Re-Review: Mama Jumbo Pack Pork Flavour Oriental Style Instant Noodles

I’ve been having fun re-reviewing these Mama packs lately – it’s been a while that’s for sure. Here’s another one – pork flavor. It probably won’t be like a Tom Yum kind of thing, so I’m curious how it’s going to taste.

Here’s the back of the package (click image to enlarge). Notice it’s also in Spanish.

The noodle block. The package mentions this is a ‘jumbo’ size.

Dual packets of dry ingredients: chilli powder on the left and soup base on the right.

The chilli powders sits atop of the soup base here.

Here’s the liquid packet.

A paste. It has a very smoky scent to it.

Finished (click image to enlarge). I added stir-fry vegetables, onions, light ham, fried shallot and Apinya Thai Chili sauce. The noodles are good – they don’t gorge themselves on the liquid, rather they get to a certain size and stay put. They have a nice thinness and slight crumble to the chew. The broth is spicy and slightly smoky with a sweet kind of pork flavor as well. They balance interestingly. I like it – 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 052066002061 – get them here.

#798: Golden Wheat Korean Style Pork Flavour Noodle Soup

Here’s a big cup my sister brought me back from Canada this year. Sounds good on a nice sunny day.

Here’s the side panels – click to enlarge.

The noodle block.

The seasoning powder.

Plenty of it.

Liquid base.

Looks like an oyster – kinda…

The veggies!

Looks like a nice little smorgasbord…

Finished. Added onions and a couple dashes of Texas Pete Hot Sauce. The broth was rather greasy and a little lighter of a flavor than I’d expected. The noodles were just plain boring; they didn’t really soak up any flavor. The veggies were okay. 3.0 out of 5.0 stars.UPC bar code 6921555586235 .

Korean pork belly – there’s really nothing like it!
