I tried this way back – looks like I reviewed it on Christmas Day of 2014! They’ve changed packaging a bit since then; they used to feature a little info about Malaysia and Penang in particular – but that’s fallen by the wayside it seems. This pack is very interesting as it comes with a ‘free face mask holder’ which I find thoroughly fascinating. I’m guessing in the almost seven years between tastings, this has changed a bit. When companies make things on a large sale, they rely on ingredients from different sources. Those sources may not be able to supply the ingredients they once did, so a new ingredient may be used instead. Also, companies (especially Malaysian ones) like to update their recipes often. Let’s give this one a try – and check out that mask holder!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added fishball, soft egg, black sesame seed, fresh mint, spring onion, crushed red pepper, fried garlic, and mung bean sprouts. The noodle is plump and engorges itself on the soup base aptly. The soup has a strong cumin hit and a nice oiliness. Really savory stuff which I found very nice. I wish it were a little spicier as I did back in 2014, but still just wonderful. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 850248004175.
