Lucky Me! Instant Pancit Canton Chili-Mansi Flavour

This were strongly wheaty and not that pleasant.

Noodles need cooking for a long time, but do have some wheat flavour. Sauce is vague and needs seasoning. There is a bit of chilli heat, but it's simply that, a sharp edge in an otherwise vague mess. I'm not impressed. And there's not much to eat at the end of it. Cheap, but not good value.

Lucky Me! Instant Pancit Canton Sweet & Spicy Flavour

OK noodles - perhaps a little bland, and a little too firm. Sauce is as it says on the packet: sweet and spicy. There's little real flavour, and no character. Not really impressed with this, especially as there were three packets to open.

Made by Monde Nissin Corporation in the Philippines. It was founded in 1980 by Betty Ang.

Vit's Mi Goreng Pedas

The noodles are a little bland, but the sauce is very savoury and yummy. 30p from Tesco. I think I'll be getting some more of these. A mix of soft onion and peanut butter with some warmth. I enjoyed these.Mi goreng means stir fried noodles; pedas means spicy.

The noodles are made by Vit Makanan of Malaysia. who market themselves as Vit's. They were founded in 1975.

Hankow Style Noodle - Hunan Flavor

The noodles takes a long time to absorb the water, and are OK, but a little wheaty and dry. They are better than British noodles, but the jury is still out on how much I like them. The sauce is great. Lots of savoury peanut butter and sesame seed oil flavours; my hesitation is the amount of chilli. I like a bit of warmth, but this burns the tender parts of my lips and mouth. If the amount of chilli could be reduced, and the noodles could be cooked a little quicker, and be a little less dry, this would be one of my all time favourite noodles. The flavour is intense and oh, so yummy.

It's all veggie, Made in China by the Wuhan Hankow Food Co. A search for "hunan flavor" returns the Hankow USA website, which provides little more detail. Hunan is a province in China, which borders the Hubei province where the city of Hankow forms the larger city of Wuhan. The Wuhan Hankow Food Co. was formed in 1933, and it's unique selling point is that the noodles are not fried.
