hi everyone welcome to Lakaz Mwa today the beautiful garden setting is a battleground
it's a war between Haka and Apollo well first off i can notice a bit of a difference while
i was carrying these ones feels chunkier than the other so i had a look the Haka 80 grams and
the Apollo is 85 so anyway i'm going to cook them exactly the same two pots and then burner's going
to try them without knowing which one's which all right so unboxing the Apollo's our familiar friend
here we go this is the curry which is the most popular i love the curry that's
why we're doing a curry-off noodle off and then the Haka huh that's a little sad yes
there's more left in the packet Riki there is yes okay we'll have to reserve the package
oh water boiling noodle one noodle one and it's crumbs and it's crumbs will i know noodle
one by it's crumbs i don't know i'm hoping not because you won't see when you take up when i take
it out the pot it gets in the bowl so you're gonna have a separate bowl for the tasting little bowl
for the testing and then we're gonna zhoosh them up okay cool everybody wants to eat plain noodle
you don't have to do this but
i'm like kind of thinking that you're going to know what's what
oh is this going to be that obvious wow i really thought they would be more
similar but completely different well now it will just have to be a which one is the best tasting
sure drain noodle number one i don't know which one that is but it's definitely one of those two
and we're doing this the way most mauritians do it we think
is you drain it first and then you add the taste
we're gonna add the the curry
adding the curry looks nice yeah looks quite strong maybe we should have mixed it in the water
and mixing oh it smells so nice oh it does smell good oh that's like
real curry smell flavor really does smell like curry hmm
okay noodle number one just so that it confuses me she's gonna put in the same pot as the other
one went into because she couldn't hold it in her hand i know this one's gonna handle
super noodle tossing skills yeah
it's a little bit darker looking yeah
unless the other one looks a little bit more like a curry vibrant
it smells there's more oh no i'm not gonna say it because then you'll know okay
i'm actually gonna have to be blind when i taste these i think you're
gonna have to close your eyes because the color difference is quite remarkable
yeah oh pity i didn't expect it oh now i'm smelling the curry from this one
good Riki is going to put them down and then i'm going to sit blindfolded with my eyes closed
basically yeah you're going to sit with the eyes closed and i'm going to tell everybody which one
is which you're going to close your eyes and ears okay so just in case he was peeking what we're
gonna do a bit of a switcheroo thing it's not for you so the Haka noodles got the white chopsticks
all right how are you going to eat it now with your eyes closed ears out
okay eyes still closed eyes still closed chopstick chopstick bowl oh feel it
got it can you see me i can see you have i got noodle on you you got a lot of noodle on
mmm
well that's really nice i really like that oh how do you get more i think you got it all in one bag
okay that's really nice it's so curry-like oh i like that i do like that chopstick
chopstick noodle noodle
i got some noodle on you got some noodle on
mmm i'm sorry there's Apollo but weirdly the curry on that is much better suppose you're
gonna put your eyes down a little left no i mean that Apollo noodle is an Apollo noodle
yeah you can see it as well that's a really nice curry i mean a really really nice curry
okay so the Haka's got a pretty good sauce a good flavor on it i'd love to try the chili and they
they do say it's more soup noodle they don't say three options like the Apollo okay so you're
supposed to make him but just like that just like that is nice tasted good really nice flavor
it's a little bit more gluey yeah noodle isn't stiff like Apollo i think
you're three minutes and you're done you can't get it anyway let's go elevate i can't wait
this is quite mild the Haka it's good flavor and it's not overly hot the Apollo curry is actually
quite hot even without the chili added the Apollo is quite hot Apollo is by far the better noodle
from a quality of noodle point of view but then i think if you are using this as a soup
noodle this is going to be completely fine because it's going to be surrounded in broth
now it's time to zhoosh them up mine frite or fried noodle yeah with the instant noodles
let's give it a go the original plan was to keep them separate and use them both separately
to see which noodle is the best but gotta be too obvious you gotta know exactly which one is which
so use them together right we're going to keep it quite simple so we've got a bit of oil in there
onion salt
looking wonderful so i'm going to pop in some
garlic ginger and i'm going to say chilli these are the Turkish peppers we bought so these are the
Turkish peppers but they are so hot the guy said you can use it and salad only if you like really
hot salads i'm sure it's really hot oh now that smells good oh man oh yes some chicken so what i
did was i put some a bit of garam masala and a bit of corn flour just to keep that curry theme going
oh man that looks so good
loving the chicken with a little bit of garam masala curry powder this chicken is very um small
so practically cooked yeah it's very quickly
carefully add some of that Haka noodle
ah some Apollo and i don't know why i always do this so carefully because
they always end up being completely separate from their filling
no matter what it seems you do yeah noodle stays with noodles
yeah and all the filling falls out just like on on the streets
you don't want to add them all too quickly otherwise um you can't mix
them properly unless of course you've got a big wok but i have got a a small frying pan
so we've got a small frying pan top tip added slowly oh that is looking great oh
it smells so good though so yeah i know it's probably completely not traditional
but you can do fried noodles with instant noodles a couple of finishing touches
okay lemon juice bit of sesame oil
a little bit of soy sauce
oh doesn't it look amazing oh it really does balance that's lemon juice just a pinch of sugar
oh it smells lovely ginger the garlic the lemon the
sesame the curry the noodles look so rich those are not like Apollo
anymore we're good serving time
great to have a spaghetti spoon around for this sort of thing
and it's the best time actually trying it it seems to work it does
that's pretty efficient this episode brought to you by spaghetti spoon
it's nice with the spaghetti spoon though is that it's it grabs the noodle
and then you can put extra chicken in the top egg for on top
chicken and egg oh look he's happy
where's the smiley face some chilli yes that must be my one then yeah there you go get some footage
yeah i think that way it looks better you're gonna have to fix mine Riki okay
bunny ears
let's eat
chili's for Bryan bon appetite Apollo and Haka together friends friends
that's a good noodle i don't know if it's the actual the manufacturers or if it's what Riki
did to them they're really really yum oh cool what has happened is the Haka has wrapped itself
around the Apollo so it's easier to catch catch them huh because slightly stickier this is
stickier so now you can get more Apollo into your mouth at once unfortunately it was really hot the
first time so the moral of the story is we should all be friends and make delicious food friends
it's nice i like the way it um it makes a little bit more mushy yes that's what i mean to say
yeah wow that chicken is lovely
it goes so well with the noodle and i like a fried egg but i think this might be better i
can't actually decide which is the best they work really well together i know Apollo is the better
noodle but Haka i've got to try it i've got to try it as a soup noodle i think it might be the Apollo
but that's for another day for today it's just nice to have them as good friends on my plate
Haka and Apollo together again oh Rocky and Apollo Creed that's what these guys are like
i should have called themselves Rocky
wow Haka and Apollo proof that mauritius is making great noodles
well anyway everyone thanks for watching see you again next time
