    These are a staple for me atleast once a weeek they dont stock the chicken green curry locally anymore!

    I just put water in the saucepan and empty all the sachet contents into a bowl until it hits the boil then add noodles let them get a little soft and then crack a egg on top for around 3 to 4 minutes and it hits the spot everytime!

    • Gonna try this thanks. Do they still do that mama peper flavour vermacilli. I havnt seen it for a while

      • +1

        Meant to say i empty the sachet into the saucepan and let it boil with the water not seperare into a bowl… the only hard part is getting the egg to stay on top and not slide down the sides thats why i let the noodles cook for like a minute and put less water around 350ml

        Havent seen that flavour only seen the "creamy tom yum" ones which i got from spudshed

    • i do rem seeing them (chicken green curry) in Coles Macq Ctr

  • is mama jama good?

  • Are these comparable to Shin? Or completely different league?

    • +3

      Different flavour/noodles.

      Shin are Korean and thicker noodles.

      Mama are Thai and standard noodles.

    • +6

      Completely different, however, I prefer the Mama noodles.

    • +2

      Different flavour. Mama is more appetizing to me.

    • Keep in mind, Shin has Tom Yum flavour noodles too. I haven't tried them yet.

      • Don't bother. They taste horrid. Nothing resembling Tom Yum at all - just a really weird flavour.

  • +2

    Wish they sold the smaller packets. Can never find them. Used to eat them all the time as a kid decades ago.

      Go to an asian grocery and buy a box of 20

  • I eat a fair bit of instant noodles but havent tried this brand yet. Is the pork one any good?

    • +1

      If you don't like it, I will give you your tree-fiddy back!

    • I prefer pork ones of these over even black shinramyun. The broth is like a consum'e with a light pork taste and the noodles are thinner but nice and chewy. The shrimp tomyun is very citrus-y and refreshing. But i prefer the pork, i would stock up on these.

      If you like Mi-goreng from indomie which packs tons of flavour you may not like these, its very light on flavour and the flavour is more in the soup rather than the noodles.

  • i love the tom yum ones, will be stocking up.

  • Very nice price, I've been eating the mama tom yum since the 90s.

  • +6

    legend has it if you eat all 5 packs in one sitting you'll be fluent in Thai.

  • Is there a chicken one?

  • Is the green curry one spicy? Thanks

    • The tom yum one is spicer but its not bad heat wise your nose runs a little after and thats the worst i cthe pink buldak ones where hotter

  • +1

    Does anyone else eat these noodles raw like a snack or am I weird?

    • I did as a kid during school for recess.

    • You're not weird, but it's cheaper to buy the Mamee noodles (or the Aldi ones), they're made just for eating like this.

  • -5

    all the wrong flavours even if i would eat the pork one

    i like the viet and indo ones generally, japanese ones are pretty good, korean ones are filth

    • This is one of, if not the most uncultured opinion I have ever seen on ozbargain.

      • yeah i didnt expect so many down votes XD - so much for letting everyone have their own taste
        kind of amusing to talk about "uncultured" on a thread about fast noodles, takes one to know one ?!
        indomie and supermi have way more variety in their range of noodles

        yeah outside of kimchi and other pickled goods, korean flavours dont work for me

        thanks for the attention, even if the downvotes have me think i must have punched a granny on the nose

        • +1

          I think they're downvoting your attitude more than your opinion. Apparently tone matters in Ozbargain.

          • @compound: my social skills speak for themselves and probably deserve a downvote or two but yeah it wasnt my intent to be rude.
            all good thanks for pointing it out

        • My comment was more tongue in cheek.

          "Korean flavours don't work for me" and "Korean ones are filth" are wildly different statements.

          You want to get salty and complain about everyone having their own taste after basically trashing everyone who likes these and Korean noodles tastes?

          And if you're unaware, insant noodles form a massive core of Asian culture. Maybe you really don't understand what culture is after all?

          Anyways, some grannys do deserve a punch in the nose sometimes. They're not all loveable oldies.

          • @NoApostrophePlurals: nah i was more chatting, not getting salty, this is internet. Yeah poor choice of words, i must have been half asleep.

            I've probably lived more years in asia than you, even if you were born there, and in more countries than you have cousins, so without meaning to brag i probably do have some culture. I just spend a lot of time working which has isolated me a lot for a bit over a decade in addition to changing places thus leading to the social skill loss.

            asian culture isnt limited to fast noodles and massive may have been a bit of an exaggeration.

            i like to think i am a better person than one that punches grannies but i am not saying you are wrong

            • @juki: I've spent a lot of my life overseas too. I've been to roughly 70 countries. And yes I was born in Asia. Probability of your statement is likely lower tnan you initially thought.

              • @NoApostrophePlurals: what is this? a who pisses further contest ?
                i said live in as in moved to not just "been in", slight difference. i'm also probably much older than what you think too,so i still feel like it was a safe assumption :D
                (i havent counted but to think of it i havent been to korea, did have korean friends for a while however no memories of eating fast noodles with them, but this was early 00s and we cooked food, incl kimchi from scratch)

                • @juki: Lol you started it with your "without meaning to brag". Having been to a country doesn't exclude having lived in it. You love a contradiction. Only you're aloud to not-brag, right? You don't like being wrong? Does this correlate with your social skill regression? Tell me exactly how many countries you've lived in, more than cousins I have? My grandmother had 16 children on my mother's side and 12 on my father's side. Go on, tell me your assumption wasn't wrong.

                  • @NoApostrophePlurals: yeah i genuinely meant i didnt intend to brag, how else would you have phrased it ?
                    if you have been to 70 countries, its a fair assumption that many of those were holidays; i've lived in about 25 countries for at least a year but i didnt expect your family tree to be the size of a millenial oak tree XD.
                    Does anyone like being wrong? i do think i do admit when i am wrong - maybe awkward expression and choice of word is a correlation.
                    you seem to have a pressing need to be right, or maybe you enjoy beating up oldies even over the internet :D (but what would i know, as i said i dont have social skills).
                    anyway lets stop with your next post so you can have the last word, thanks for the chat
