Endoh’s Dungeon

I think I am getting very addicted to this flavour of CQYD. I have cut down a lot on instant noodles due to the MSG but somehow, I can’t stop for this. In fact, I just bought 3 packs of this and they are my precioussssss for now.

You can’t compare this to the tom yum soup you get outside, those are cooked with very nice ingredients as a complement to the soup base. But, this is very very very close. In fact, I have tried two other instant tom yum mix but they somewhat didn’t taste right. This is the most authentic tom yum taste I have tried, in instant form that is.

Poor CQYD Sesame Oil flavour, it has been banished to the icy cold palace for now. Now I have purple packets of instant noodles all over, it really looked like some kitchen revolution going on. I’m not a big fan of tom yum, because I can’t take spicy food very well. Tom yum is unique because of that sour element which you do not find in most food. I still remember one of the tree-top dinings I had in JB, the tom yum is superb! Even better than those Thai restaurants along Purvis Street.

Ok nvm, it’s past 3am now so having those is out of the question. Well, that explains my quick fix with CQYD tom yum flavour. A word of caution though, watch the amount of water you add when cooking. Too much, it taste bland. Too little, it taste too salty. It needs to be just right.

Also, having the noodles by itself is going to be a little… plain. Try stealing throwing some cabbage, prawns, eggs etc, the flavour might be even better. I was too lazy to wait for the prawns to thaw, so I used luncheon meat instead. Oh dear, it just taste so uberly wrong. So heads up for you, don’t even use luncheon meat with tom yum.

Don’t expect a heavenly feeling from it. Like I say, it’s one of those quick fix in the middle of the night!

If you have not tried this yet, go buy one for yourself? Try it and let me know if you like it.
