#637: Snapdragon Pan-Asian Cuisine Chinese Mushroom Rice Noodle Soup

Chinese mushroom cup? Let’s give it a go…

Here’s the side panels. I like the stickers – I’m curious why they re-did thje directions – were they not so easy last time?

Seasoning powder and oil packet on left and a veggie packet on the right.

Ready for boiling water.

Finished. Well, here goes: the noodles were in a word, mushy. They had the right amount of steeping time too. I’m not detracting points though, because this was a nice kind of mushy; the kind you’d like to have with rice noodles in a cup – you can break em off with your lips. The broth is salty and has some hints of mushroom. Very mild and approaching bland, but not quite there. If you’re looking for something light and mushroomy, this is the ticket. As for the veggies, they weren’t prevalent. 2.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC barcode 815055010115 – get it here.

#519: Snapdragon Pan-Asian Cuisine Beijing Vegetable Rice Noodle Soup

Sheesh – almost 20% through the 500’s – didn’t expect that to happen so quickly! So here we have the Snapdragon cup, Beijing Vegetable. I got it locally but if you want to try it you can get it here. These have been pretty good so far – let’s see how the veggies do…

Two packets, three seasonings. The bigger one has the powder and an oil. The green contains the ‘Beijing vegetables.’

Here’s everything sitting atop the rice noodles. Looks nice and decent enough.

Finished and not looking too pretty, is it? Well, the veggie eventually came to the top and looked very nice, so don’t worry. The noodles were nice and light, but the flavor was way too light. I could barely taste anything to be honest. The veggies were nice though. Not extremely enthused though. 2.0 out of 5.0 stars. Find it here.

Looked up Beijing vegetables on YouTube and here’s what I found!

Star Blazers is on YouTube now! Sweet!

#510: Snapdragon Pan-Asian Cuisine Korean Kimchi Rice Noodle Soup

Here’s the second of four of these I got at the new Bellevue Uwajimaya last month.

Two packets – yup again it looks like the Koka seasoning packet! The seasoning has a powder compartment as well as an oil compartment. the green packet is veggies.

Nice ingredients all sitting in anticipation of boiling water.

Beautiful. Very nice level of heat first off. The rice noodles are not of great backbone but are very tasty. The broth is slightly thick and the veggies are abundant. The broth has an oil slick on top reminiscent of Mama brand stuff. Very lovely color and finish. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. Get it here.

Here’s a how-to on how one would make real Korean Kimchi!

#494: Snapdragon Pan Asian Cuisine Tomato Seafood Rice Noodle Soup

I got a few of these not too long ago and so here’s the first of them. The top is a clear cover.

Do these packets look familiar? They did to me. Take a look at my reviews of Koka brand products. Koka is from Singapore, and the back of the cup shows a map with Singapore on it. Interesting. The red packet has powder and oil and the green is veggies.

The rice noodles with everything on top waiting for the boiling water.

So here’s the finished product. It has a nice tomato taste to it and the little shrimps re-hydrated nicely! I liked the noodles, even if they kind of ended up mushy. All in all a nice little snack. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. Find it here.

Here’s a Wai Wai commercial – enjoy it.

A vintage classic for ya…
