The noodles is "Ichiban". In Japanese, "Ichiban" means delicious. Concluding all aspects of the nutrition fact, this kind of instant noodles is acceptable. For the noodle part, the noodles are thick and elastic even dipping in the soup for a while. The smell is elegant just like cooked rice. The soup is a little sweet. It's my first time to try this kind of instant noodles, and also the first time to try the instant bean curd with instant noodles. The bean curd is juicy and fairly sweet. The price is just $.59, I think it's worthy since the size of this bag of instant noodles is quite bag, and I won't feel hungry so fast.

Do you know...
It's the first that I tried bean curd. Do you know what is it and they come from? I'm curious about that, so I do some research...
Bean curd is anther name for tofu, a product made from soybeans, and sometimes other legumes as well. To make bean curd, a cook curdles soy milk and presses the resulting soybean curds into molds to firm up. The result is a block of white, neutrally flavores material which can be used in a wide assortment of dishes.
There are 2 basic types f bean curd defined by two countries, Japan and China. For Japanese style tofu is silken and tends to fall apart as it is worked with, making it a great choice for dishes in which fragmentx of bean curd are desired. It is also used in vegan baked goods. For chinese style tofu is firm, and will hold its shape as it is worked with cooked.
Someone says, it's confusing chinese tofu is called bean curd, while Japanese style is called tofu. For my opinion, I think the taste of Japanese style tofu is usually sweet, and it can be made for sushi. For Chinese style, it usually tastes salty with sesame oil and vinegar.
