Here we go with some more Annie Chun’s product! This one’s Vietnamese Pho, a flavor I have enjoyed dining out and dining in. Let’s see how this version of Pho does!
Here’s the back and side panel details (click image to enlarge).
The noodle pack.
Liquid soup base.
Has a nice beef scent.
Another one of these seasoning blocks!
I am so fascinated by these things. The re hydrate so nicely.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added some Apinya Thai Chilli Sauce. The noodles are nice – good chew and very fresh. I found them interesting though as they’re wheat noodles instead of the traditional rice noodles one would find in pho. The broth is really quite good! Nice beef taste and sweet basil and other spices are there – very good! The seasoning block unleashed a lot of nice veggies! All in all, I’m quite enthused! 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 765667100110 – get it here.
Here’s another great one sent by Joe & Gill from the UK! Thank you again! So this is a product geared towards the Polish market and made in Vietnam! Fascinating… Pomidorowa though; what’s that all about? I asked Wikipedia and got this:
Tomato soup – soup prepared on the basis of soup or broth with vegetables. The main ingredient, giving the flavor of the fresh tomatoes or tomato paste . Soup served with noodles or rice , and sometimes even the so-called. zacierką and cast cake . Often used to improve the taste of the herbs, such as basil or parsley parsley and whitewashes cream . It is good for the end to add a bit of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon . Tomato soup consists of a traditional dinner of Polish cuisine [1]
Yep – zupa pomidorowa translates to tomato soup. I expected something a little more fascinating! Well, let’s check it out.
Here’s the back of the packaging.
The noodle block.
Powdered seasoning.
Has an interesting color to the powder I’ve not seen previously. Has a very strong tomato flavor.
Here’s the veggie packet – good size to it too.
Lots of small bits of veggies.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added onion, ham, and a fried egg with a little Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt. The noodles are nice – plentiful and thin. The broth has a nice and rich tomato flavor that is very good. The veggies really shined in this one – lots of them and they add to the broth in creating a nice and fresh atmosphere. This is great! 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 5901882110175.
Here’s the last of the ones my sister brought me back from Hawaii! Minced pork bean vermicelli… Sounds kind of interesting! A very dark day here – wet, cold and windy.
The back of the packaging (click image to enlarge).
The bean vermicelli block.
The powder seasoning packet.
Interesting flavor… Salty and… Not sure!
Seasoned oil.
Has a nice onion and meat kind of scent – should liven things up…
The veggies! I must say that Vina Acecook usually does pretty good with their veggies.
Here’s the veggie mixture – a decent amount and looks nice.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added some ham that I minced with a little Huy Fong Sriracha chili sauce, some onions and some stir fry veggies. The noodles are decent – plentiful and not too hard to break by pursing the lips. Again as always, I recommend using a pair of kitchen scissors on these while still in the pot – just do a few snips and it’ll make a big difference. The broth is good – has a nice comfort food flavor and the veggies are plentiful and interesting. Good pack of bean vermicelli! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 8934563308117
I really like this – a pretty cool overview of Vina Acecook’s company.
I saw an advert in a magazine yesterday for some enormous fans – some 24 feet across! Thought they were pretty awesome – and then the name – Big Ass Fans! How rad! Anyways, here’s a little video story about Big Ass Fans and what they do. Check out the Big Ass Fans website here!
Here’s another ones of the Good line from Vina Acecook. My sister brought this one back to me from Hawaii! Thanks!
Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge).
Here’s the bean vermicelli block.
Powder seasoning.
A decent amount.
Seasoning oil.
Kind of an onion scent.
This one’s soup paste.
I detect some soy with my nose and maybe some sesame?
The veggies.
A nice herb scent.
Four packets – looks pretty cool!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added sweet onions, turkey breast, a little Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake and some Huy Fong Sriracha chili sauce. I used a pair of kitchen scissors and cut the noodles before eating. I know this is done with Korean cold noodle dishes such as naengmyeon, so I figure it’s fine here as well. The noodles are decent – not usually a big fan of bean thread but these are okay with me. The broth was not overly strong but had a nice flavor of chicken and abalone. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 8934563340117 .
Hey it’s a bag of Good! Right there between bad and excellent… Kind of a funny name – let’s check it out.
Here’s the sticker that was on the back.

The bean vermicelli.
Powder seasoning.
Interesting smell.
Here are the veggies!
A couple little pieces of kamaboko in there.
Seasoned oil.
Nice color.
Soup paste.
Dark and thick.
Finished. Added yellow onion, two fried eggs with Krazy Mixed Up Salt and Huy Fong Sriracha chili sauce and some green onions. The bean thread is good. I gotta say that for me, using a pair of scissors to shorten the length really makes a big difference in palatability in bean thread. The broth is nice – has a very strong citrus flavor and a nice heat that accompany a nice seafood taste. I liked this one – probably the best bean vermicelli I’ve tried yet! 3.5 out of 5.0 stars.
