Nissin Cup Noodles with Shrimp Picante Style By LG Phone


My breakfast By LG Phone

Today...
Today is a gloomy day that I can get a smile without any sunshine. I have no mood prepare my beakkfast, so I just take a cup noodles to school and make it in cafeteria. Today, my breakfast is Nissin Cup Noodles with Shrimp Picante Style. I ate it at 8:15am, and I felt hungry at 11:50am. I don't know why each time when I eat cup noodles in US, my homesick reveals without control. I miss my hometown and flavour of cup noodles. Yeah, even the same brand of Nissin cup noodles. However, it just tastes differnt...

The price is cheap for just $.33, but I felt hungry very fast. For health, the content of iron and sodium is acceptable, but I suggest people don't eat more than two this kind of cup noodles per day. Also, the worst part is it contains some cholesterol that we need to consider. I like the dried shrimp and the smashed herb inside, it smells good. After cooking in microwave, it tastes better. I remember the first I tries Nissin cup noodles in US and that time, I didn't microwave it and I just ate half of the cup noodles, and finally I threw it to the rubbish bin because I thought there should be something with that cup noodles. Why tastes like that? After that, I realize that there's nothing with that cup noodles, the feeling is because the taste is different from what I ate from my hometown. So, when I have been living here, I must microwave it before I eat, otherwise I would see a lot of bubbles flowing in the soup and I don't want to eat.

Do you know...
Nissin cup noodles, which I tried in my hometown, the packaging and the taste is totally different. they are made in Hong Kong, the noodles size is bigger than the one made in USA. Also, the soup is more concentrated that I don't leave any in the cup containe.
Since my homesick, I found some pictures of Hong Kong product Nissin cup noodles. Moreover, I found that the packaging of Nissin cup noodles has been changed. I show it from the video clip. Nowadays, for Hong Kong's, Nissin cup noodles can be microwaved, the idea changed and be different from the past. Wow...I really miss the flavor..is it the same?

This is the new advisement for Nissin Cup Noodles in Hong Kong, and the new packaging and the new "microwave" idea.
