    Cool packaging

    Schezwan sauce, not to be confused with Szechuan..

    • +3

      Schezwan, Szechuan and Sichuan are simply the different spellings of Sichuan

        Or Shinchan.

        • Let's be fancy and call it tesserapotamia

  • LOL

  • I'm curious if this is really good or really bad but I have my best on bad.

    Never heard of this brand looks like a quick attempt at getting into the instant noodle market.

    • Taste wise, it’s not good enough. But for a dollar, what to complain? Just add extra seasoning at home to make its taste better.

        Well I have been trying to find bulk quantities of indomie mi Goreng for ages now so I don't have to go through 10 pieces of packaging just to make a few packs worth but so far I can only find the dark soy sauce, noodle cakes and fried onions.

        The bumbu seasoning and other ingredients evade me I haven't been able to find like a container of the stuff yet but when I do it will be a game changer.

        Can just batch cook a few days worth then store it in the fridge and reheat as needed.

        That's the plan so far at least.

        • I'm curious to why you are looking to batch cook instant noodle. Do you like it that much?

            @beoluch: It is not my everyday meal but when I make it I like to make a big size of it and eat it over a few days.

            The current method is fine but I go through a lot of packaging and have to put all the sachets into small bowls of water to clean all the oils in it before I bin it.

            It is not healthy, it is not my favourite meal but where I live it is honestly on par with some restaurant meals for about 10% the cost.

            So it is a nice option to have that I can pull out when I get desperate and just want something to help me get to sleep or whatever stave off that hunger.

            I have a bunch of other recipes up my sleeve this is just one that I found was really good especially during the winter months in the mountains.

            During summer it is ok but cold water is best there :)

              @AlienC: Sounds like you live in the Himalayas lol. Jokes aside, you can give maggi seasoning sauce a try. Maybe mix in a bit of sesame oil at the end too for some nutty kick.

              • @beoluch: Have tried both not the same but close hehe man I wish.

                I would not mind living somewhere nice and cold lol as long as I can bring my layers and layers of warm clothing and blankets.

                But yeah sesame oil adds an interesting flavour but not for me.

                One day I will be bothered to try send the Indomie head offices a proper email to consider selling the ingredients separately and in bigger bulk packages because I am sure others would not mind making their own at home with their own portioning.

                And there has to be a way for everyone to win not just the consumers i.e the company keep making the same if not higher profits everything considering.

    We tried these and I didn't like them - Singapore curry and the chili garlic flavours.
    Product of India FYI

    • If it tastes curry, definitely not Sichuan

    • +1

      Chings noodles are a product of India? Definitely didn't see that coming lol

  • Any review

    Indian recreating Asian flavours? Yeah nah that ain't going to work

    • +3

      I think India is part of Asia?

      • Just saying is bit of mismatch in taste of flavours by Indian.. It could well be catered for Indians though so might taste good for them.

      • +1

        Technically part of Asia but not what most people mean when they say "Asian" food etc
        However it IS what British people mean..

        • LOL ah the british such nice people but also sometimes super obliviously racist people but they don't mean it I think.

    • agree.

      try a banana pancake in thailand made by an indian - it's just not the same!

      #supportlocal

    • As someone who lives and hangs around a lot of indians who love to cook everything it is hit or miss but sometimes very much a miss you just gotta guide them or at least I do with my limited semi asian hand.

  • Tried three flavours but they didn't taste good at all

  • +2

    I tried the hot garlic flavour. In it were several noodle cakes (not indivudually wrapped), the flavour sachets were all linked together in a chain and you tear one off to make the soup. There was no sesame / vegetable oil nor dehydrated veg to add either, all you get is the flavouring powder.

    Taste wise it's not the worst but mediocre / boring is the best way to describe it.

    Packaging looks cool though and that guy in that all-white SciFi armor looks like it might've been a failed Marvel Avengers audition candidate. or maybe he's the indian version of Commander Shepard in Mass effect. 10/10 for packaging originality, 4/10 for taste.

    Quite surprising that they'd have the balls to use something that's known as an obvious racial slur as a brand name.

    • i thought this too but then realised it's missing the 'chong', or it doesn't have the special-K so it slides through un-noticed. but then if you think of a comparison in a business name such as "Dings Doorbells" - you would automatically assume that they sell a Ding Dong sounding doorbell!

      but i've spent way more time analysing a picture of noodles today that I don't intend on buying 😂

      Ching is a reasonably common surname - how it it racist?

      • it's almost racist - and for some people that's enough 😂

        • I know Chang's sauces - you see them in every supermarket. So Ching's noodles didn't make me think anything like that. The only weird thing was that they are made in India. Which I reckon is pretty weird considering how completely and obviously Chinese the name sounds

  • Anyone know where I can get the Ching's Schezwan sauce? I have tried pretty much all Indian stores…
