I was really excited to try this one because I’m a big fan of the Prima Taste Chili Crab and Curry flavors. This one comes with both a sauce and powder packet.
Produced in Singapore.
The umami flavor in this bowl is amazing. The coconut makes the broth rich and it just tastes like there are so many levels of flavor. There’s a slight spice to the noodles but it’s balanced with the coconut and shrimp flavors.
The noodles are air-dried and hold up well to the broth.
I have to say I’m impressed with all of the Prima Taste instant noodle flavors that I’ve tried. It just tastes like your eating premium noodles that you can find at a restaurant.
To complement the rich flavor, I would add some vegetables to this. Steamed bok choy would be a great addition along with some chicken breast to soak up the broth.

Frequently Asked Questions
For the spice level, my friend James, who taste tests the ramens with me, gives his rating out of 5 based on his experience with the heat. My own spice tolerance tends to be higher than most, so James’s rating gives a more general sense of the spiciness. Keep in mind that spice is still subjective, so what’s mild for him might be spicy for you, and vice versa!
That’s how thick or thin the broth is. A 1/5 would be very watery, while a 5/5 would be super thick and almost syrupy.
This is just a general gauge of how thick the noodles are compared to other instant ramen noodles I’ve tried. A 1/5 would be very thin, like vermicelli, and a 5/5 would be very thick and wide.
Here, I’m just describing the style or texture of the noodles, like “udon-like” for a chewy and thick noodle, or “thin and curly” for a more classic instant ramen style.

I had this once when I was craving Laksa (a Malaysian noodle dish) and it definitely satisfied the craving. I wouldn’t say it’s extremely authentic but I LOVED the noodles raw texture, but that might just be because I’m a sucker for thin noodles. The broth is definitely very rich, just like a Laksa should be. I would recommend at least try it once! I’m really excited to try the Chilli Crab flavour next 🙂
