Love my noodles and thought about buying some in bulk now and then. Amazon do some kinda bulk deals but seem expensive as i look at the ko lee noodle pots 24 about for £14 "56p each" when im sure i got them at netto for 35p each.

Lookin to spend roughly a tenner but get 24 pots or 30 packets of noodle or somit. Somit medium quality but nice. Ebay does some but probably fake crap tho.

While were at it which instant noodles do you usually go for? Personally cheapest are ok except for the uber cheap ones which takes awful imo. Ko-lee ones i usually like if cheap and available or their are some nice ones i can get 4 for a quid sometimes at HJ's tho cant remember the brand.

Gotta admit some of the unusual ones i found through amazon might be worth a try but their very expensive like 60p up to a quid a pack and them bowls lol are like 6 for a tenner :eek:

Oh as for flavour usually go for chicken. Not really a fan of curry, beef ones.

These are really nice.

Also their hot and spicy foil packet ones are nice too.

Considered somit like this but i duno if their any good or not.

They dont seem to be the uber cheap asda smartprice kind of quality ones but i duno if there as good as 30p ones i can get in the shops.
 
Well I'd never think of looking for food on Amazon.

Have you looked to see if you have a local Chinese supermarket?
 
Surely it would be cheaper (and not to mention A LOT healthier) to go to an Asian supermarket, buy a big bag of dried noodles and make the sauces yourself?
 
Went to town and found a Chinese shop which had a ton of noodles in. 2 mins later i found a even bigger store lol that is newly opened so yey i got some nice places to get Chinese/Japanese stuff now. :) Oh and 5 mins later when i went to the indoor market i found the grocers there had expanded and had a Chinese section on the end as well.

Damn their popping up all over haha. Good news for me. :) Still no luck finding melon bread which i hear all the time in anime tho :p :(

Here is what i bought at the first store (green tea at 2nd store). Came to about £4 ish which thinking about it is a lot for so few noodle packs but i did get the big ones which i think are 80-90p or somit. But hey giving em all a try see which i like.

Various ones they had but i grabbed chicken/vegetable/pork/duck ones oh and a hot and spicy.

Shame i didnt spot ko-lee ones my fav tho and the pot versions which usually get a fork with em, were a little pricey at 60-80p iirc.



A mix of Japanese, Thai, Cantonese i think and few other places. So a bit of every type.

Anyone tried any of these and if so did you like em?

I "think" the smallest ones are 35p each the ever so slightly larger ones were 45p and as i said the big ones were i think about 80p or so.

Ingrediants (add ins)


Cooking


Add ingrediants


Ready.


Edit - 6 mins later, mmmm tasty tho i think i could have cooked it a tiny bit more to soak the water up more but then again its probably meant to be in juice and not all soaked up as there not like the 30p noodles i usually get they were larger. Flavours were nice. Ham i bought at market today was delish in it as well as other things i added. Was ok without salt and pepper but tasted a little nicer with it too. :) Oh and had a cup of that green tea, was quite nice too.

Had the Mi-Goran noodles today, quite nice tho you dont get much in them. I had thought you could use the water as a soup but even tho looked like it had flavour cos it went yellow after cooking the noodles in it was flavourless. Also kinda weird the instructions by having you open and mix all the packets of things in a bowl then add the noodles (drained first) and mix the noodles and combined things together at the end of the cooking process. Wasnt bad in the end but weird as typically i have always done with instant noodles is add the packet of whatever and boiled water from kettle then cook for 3 mins and done but not with a lot of these noodles i got.

Also had the bottom red packet. Now that was also a bit weird as you add the packet of soup mix after you cook the noodles but you add it to the pan at the end without draining in this one as the Mi-Goran noodles you drain. Damn tasty tho the red packet nice and spicy and the soup bit was delish which i drank first with a chinese soup spoon i found in my drawer then had the noodles which were just perfect. :) Defo try get more of them when i get more noodles. The Mi Goran ones im not sure ill get many of them tho i will get 1 or 2 but not like 10+ when i go to buy a lot on my next noodle shopping trip.
 
I like those Demae Ramen ones, loaded with MSG. The ones on the bottom right are as hot as hell :D
 
Ran out of em within 2 days :p

Tho i defo will go slower through this next lot as i want it to last a week or two. ;)

About £12-13 worth ish.



Couldnt find them hot bottom right ones from last pic at the same shop again for some reason :(
 
Much nicer than super noodles imo but noodles yeah same but nicer. Cept one of them the stripy packet near bottom left is rice noodles not the usual noodles and the top right green multi pack is diff type of noodles, not sure what kind i didnt really check just knew that they had a bunch in a large packet :p

Also unlike super noodles most of them in the pic is a noodle with soup thing. Which i drink the soup with one of them cool japanese noodle soup spoons and then i go for the noodles with chopsticks or fork if lazy. Oh yeah bought a 10 pack of CS which seem about 2-3 inch longer than the wood one i bought years ago and only cost like 1.40 or somit which is a bargain i thought.
 
Mi Goreng, and Demae Ramen (Chicken) are my go-to noodles. It's funny, as after reading the MSG thread, I knew I just HAD to have some, and went out and bought 4 packets of each. Eaten two of them already! You have forgotten sweet chilli sauce and chopped chilli though!!!
 
this is a totally pointless bump not sure, but saw this thread on a google search lol

Im a big fan of noodles but love the ko lee to go noodle pots, its nice in a pot cos its like a soup with noodles in it and even 2 of them fill you up untill the next meal !

Not bad for this recession times !

Anyhow VB and sons, find your closest branch they do them for £1.20 for pack of 3, u can get curry/masala/hot and spicy pots.

So even if you go in there with a tenner you can literally be carrying out I think about 20 pots or more ! very cheap and cheerful and tasty food.

I started a trend at work cos I got 3-4 people now enjoying them lol
 
Local pound land and home bargains have been doing 4 packs of noodles for £1. Had 4 packs of Koka noodles which i really liked. Now going through 4 packs of Ko-Lee which im not too impressed with.
 
I now have to go hunt in the only local supermarket for some noodles for lunch. I hope you are all happy.

Im also looking on the rainforest site for a few bulk orders....NOM NOM NOM
