I’ve been dying to try the A One Crab Vermicelli after seeing so many good reviews and hype online. NTUC Fairprice online has been short of stocks for quite a while before I tried my luck and managed to order one for myself recently! The price is about $7+ which comes with 4 packets, and while it is slightly more expensive than the other brands, it’s really worth the money!
Each packet comes with the vermicelli, seasoning, garnish, shredded crab meat and oil.
One thing I really like about cooking “beehoon” type of noodles, is the short waiting time as compared to instant noodles. I can get really impatient waiting for the noodles to be cooked when I’m hungry, and even 1 minute of waiting time might seem endless. #firstworldproblems
Within seconds of adding the seasoning into the soup, the soup magically turned white and milky, unlike the other brands of instant noodles which have a more translucent broth. There wasn’t a very prominent crab taste but the creamy soup made the dish more fragrant.
While the MSG taste is still prominent and you might find yourself gulping down a few glasses of ice water after your meal, I felt that it was a pretty good substitute to your cravings for a satisfying bowl of crab beehoon.
I might actually consider putting in some crab meat in the future too!
What are your thoughts?
