Hello girlfriend and welcome to another episode of Tried and Tested.
Today we are going to be trying out some interesting cup noodles.
For the ones that are not available in Singapore, we got them from Airfrov which is an app where
you can get people who are travelling overseas to buy back stuff that's not available in
your home country.
And you should stay till the end of the video because we’ll be doing something really
special, it’s something I’ve been obsessed with for a while.
If you follow me on my Instagram you’ll know what I’m talking about and
ya you should really watch to the end of the video.
So these are the Nissin guilt-free cup noodles and they come in 3 flavours.
The green one is spicy pork, the red one is pork shoyu and the blue one is creamy seafood.
These are supposed to have a stronger taste and a thicker soup than the original cup noodle
but at the same time contained 50% less fat 40% less saccharides and 176 calories.
And also the newly developed noodles are supposed to be not fried and higher in fibre.
So what we're gonna do is save these for you guys and then eat this one so you stay tuned
for the giveaway at the end.
So this is the creamy seafood Nissin cup noodle.
This doesn't look too different from a regular Nissin cup noodle.
The seafood smell is very strong.
I don't usually like to fill it to the line cause I like the soup thick.
See how it's looking.
Oh, that smells quite creamy.
A bit like corn soup or something.
Okay so for this right, like I haven't had a lot of Nissin cup noodles but it does taste
like the noodles they feel slightly thinner.
The soup is very strong to me.
If you're thinking like low calorie that means like they've cut down on all the taste and
the flavour and the deliciousness I don't feel that at all like this if you just told
me it was a regular cup noodle I would totally be like oh yeah okay I get it.
The only thing is that this thing does not taste like creamy seafood.
Like really the best I can give it is like a slightly cream corn soup.
But it's also not very creamy at all.
So in terms of being a creamy seafood cup noodle, I would give this
1 because it's neither
creamy nor seafoody to me but in terms of being a cup noodle with like lower calories
and less saccharides and all of that stuff but still having flavour I will give this
like an 8/10.
Chicken nuggets and fries instant noodles.
Now chicken nugget, fries and instant noodle are not a combination that you normally see
but Nissin has managed to do that and also this is called the big cup noodle because
in terms of size you can see big, regular.
I see the nuggets and I'm assuming that these are the fries.
Feel like chicken nuggets and fries...I mean it's a bit of a stretch.
Okay don't say..don't say...okay okay...
Alright, let's try this.
Tada! Wow!
The chicken nuggets have rehydrated, everything has expanded.
I'm gonna try the nugget first, I'll bite this in half because I'm very curious to see
what it looks like inside.
So if you think about chicken nugget then you cut very small piece then you kinda like...
I don't know...freeze it and like dehydrated or something.
It tastes like a very small not juicy chicken nugget.
Okay so the texture is not really like meat, it's kind of more like a hard sponge.
But there is some chicken flavour in there and I guess like cause normally cup noodles
you don't get the kind of stuff you can really bite into apart from the noodles so
it's nice for added texture I think.
Okay, let me try this potato...I mean the fries.
Okay, like it really tastes like a potato but it's a very mushy potato.
Again I'm not very surprised but it's like when you say fries,
you don't expect mushy potato like with no kinda thing on the outside right.
But at the same time, I also know that I just pour a whole lot of water into this so what
am I really expecting...you know what I mean.
Maybe they should call it chicken and potato cup noodles and not chicken nuggets and fries.
You know expectations people.
Okay, let's try this.
That is really good.
So this is like a slightly better version of a regular chicken cup noodle I think
because it doesn't feel like it's just salt you know what I mean.
There are some flavours in there.
7...6,7 out of 10.
I mean it's alright.
If you are really expecting chicken nuggets and fries then, of course,
you're not gonna be happy with this.
But if you do realize that it's an instant cup noodle
that you pour water into then it's okay la.
I mean it's nice to have bits in your cup noodles.
This is the sriracha stir-fried spicy cup ramen.
Sriracha is like an Asian hot sauce and this is like a dry instant noodle
which is my favourite type of instant noodle.
The level of spiciness for this is like a 2, which I think would be just nice for me.
So inside you have the sriracha, then you have that little I think chilli flakes inside.
So for dry noodle, you're supposed to cook it first and drain out the water and then
put in the sauce.
Oh, that's a lot darker than siracha sauce right.
Sriracha sauce like it's always like kind of a bright red.
There was some fear that this was just sriracha in a packet but it looks like it's not.
So exciting, are you ready for this.
Does not smell like sriracha at all.
Like right now it just smells like hot noodles.
I don't know how I feel about this.
There's something about it that tastes really weird and plasticky.
Okay so it's hot like there is flavour and it's like a bit sour which is kind of what
you get with sriracha like a bit tangy and sour.
But there is something that just really tastes like plastic.
Ya!
No!
Like okay, the noodles are good because they're really nice and firm and chewy and QQ.
It's weird it's like this flavour but I don't know what the favour is but overall there's
just this weird artificial plastic taste that I really do not like so hmm... no not feeling it.
I would give this like a
2 out of 10.
This is Uni-President man Han Feast beef noodles from Taiwan.
And this supposedly contains real beef from New Zealand and Australia and a lot of people
say that this is the best instant noodles in Taiwan.
Okay, so and can I just say I really love all those dragons on there.
So imperial!
Okay, so we got our little packet.
This is the packet of beef and then this is the flavouring and then we have chilli like chilli paste.
So we put the seasoning whoa it smells a bit herby doesn't smell spicy.
Okay, let's cook!
Okay, so I guess you're supposed to mix this in first and make sure all the noodles are
covered and then you put the beef packet on top cause it can help warm it up.
So don't open it and put the beef inside.
You want to put the beef packet on top, warm it up and then you tear it open and pour it in.
Wow, that looks good man.
Now I'm adding the beef.
Oh, that's yum.
Oh wow!
So this really looks like a real piece of beef which is quite impressive.
It smells so good okay let's try the beef.
I mean it tastes like beef.
Look for instant food I think it is quite impressive.
Okay so let's try the noodles.
It's like it's got this nice oily coat on it that is really really good.
It got a meaty brothy slightly spicy taste and that's yummy.
Like the noodles are very obviously like instant noodles type of noodles so apart from the
noodles the broth, the soup actually doesn't taste like an instant soup.
Like I could imagine being served this outside.
Really, the winning thing for this thing is really the broth.
It's so delicious and it's a bit spicy.
There are really many dimensions to this soup and it is very impressive for cup noodle.
Like if you serve this to me like at a hawker centre or something, I'll be like yeah that tastes so good.
Okay, I kinda wish that the noodles were a bit more special to kinda like match the specialness of the soup.
I know the beef is supposed to be the star of this dish but to me, the soup is the star of this dish.
I would buy for the soup, I might not even use the beef.
Maybe I'll pour the sauce in but might not eat the beef.
I will add my own stuff, I would throw in luncheon meat.
Okay, so I will give this a 10 out of 10 cause it's really so good now if the beef were like
amazing and the noodles were amazing, this would be a spectacular dish so I'll give a
spectacular out of 10 but it's not, but it's still a 10.
So this is the Nissin Donbei curry udon and is really not common to see a Japanese curry
udon in a cup noodle form.
Excited to try this, inside we do have our little packets.
Okay so for the noodles they are different from their standard cup noodles because they are thicker.
Alrighty, let's try this out.
That does smell like curry.
Hey, what's that!
Okay, what is this?
Let's try this.
Wow, that actually really taste not bad.
It's pretty good.
The udon is really nice and chewy, so that's nice.
It's like springy a bit like, okay mochi is pushing it but it is like chewy and that I
really like the texture of that.
The curry is very flavourful.
Oh, I wanted to know what this was.
I think that this is supposed to be this.
I think it was supposed to be beef.
Hey!
It feels a bit like beef like stir-fried sliced beef that's the feeling but when you get to
the end of it, it doesn't keep feeling like beef.
It doesn't keep that texture all the way through. It's not bad, actually it's a really hearty
bowl of noodles.
This is like great comfort food, is something you would want on like a cold day.
So as a cup noodle I really like this especially because of these like lovely chewy noodles
so I would give this like a 9 out of 10.
This is the Apeach Samyang cup noodles.
This is the famous fire noodles that have been going around but this is a special limited
edition with Kakao friends and this character is a popular one called Apeach
I think that's how you pronounce it.
This is also a carbonara version and inside they have Apeach flakes.
So this is the special part that we were talking about earlier on.
I have actually been super like obsessed with ASMR.
All I want to listen to now are like people eating and it's actually also why I started
slurping my noodles because that feeling is just oh my god, so good.
So now we are going to do an ASMR video with Apeach.
Excuse me.
I love this so much it's so good.
It's really hot like I can still feel my tongue burning but the cheesiness is delicious and
actually, you know what, I kinda wish there was a little bit more cheese so there'll be
even more of that carbonara effect.
Overall super amazing, the flakes I mean is cute, can I just say like when they're all
red like that don't they look a little bit evil, you know what I mean they're like laughing at your pain.
The noodle texture is really good like I think I really like Samyang noodles because I like
how QQ they are and how bouncy and chewy and just got a nice bite you know and the seasoning
is just so good.
That heat it's hot like this is hot but you can still taste it which is what makes want
to go back and eat some more except that everytime you eat some more it gets like your mouth
starts to burn even more but it's like so delicious this is sweet torture.
I love this.
I would give this like a 10 out of 10
and if there was even more cheese like it would be cheesetastic.
You know what, get 2 and then pour both the packets of cheese in it that would be so good.
