FF didn’t come out so well on their Tom Kha Gai noodles so I wanted to see if their FF Tom Yum Shrimp was any better. The packaging again says they’re Halal so I would think that this company specializes in Halal products. The wrapper show a very red soup with shrimp, lime, mushrooms and kafir lime leaf.
The noodle block look exactly like the Tom Kha Gai package from the same company. Darker in color and possibly not of good quality.
The seasoning included came in three packets. One for the flavoring and count them, one-two packets of chili oil.
The seasoning packet contents looked like there might be some actual real ingredients in it.
The chili oil packets had a strong citrus smell which I though was odd. Generally I get that flavor from the seasoning packet. I added both because I’m not scared of a little heat.
The seasoning packet dissolved better than the Tom Kha Gai seasoning but the oil didn’t at all. In some noodles the oil breaks down into smaller oil droplets that float of the surface but these held together really well. I mixed the crap out of it to get the oil on the noodles with little success. The overall flavor of the noodles wasn’t bad and the two packs pf chili oil didn’t seem to make them to spicy at all.
I’ll rate these higher than the Tom Kha Gai noodles from FF.
5 out of 10
Consistency – Oily and thin soup
Spiciness – This is spicy but with two packs of chili oil I expected it to have more heat.
Ingredients – The single packet of powder contained all the flavor and the two packs of chili oil added a lot of sour to the soup.
Noodles – The noodles were fine and they had a oily feel to them when I was eating them. They seemed better than the Tom Kha Gai noodles even though they looked identical. Perhaps the two packs of chili oil contributed to that?
