Vifon Bo Kho (Beef Flavor Oriental Noodles)
Country of origin: Vietnam
Bought at Super Oriental Market
So here's some stuff from Vifon that I'd never seen before. It's hard to see in this picture but there's also French on the package under the yellow text at the bottom. It translates to "Oriental style beef flavor noodles." Evidently a lot of people in Vietnam speak French as a second language due to the earlier French colonial influences. I had no idea. On to the noodles!
Rice noodles with three packs of stuff. Shame it didn't somehow have those meatballs and cilantro and other stuff that it had in the picture... we're gonna steam this one in 400ml (about 2 cups) of water in a bowl. Hey, someone gimme a bowl and some vodka while you're at it.
Thanks! Got a new bowl on my last ramen trip so just showing off. I let these steam for about four or five minutes. Let's see if they're done.
Kinda looks like chicken noodle soup. This one is not bad, but not great either. It's very light on taste, which I wasn't expecting considering the amount of chili powder and other spices in the ingredients. Oh well. If you like rice noodles then you may want to give these a try, otherwise just meh. Meh!! Oh and by the way...
BEST EXPIRATION DATE EVER!!! 5/10.
