I had the Itsu Noodle[pot] Thai Original Flavour in January 2014 and absolutely hated it, and so did everyone else. The company have made adjustments and relaunched. The new range was on offer at Tesco for a £1 (normally twice that), so I bought three. The company still has the silly pink spork, but at least now they have a tasty sauce - it tasted fresh, authentic, and warmly spicy. The noodles were not so good. Wiry tasteless plastic. When made up it takes a while before it is cool enough to eat. The instructions suggest adding cold water, and that's a good idea. It's not that the sauce (or soup) is hot, it's that the noodles are really tricky to get into your mouth, and you sort of burn your lips and chin. Not nice. On the whole this doesn't really work because the noodles are so inedible and awkward to eat. Throw away the noodles and drink the soup and it works. But then it's not a cup noodle, it's a cup of soup.
O crap, I just looked at the ingredients, and it's mostly decomposing chicken. Yugh! Come on folks, it is possible to make edible food without using dead farm animals.
Score: 3
