When we heard that Nissin is putting luxurious uni in instant noodles, we went for it and grabbed 5 cups of these off the shelves. And I've just tried it.
🔸
The label of the cup says that it contains 6.9% real uni, and of course at only about S$3 per cup, we won't expect it to taste like real uni. The orange 'uni' pieces you see here had a texture that's more like a uni-flavoured biscuit that became very soft after soaking in that creamy instant ramen soup. It's nowhere like real uni, but it certainly has some uni taste to it. The instant noodles soup has a thicker consistency compared to other Nissin cup noodles, so it is creamy and had a light cheese flavour.
🔸
Also noteworthy is the noodles used here, it's thinner, and after cooking for only 2.5 mins instead of the recommended 3 mins, I liked the al dente texture.

If you would remove your existing conception of how uni taste like, then this is certainly very enjoyable.
