Wow it sure has been awhile – repackaging and over 14 years! I thought hey – I’m planning on doing a Definitive Guide to these, why not revisit chicken. My last sampling was review #215. There’s something about these trays that drives me nuts. Now, they’re not designed with the thought that there’s a guy somewhere will be scanning the bottom of the tray. Well, this guy here does and it’s horror. They’re shrink wrap, so they dont want to lay flat and fold over, etc. They also get tons of reflective glare. Anyways, yeah. But whaddaya do. Best ya can. Let’s cook it up!

Detail of the lid (click to enlarge).

An instant noodle block.

A solid ingredients sachet.

A sachet of soup base powder seasoning.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added scallion, chicken, and sesame seed. Noodle has a decent gauge and expected chew. The flavor is a savory salty chicken. The included garnish is pretty good. It’s not bad – sauce coats everything, although a little salty. 3.25 out of 5.0 stars.  UPC bar code 041789007019.
