My breakfast By LG Phone

Today...
A busy week starts from today, it lets me remember the topic about "fear Monday" in our class, so many exams come in this week. So, I wake up early to make my breakfast and come to the De Anza library to start typing my blog. Today, I ate a bag of MAMA Oriental Style Instant Noodles (Chand Clear Soup) which is made in Thailand for my breakfast. I didn't add any other ingredients so it's total original. I didn't cook it in cookware, and I just put the noodles and seasonings into a bowl and pour about 360cc boiled water. After that, I covered it with a plate and waited for three minutes. And done!

It looks like Ho Fan Vermicelli, but it tastes totally different because it's more elastic. For price, it's easy to make that you will save your time since you don't need to cook it. It is cheap for costs only $.49 but the size of the bag of this instant noodles as you see in the picture. So, I think I will feel hungry very fast. It tastes good but a little but disappointed is the health part. For health, it contain a little bit amount of cholesterol and the content of sodium is quite high if I consider its size. What I found is that the soup of MAMA brand series is very thick, maybe that's the reason why its amount of sodium is so high. The noodles soup is delicious. However, it may be not suitable for someone who can't absorb too many salt.
