Things tend to go bump in my kitchen in the middle of the night. Especially when it’s around 2am. My kettle whistles while I rip open a pack of delicious instant noodles for a snack. I can’t help myself; as I love slurping the thick and bouncy noodles and ladling spoonfuls of broth down my throat. These are 5 of the best instant noodles in Singapore. They deserve to be a part of your kitchen.

Samyang U-Dong

Korean instant noodles are worship-worthy, and I have a special place for this pack in my heart. It’s a Korean-Japanese marriage, as the soup is made with Dashi, the primary item in miso soups. You get a hint of sweetness and a slightly salty kick. Where do you get these babies? Try Fairprice.

Kyushu Black Nissin Black Ramen

You get a bowl of noodles that’s just a tinge chewy, but still firm in texture. A packet is ample enough for a hungry tummy at any time. To get the authentic Japanese meal, serve it with a soft-boiled egg. I guarantee you that it tastes perfect with the salty-garlicky broth. You’d also be able to get this in Fairprice. Kill two birds in one place. Or should I say two instant noodle packs?

MyKuali Penang White Curry Noodle

Malaysia’s state of Penang has long been famous for their taken on curry noodles, and this instant noodle pack gets you to enjoy the same taste, minus the travelling. The coconut milk in the seasoning sachet lends a creamy texture to the bowl. You’d even be able to savour the strength of lemongrass and garlic in it. It’s a strong spicy pack, so keep a glass of iced kopi by your side. Purchase your pack at any Sheng Siong outlet.

Nongshim Thyphoon Cold Noodles

Travel to Korea and you’ll find that this is one of their top picks in the country. Outlets like Lottemart Singapore bring the cold noodles in on a regular basis, but hurry and get a pack of your own. The flavours of these noodles are kind of like Tom Yam, but then you get citrus notes hitting you. It takes instant noodles to a whole new level.

Ottogi Cheese Ramen

We’ve all heard of Maggi Mee with cheese and even Milo. This is a Korean take of what I can describe as a far cousin of our local laksa, with a cheesy twist. Get a pack at Fairprice. Heck, go on an instant noodle hunt and have a five-day ramen supper marathon!
