Tiger Tiger burning bright. Shall I have your cup Noodles or will they taste like sh*te I am normally the type of person who is stingy and sad enough to pack her own sandwiches for lunchtime. However sometimes I can not be bothered and fancy a change. In the supermarket I am always looking for convenience food that is different and fits the bill. I came across a range of Tiger Tiger Cup Noodles (oriental flavoured pot noodle style snacks) so decided to buy one to keep in stock. They came in a number of flavours including Thai Curry and Tom Yun. I plumped for Thai Spicy satay. I am fan of oriental style food and although I have never really tried ...  Read the complete review

After picking up a quartet of Tiger Tiger noodles for cheap lunch eating, I have started tucking in to them and duly decided to stick up a review. Imagine my surprise, however, to see that there were three existing reviews (including one particularly vitriolic one from the ever talented duskmaiden). From reading the negatives about this noodle based snack you'd think that Tiger Tiger had personally thrown bricks through the windows of some of the lower raters - surely no noodles can justify this level of anger?... *Enter the... tiger?* Tiger Tiger noodles are advertised as 'authentic Thai noodles' and the flavours sounded vaguely ...  Read the complete review

I'll admit that when it comes to making something to eat on occassion I just can't be bothered. I don't like sandwiches either which makes things a bit difficult or restricted around dinner time. I'd never even heard of these before but they were going for 65p up at Sainsburys so I thought I'd give them a try. Although the container is just like your average pot noodle tub, it comes in a box which makes it a bit more bulkier than necessary. This could be down to the fact that it's supposedly an 'authentic thai taste' I opted for the Tom Yum flavour although there was an optional Thai Curry choice as well. It is pretty simple to make, pour in ...  Read the complete review

My disappointment soon turned in to happiness Just a quick word of caution. Whenever you buy a product in a supermarket (or anywhere else for that matter) always check all sides of the packaging. If I had followed this advice when I first noticed these Tiger Tiger Cup Noodles, then I would not have experienced the disappointment that I did when I came to cook them. The flavour that most appealed to me on the shelf was 'Thai Spice Satay Style' because I am a massive lover of Satay flavoured meals and snacks. I was walking up and down the noodles aisle in Sainsbury's looking for anything that took my fancy. Normally I prefer the noodles where you cook ...  Read the complete review

This is one of my favourite brands in London. I come from Asia and cup noodles are a plenty there. Nissin ranks first on my list (available in UK Asian supermarkets), followed by Myojo (not available in UK) and Nong Shin (available in Asian Supermarkets) Generally cup noodles are very easy to carry around and eat where there is hot water available. In Asia, where it is common to have hot meals for lunch, cup noodles are a cheap and fast way of eating. Just fill the cup up with boiling water, leave it to stand for 3 minutes and voila, noodles ready for eating. They come with a small packet of ingredients (dried vegetables usually), and a small sachet of ...  Read the complete review
