In recent years, the unusually hot summer in Japan. There are frequent guerrilla rainstorms, just like the climate of Southeast Asia.

Perhaps because of that, Asian ethnic foods make you want to eat in the summer. This time, we would like to introduce "Yam Yum", an instant noodle that you can enjoy "authentic feeling" very easily.

Yamu Yum is an instant noodle brand manufactured and sold in Thailand. There is a lineup of Tom Yum Kung noodles and basil-flavored fried noodles, which can be purchased from one bag (one serving) at KALDI Coffee Farm. The price is 68 yen (tax included). It is also sold on various mail-order sites, but there are many packs of 5, so if you want to try it first, go to KALDI.


The author who likes Tom Yum Kung bought "Yam Yum Clear Tom Yum Kung Noodles" and "Yam Yum Creamy Tom Yum Kung Noodles". Both are noodles, powdered seasonings, and seasoning oil only, and do not contain any ingredients.

Boil the noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes, turn off the heat and add the soup. If you like, you can top it with shrimp or coriander to make it more like Tom Yum Kung.



The soup with a sour and sour taste and intense spiciness is exactly the local Tom Yum Kung! The umami of seafood and nam pla will follow you later. It is said that tapioca is contained in the ultra-fine noodles that have a smooth texture.



While being boosted by the refreshing scent of lemongrass, my face sweats when I finish eating a glass while saying hi. You can see how the spiciness of Tom Yum Kung products arranged for Japan is lukewarm.

On the other hand, the creamy type has a slightly milder spiciness. Personally, I think this one is easier to eat ...


I remembered this cheapness and junk, and the Thai street food ramen that I ate secretly without listening to the guide's attention. Ramen that makes you feel like traveling to Thailand in 3 minutes, if you like spicy food, please try it!
