^ The yellow packets are more mild. My brother could never handle silver packets so we always had a storage of both.

Has anyone found an ant (or more!) in their instant noodles before?

When making instant noodles i never put that oil or the chili powder in. EDIT: actually sometime i do put the chili in, but it's just a pinch. never the whole packet.

*ahem* .... since this is an instant noodle thread and my question is about ready cooked food , i ll ask it here .... so here s the deal : i didn t manage to make Katong laksa myself, but only indian/malaysian tasting laksa... so i bought Yeo s laksa paste ...since it s a Sporean brand i figured the laksa you should be able to make w/ it should taste like Katong laksa... but how on earth do i use this paste do i add boiling water and rice noodles to it ? do i add coconut milk ? how do i use this supposedly ready-made-makes-my-life-easier paste ? anyone ? Okay this is probably a bit late but you need to prepare the 'laksa soup' by adding some stock to the boiling water and adding as much paste as you need to the amount of water you have. Add coconut milk when the soup is nearly cooked. You should soak the vermicelli noodles beforehand, separately. You never cook it with the soap, because you pour the soup over the noodles. I had to edit coz my spelling is really bad.

Kenny only complains when I take the bowl away. Start em' the younger the better! My 6 year old cousins are chewing chillis that make my eyes water and running for milk. Milk is one of the best cures in my opinion.

^Yeah, milk does neutralize the chili's pepperiness. Your cousins are hardcore.

i just forgot my instant noodles in boiling water and their ratio/noodle circumference (if such a thing exists) turned out 5 times as big as they normally should !!!! they just kept swelling and swelling and swelling !!!! these are some tremendously chubby noodles !

^^ Not sure if you can get the Prima brand of pre-packed Singapore food gravy bases in France, but I tried the laksa gravy made from Prima at my friend's and it was almost like the real thing. Best I've had so far. Prima actually has a restaurant here in San Jose, California. I haven't gone yet, but I think they use their own pre-packed stuff for their restaurant dishes. Hmm....here's their website www.primafood.com.sg/Doesn't appear that they have retail outlets in EU. Maybe you can get one of your friends/relatives in Singapore to mail some over to you.

The Sunlee instant noodles Crab flavour is rather tasty! I think someone earlier talked about eating the noodles uncooked. Have you guys had Mamee then? It's instant noodles but meant to be eaten uncooked. Here's the description on wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamee

RollingBlah, it's been a while, welcome back! The Prima Food website has a fantastic range overall especially the Best Singapore Favourites, I'm sure my brother will love the Bak Kut Teh pack! ;D Just noticed that two of the local Chinese supermarkets stock their products here according to Prima Food's website, will have to check them out ;D I used to buy the Mamee noodles from the breadman van that came down my house street in Singapore when I was small. Although I preferred the very orangy coloured crisps from his range of snacks, does anyone know what name of the crisps?
