The thick rice noodles have a nice chewy texture and make the soup feel more filling. The crab flavor adds a savory seafood taste without being too heavy. It’s a convenient option when I want a quick noodle meal without having to prepare everything from scratch.
lshark2040
8/10 In my opinion
luna.do
After the soup boils, then put in your noodles for a couple minutes, that way you won’t get the porridge consistency. Maybe I’m weird but I like when it’s porridge like Either way 10/10. I like it a lot!

Those flat crab noodle are so good when cooking them and are so easy to chew on them and are so enjoyable and so almost transparent and yet it was also briefly worth the size they have and this bag from the outside looks like a graphic novel version and that looks fun and very designable to see them
