REVIEW
Preparation: 6/10 - Alright (it's a little more complicated than most but it's nuclear science)
Appearence: 7/10 - Good (the noodles looked very glowy when they were coated with the sauce)
Smell: 6/10 - Okay (smelled sweet and sour but also like the spices were about to kill me)
Flavour Accuracy: 4/10 - Not Accurate (I see it trying, really, I do, but I also see it failing so...)
Tastiness: 8/10 - Very Tasty (it's not bibimbap but that doesn't mean it has to be bad. the sweetness mixes well with the soft sourness and the spicy ending. it has good layers)
Final Rating: 7 - Good
Final Considerations: It's not groundbreaking but it does hold its weight rather well. I was concerned initially about the mix of things when I saw the label and the ingredients because I have Bai Jia Hi a Kuan - Chongqing Noodles PTSD. Luckily for me, I was positively surprised by this package. So... Ig thank you @super-autism-death-ray for recommending these to me. I hadn't paid attention to them at all before but they're certainly worth my time.
