VIFON Bún Rieu Cua Sour Crab noodles!

Okay so these cost me 33p! 33p!! I want you to remember this. VIFON are like the Gods of noodle manufacturers; a Vietnamese consortium who often put out some of the best quick noodle packets in the world. You'll notice that these are rice vermicelli noodles and not egg noodles (hence being included in the picture) while the large silver packet contained real crab (and shrimp). The vegetables and soup base were pretty plain but there was a real wholesome flavour of crab, lemongrass, ginger and shrimp. Definitely one for those days spent in bed feeling ill as it reminded me of chicken soup to be honest. The noodles themselves were gorgeous and I can imagine it would be quite easy to overcook these. For this price I cannot be critical at all.

If they were a computer game: Pac Man; nothing amazingly exciting but an old favourite you will want to come back to though easily forgotten.

If they were a rock band: Ben Folds Five; great if you are in the mood for some quick comfort but not like an album you will return to again and again.
