Another tasty Nissin nood. This one is a little fiddly - it has three flavour packets, which is two too many. I tried it just with the soup base powder at first, and it was quite tasty in a chicken and mushroom sort of way. After adding the XO sauce and the packet of "oil", it seemed to me to become over-flavoured, but that may be due to my adding less water than suggested. I liked it, but didn't find it the tastiest or most interesting of the popular seafood flavours, nor the tastiest Nissin. Over fussy, over-flavoured, and - perhaps due to delay in eating with all the packets to open and extract - the noodles inclined to soft vermicelli, rather than the firm and nutty noodles that I enjoy.
XO sauce is a spicy seafood sauce popular in Hong Kong where it originated in the 1980s.
100g for 40p. Made in Hong Kong with a long list of ingredients including anchovy, oyster and shrimp, but no meat or chicken. Amazes me how they can make these noods for the low price when Pot Noodle and Super Noodles cost so much.
Date: March 2014 Score: 5/10
