So here’s something I haven’t seen before and it looks like there’s a handful of varieties available locally.
The green packet has powder and liquid, the white has veggies and dehydrated shrimp, and the red was coconut powder! Never seen that before!!!
Before everything got the 2 cups of boiling water for 3 minutes.

Reminiscent of Tom Yum/Yam but different – I think its the coconut powder. The noodles are really nice too – I like it when rice noodles are like this. The dehydrated shrimp was very tasty too I might add. Lots of veggies too! Very nice – Low cost and high quality – 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. Get it here.
[…] These are the only rice noodles on the list – and they’re really good! Excellent flavors including the only powdered coconut packet I’ve ever seen make it a simply wonderful bowl of noodles. Best in its unadulterated form. Full review here. […]
Just stumbled across your blog. Just for your info, laksa is a traditional curry noodles dish that is popular in Singapore. You are correct in that the coconut powder gives the laksa gravy its unique taste, same goes for the dehydrated shrimps.
In Singapore, laksa is served with cockles, prawns and fried beancurd (tau pok). Funnily enough, the variation of instant laksa that you reviewed is not easily found here. I’m not sure if there’s any export of this particular brand of instant laksa in the States but you have to try the one from Primataste. Only downside is that you have to cook it for around 7mins as per instructions. Hope this bit of info is enlightening. Cheers!
Hey thank you for the info! Yeah I’ve never heard of Primataste, but 7 minutes sounds worth it! Any chance you might want to send some this way?
