Cheap food review: Target’s Ming Tsai Hunan Noodles

I am an unabashed fan of noodle meals that come in boxes. Target is also the place where the vast majority of my grocery and household needs expenditures are made. I gave up on the Simply Asia brand because I am frankly scared of food made in China, however tasty they were (and they indeed were tasty). So I was happy to find semi-superstar Ming Tsai’s own brand of noodles (made in India…) at Target.

Today I finally had a chance to try the Ming Tsai Hunan Noodles, described as ‘delicious wheat noodles tossed with a spicy savory sauce’. Easy to make in 1.5 minutes in the microwave, too.

My thoughts: a fail.
Really lacking any flavor other spicy. Greasy too. Unlike Simply Asia, this dish also lacked anything substantial other than flavorless carrot dust. Stay away.
