Simply Asia says: Our pure soy noodles are made by baking thin sheets of tofu and cutting them into tender noodle strips that are rich in protein yet low in carbohydrates and calories. Hearty and meat-like in texture, our soy noodles absorb the rich and savory flavors of our authentic soup broth.

Abi says: You know what is better than a review about a meal? Things people say about your meal while it is in the ‘Wait 5 minutes before eating’ stage:

“Meatiness is not a quality I look for in noodles.” Amy sneered in response to my reading of the box blurb.

“Something smells like burnt rubber.” She noted a few minutes later.
“I think that’s my noodles.” I replied.
“Well, I’m sure you’re looking forward to eating that.”

“There’s underwear on her desk.”
“Yeah, I put it there.”
“But she’s out to lunch.”
“Oh, that’s a problem.”

Ok, above conversation is not related to tofu noodles.

“Something smells weird.” Whispered Chad as he sauntered past my cube.

For all of the talk about how otherworldly this meal smelled (otherworldly in the sense of a decaying animal that has cycled to the next life in the quest for nirvana), it actually doesn’t taste like much of anything at all. Quite a quandary. I would like to finish this meal because it is good for me, but I can not breathe in through my nose because the malodorous steam singes my cilia. I had to invent the ‘Zero Stars’ category for this meal.

Solution: Throw away disgusting tofu noodles and get a delicious salad with grilled chicken, boiled egg, bacon and avocado. Yum.

AgentFour’s Mission: Heat. Eat. Review. » Curry Classics Chicken Pad Thai on April 25th, 2006

[…] Chicken Pad Thai from Curry Classics is one of those lunches. It doesn’t live up to the vegetarian succulence of the meals from sister company Green Guru. Sure, the pad thai is fragrant and attracts coworkers with an aroma of tamarind, coriander, and lemon. In fact, the reaction I experienced today was opposite the dreaded soy noodle repellent of yesterday. […]
