MAMA Instant Noodles Yentafo Flavour




Very pink! Sweet with some faint fish flavours. Yentafo (or yen tafo or yen ta fo)  is the Thai version of the Chinese yong tau foo, essentially a clear soup with a variety of ingredients. It apparently originated as a restaurant dish in the early 1970s - at that point it was tofu stuffed with meat and fish paste.

I thought this was OK, but perhaps lacking in impact, and just a bit too sweet. Seems that MAMA flavourings consists mainly of sugar, salt and chilli. I kinda like that for a while, but after eating a series of MAMA noods, I'm beginning to tire of the sweetness.

These are very yummy. Sweet and spicy with an exciting warmth that never prickles or overheats. Pleasant tomato flavour. Good noodles.  Contains shrimp but no meat.
