Mijia Tomato Egg Noodles/Yangchun Noodles/Tea Bags

Yes, it’s me again with another filler post. Today it’s two kinds of Mi Home instant noodles and one drink.

I actually bought these to pad out an order, and before I knew it I’d padded my way through a hundred yuan.

Let’s start with Mi Home’s tomato egg noodles… the reviews online are pretty high.

The portion isn’t big—just one seasoning block inside, needs hot water, five minutes, remember to set a timer. They even throw in a fork that barely works.

Five minutes later it’s ready, and the taste is surprisingly good. You can actually see egg and tomato in there, and it’s tasty, the broth holds up too.

This one kind of overturned my understanding of instant noodles. If they can get this close to the real flavor, that’s pretty solid.

So naturally I had high hopes for the Yangchun noodles. The ads for this one were pushed harder than the tomato egg noodles, so I figured it had to be better.

And I was genuinely disappointed. This so-called Yangchun noodle tastes like your average chicken-broth instant noodle. I don’t even know how to rate it. Very cheap, not worth the packaging and the hype at all.

Maybe I just got unlucky? I’ll try another pack next time.

Next up, Mi Home’s tea bags. Lots of flavors inside, one of each.

Personally I like this fruit-and-flower tea the most. First time drinking it, sweet and sour. Though I can tell it’s not exactly a good product—it’s drinkable, that’s about it. Still, it did help me discover something decent.

Max three steeps before the flavor’s gone, so these tea bags get used up fast. The cup in the photo is from Sister Walnut’s shop—check it out if you’re interested, consider this a plug.

Anyway, these tea bags go quickly. Anyone have recommendations for other good fruit-and-flower tea bags? Oh, and the black tea included in the set is decent too, though I’d call it entry-level quality.
