You can tailor the taste of your Tiger Tiger noodles with separate flavour sachets. If you don’t like it too hot, no problem, just leave out the chilli sachet. Want more chicken flavour, add all the chicken sachet. Make the noodles just as you like them.
probably not as good as Koka as those are made and sold in Singapore. I've never tried tiger tiger noodles but seeing that I've never seen it in southeast Asia it's probably a westernised version of the taste

The Koka Spicy Stir Fry noodles are the bomb. Hottest packet noodles packet I've ever had! Although I honestly think the main reason imported Asian noodles taste better than UK made ones is because of the added MSG (which is fine with me as I cook with it a lot these days!), some of them also have ridiculous amounts of salt.
I tried the Singapore Chicken flavour of these tonight and they are pretty damn good. Comes with 5 sachets of sauces and spices which surprised me :laughing: The soy sauce is a little odd though as it has brown sugar and other ingredients in it, so it's more like a Marmite texture... literally impossible to squeeze out of the sachet unless you dissolve it in a little hot water!
It has a real nice kick when you add the chilli.
8/10 from me. Shame the BB is February...

:wink: Maggi Masala flavour imported from India is pretty good too. Continue to work on your tolerance and you can start trying more types of flavours. UK made ones cannot really compare with the imported noodles as the taste is always far milder with less spices and sauces.
Btw from your description, that soy sauce thing is actually dark soy sauce. It's milder and much thicker. You can even cook up some plain noodles and mix in a tablespoonful of that stuff, drain, and serve dry (or fry it a bit more and add some sesame oil, black pepper, and a fried egg on top). It'll taste good.

Certainly isn't dark soy! I do a lot of Asian cooking so use that all the time. When I say the consistancy of marmite... it really is like that, possibly even thicker. You could use it to stick posters up :laughing:
Looking at the ingredients and it has molasses and brown sugar added which seems to explain it. So if anyone buys these I'd suggest dropping the sachet in hot water while the noodles cook otherwise you're going to have the stuff all over your hands and not in the noodles like I did!

Try Indomie Noodles they do a few varieties Mie Goreng is the most popular. I buy Koka noodles from Home Bargains because they are cheap (£7.50 for a box of 30) Indomie may be more expensive but are a lot better.

The best before date only applies to the sachets, the dried noodles will keep for years, If I think I have gone too far past the BB date for the sachets I just add my own soy sauce and some fried onions to flavour them up. Of course the fried egg and pepper is also added.

Vifon is quite nice though.
