Today I’ll be trying these Koka brand noodles with laksa flavour. I’m familiar with the brand but I’ve never seen them with this flavour before, so I’m excited to see how it’s gonna be, as well as how far the “spicy” label is gonna take us. They’re also whole grain, which is rare.
On first impression the noodles are very densely packed and shiny which has been a bad sign in the past, and I wonder how evenly they’re gonna cook and how the texture will be. The flavourings are divided between three decently sized packages, which is promising but of course not a guarantee of good flavour.
As the noodles cook, they have a strong scent of seafood and cilantro, which is also promising, as I don’t often get the cilantro taste in instant noodles. The taste is very similar to the smell, but less fishy and not as full as I’d hoped. I stand corrected on the texture of the noodles though, they’re thin but have a lovely bite to them. Other whole grain noodles I’ve tried have been really gritty, but that’s not the case here. In honesty I can’t even tell that they’re whole grain. While a little watery, the soup tastes nice and has a pleasant heat to it. I’d call it medium spicy. The taste is savoury with a sweetness that reminds me of shellfish, and there’s that hint of cilantro.
Overall not bad, but I don’t know if I’d get them again.
Texture 9/10
Taste 7/10
Packaging 8/10 The spice and oil packets could be torn open with your hands but the noodle package itself had to be cut open with scissors
