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 flavouring.

Tiger Tiger does get the flavours right. There is tom yum, hot and spice chinese style, thai satay and thai curry. I have tried the tom yum so far and they taste pretty much like the tom yum flavour instant noodles that I get in Asia. The noodles are springy, the tom yum stock tastes the way it should in the usual tom yum cup noodles and best of all, the volume is just nice to fill me up. They do usually go for 99 p but it is cheaper in larger Sainsbury at 89 p.

I love eating this cup noodles on a cold winter day! Fills up my tummy very nicely. I won't recommend eating this too frequently though. The small sachet of flavouring does contain quite a bit of MSG. There is also too little vegetables inside to be healthy.
