Opinions on junk food

I used to relish Chicken in a Biscuit crackers when I was younger but as I grow older, I have become more health-conscious. They taste so good because of the salt and flavourings used in the cooking process. So I stopped buying them.

I bought them a couple of days back and to my dismay, they tasted totally different from what I had tasted before. They didn't taste as fabulous as I remembered. They tasted like the chicken flavour that instant noodles have. I doubt my childhood opinion was based on naivety.

I am pretty certain that the taste standard of this brand of crackers has dropped even though the packaging design is more trendy.

If you are looking for local brands of cup noodles, I would recommend Nissin brand. Though it is a little more expensive than others like Maggi Hot Bowl and Myojo, it is worth buying because of the more authentic ingredients included amongst the noodles. The other brands don't really include as many types of ingredients.

Yes, the ingredients are freeze-dried but this doesn't affect their taste once boiling water is poured over them. There are also many flavours offered by this brand. Chilli Crab, Laksa, Seafood Tomyam, Mushroom Chicken, Chicken, Seafood, Seafood Curry and Prawn are some of them.
