How the noodles taste

This is more of a late-night-snack kind of instant noodle — it fills you up without quite as much guilt. After the usual 3-minute soak, the noodles come out on the thin, soft side, a bit more springy and chewy than your average Prince Noodles, but definitely not bad. The broth sits somewhere between chicken soup and corn chowder: it has the richness of corn chowder with just a hint of chicken-soup flavor. Drink enough of it and a slight spiciness lingers at the back of your tongue, along with a salty-sweet note — not exactly jaw-dropping, but not boring either. The cup itself is paper, so you don’t have to worry about burning your hands when you hold it, and they even thoughtfully tuck in a little fork. That said, I think the sodium in this bowl runs a little too high, so you might want to think twice before digging in.

Hey hey hey — you’ve made it all the way down here, so why not hit follow? That’s how you get to catch the rest of these 😄
