WAI WAI!!! That’s really fun to say. Great name for a company, too! On top of that, it happens to be a company from Thailand that makes noodles. I love Thai food so I was anxious to try these. They come in a smaller than normal yet very colorful package with a little window in the bottom left corner so you know you are buying noodles (I guess?). From what I can tell Wai Wai is a sizable noodle maker and I’ve seen several varieties of their noodles at the various Asian stores I’ve been to. Let’s check it out!
We got a smaller than your average noodle block, a blue packet of seasoning oil and a double packet of soup base and chili powder! Cool! Lots of stuff in this small package. I was curious about the color of the noodles and upon reading the ingredients I discovered that chili powder is an ingredient in the noodles themselves. Also cool. Let’s cook it up.
These smell very good after they are cooked… kinda a garlic and pepper smell, which are two things I love. So why can’t I taste any of it? These noodles are some of the most bland tasting I have ever had and the texture is extremely rubbery. I’m so disappointed… I really wanted to like these, but there is hardly any taste here at all! Eating these is like eating a bowl of rubber bands cooked in hot water. They are just flat out not good. I’m going to give these a generous 3/10 and that’s only because I didn’t gag when I ate them. I’d rather have a glass of water… it has more flavor.
