Koka was my first love back in the 1990s and still is a favourite, many of the meat/fish flavours are artificial and so I can eat them. Indo Mie and Nong Shim are also good plus some Ichiban but almost no Nissin (UFO are fantastic but hard to get). My wife, also vegetarian likes glass noodles and she has just finished our last pot of YouMe noodles which I think no longer exist. Would appreciate any info on any veggie suitable glass noodles, I occasionally get to London so need mail order or shops within 50 miles of Bristol<br />NoodleManiacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659859995099007525.post-88888481904818746802012-01-17T20:03:54.972+00:002012-01-17T20:03:54.972+00:00Oh, I love 粉絲!!
