As you all know, we are all FBBs. (Let's hear a cheer for ourselves! "Like totally, that right! I even got my manicure!!..." okay nevermind you get the drift.) Hence, being FBBs, I'm sure all of you have had, at one time or another, the ever-constantly present MIDNIGHT CRAVING for good instant hot food!
So, one of those cravings hit me recently when I came back, therefore for the FIRST time in my life, I purchased a box of CP Shrimp Wanton from..erm..I forgot. But moving on, the quest for it to turn into a midnight snack failed (!!) and hence it became my breakfast this morning, which I have just finished less than an hour ago! (This review is the result of very swift action!)
This Wanton thingy is really simple to cook. Basically it's a pack of 12 Wantons and a small packet of shrimp flavouring powder for the soup. It's quite similar to instant noodles. The intructions are basically to put the flavouring into 600ml of boiling water and stir, then add all the defrosted Wantons for three minutes.
Amazingly though, this really quick-to-cook snack tasted super good! The Wanton skin was not too chewy and became smooth when it was boiled. The whole prawn inside (yah, one whole prawn!) was crunchy and tasty and didn't taste like it was too processed. The soup was really tasty too, although it had the usual taste of instant food (aka too-much-MSG). But then again, I guess that's what makes instant food taste nice! So I really enjoyed myself eating it!
However, the bad point is that you have to cook all 12 Wantons at one go, because the box says don't re-freeze it after defrosting. Soooo..you either have to be an ultra FBB and finish all 12 (I'd like to see someone try) by yourself, or you can find a partner to share them with you! And some little advice..the instructions says use 600ml of water, but I advise using 500ml so that you will have less but more tasty soup!! :)
CP Shrimp Wanton
$4.60 for 12 pieces
Available at almost all supermarkets
Therefore...my FBB rating for CP Shrimp Wanton is...
P/S: I did not finish all 12 Wantons by myself! But that is not a FBB violation of conduct, I'm sure..
