoury flavour. There are three flavouring sachets, which is rather a lot to produce an insignificant flavour. But it's OK.
