MAMA Oriental Style Instant Noodles Tom Yum Pork Flavour





April, 2014
Oooh. Quite a fresh and lively taste to this. There's lime and coriander leaves, and a pleasant sweetness in the finish. Also included are tomato, pork, and peanut butter flavours. As with other MAMA noods, there's no meat in the ingredients. 60g for 28p - made in Thailand. The flavouring sachets were a little different to the others. They were all in a clear plastic packet. Not sure why - that just seems like additional packaging for no reason. Perhaps it speeds things up in the factory. There were three packets, but one was sesame seed instead of chilli powder. I like that, as there is generally enough chilli in MAMA noods for me anyway, without adding more  - and I do like sesame seed. Yeah - quite tasty these.

I just got a case of 30 of these for £3.90 from Tradewinds as they are out of date. That's 13p each. Bargain! I love the zesty lime flavours combined with the sweet tomato flavour (there is no tomato in the ingredients, but the flavour is there), and with a touch of heat from the chilli. Great combination. And the noodles are nice and wheaty. Proper noods. No meats or fish or birds used in production. Easy to make. Quick and nourishing and alive with flavours. Good stuff. As a cooking tip, add a knob of butter. Delicious.

Score: 8

In a taste test face off with Nissin Thai Tom Yum these appeared somewhat inferior in comparison. A little too strongly flavoured, with too heavy a use of artificial flavourings.

Score: 7



Most yummy Tom Yum
