If you haven't heard by now, KiKi is the latest brand of instant noodles to sell out in Asian cities like Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore. When it first launched in Singapore, the entire batch of 2,000 packets was sold out within 6 days despite costing twice or even thrice the price of Korean instant noodles.
Lately I had the opportunity to try the Young Vinegar flavour, thanks to a friend who kindly shared her stash of noodles with us.
Verdict: I liked it, in particular the texture of the noodles. It was soft and springy - similar to la mian - and was markedly different from your usual Maggis. It definitely looked and tasted more expensive than the regular ramen noodles. The portion - nett weight of 90g according to the packaging - was decent for a small eater like me. The vinegar wasn't overpowering and flavour was light on the whole, which was the way I liked it. I imagine that it'll pair very well with some minced meat or roast pork!
4 out of 5 stars from me!
