It took me a while to be able to eat junk food again. Minor medical mishap. 🙃
Out of all the bawal stuff that the doctor listed, I missed eating instant noodles the most. With fried egg. And an ice cold bottle of Coke. Writing those words just made my mouth water.
Anyhoo, last week I dropped by the supermarket to get some junk food of course. I reached the instant noodles aisle and was about to get the all-time favorite Indomie mi goreng. However, there sitting right next to it is a pile of the premium flavor, Curry Salted Egg. Mas mahalia sya sa regular noodles. Like 2 or 3 times ata yung price.
Salted Egg flavored anything was a fad since last year. Not the healthiest flavor out there, but hey, it's good. I generally think what makes this so alluring to people is the elusiveness of the flavor. I figured if you only used the yolk of a salted egg, it's damn pretty expensive to make. Imagine going through a lot of eggs and only using the yolk. And curry leaves are not that easy to find.
I got a couple of packs and thought it would be a good weekend breakfast. Today was that day. As the noodles were cooking, I opened the seasoning packets. Instead of the usual powder seasoning, it came with a yellow powder which definitely hinted of salted egg and curry. Not sure if it's still ketchup sicam but it's slightly saltier than sweet.
On the first bite, it already had a kick of spiciness into it. Not for the faint of heart, if you ask me. But not yet to the hotness of those Samyang noodles.
You can very much note the spiciness is coming from curry. A few more bites and I can definitely tell you it's not your usual sweet mi goreng.
I made a small booboo of cooking two packs. I usually eat two packs of the regular ones for a late breakfast/brunch. Nakakaumay yung dalawang curry salted egg mi goreng, mga mumsh. Next time I'd probably do 1 salted egg and 1 regular one. For that reason alone, I'd give it a 3/5. Masarap naman sya kaso nakakaumay talaga. I'll probably do it again in a few weeks, and mix with the regular one.
Ps. Bought mine at SM Hypermarket at SM Makati.
