Another Pop Bihun rice noodle. I cooked the noodles this time, following the instructions, and used a little less water. Cooking the noodles releases a little too much starch for my taste. And using less water increases the impact of the flavour, which isn't necessarily a good thing. The initial taste is pleasant with sharp acidic peaks, hinting at lime, balanced with sweet and salty. Then it becomes a little too heavy and powdery and chemical. At that point I azdded more water to soften the impact, and make the experience more pleasurable. I did enjoy this, though on the whole felt it lacked backbone. I didn't use the chilli powder.
Contains "chicken flavour" which usually means it's not chicken.
The Pop brand is owned by Indofood, which is the largest noods company in Indonesia, with a 72% market share. Indofood also make the Indomie brand.
Score: 6/10
