The Whateverlah Blog

Can I just say, this stuff is the shizz:

Supposedly it’s available at Jusco for RM2.70, according to the blogger I stole this picture from. But me, it seems I’ve reached the point in life where I can buy instant noodles without looking at how much they will set me back. I don’t know how much I paid for these at my local Asian supermarket, but I was stocking up and spent $15 on specialty instant-noodle varietals. I’m guessing they came in at $4-5 for the packet of 5. All I know is, I rounded the corner and the words “Mi Perisa Udang. Ho Liao!” were staring me in the face. Reflexively, I reached out.

Once home my noodles were a-simmering before I had time to put my other groceries away. I tossed in a fistful of taugeh and some ultrasoft tofu for bulk (too impatient to bother with a sliced hard-boiled egg and prawns). The product info says it does contain MSG but I’ve never had MSG headaches or any of the other symptoms that some people seem to get.

*Slurp slurp* ahh..~~
