Trying this for the first time. Doesn’t it look cute?

Hello Kitty branded pancake mix, in blueberry mochi and strawberry mochi flavors.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added chashu pork and sesame seeds. The guanmian noodles were pretty good - a pinch softer than the more traditionally made varieties but that's alright. The flavor however was just way too salty for me. I know - in Taiwan, they put salt on everything - even oatmeal is enjoyed like congee! But it was saltier than I could manage. 2.5 out of 5.0 stars.  EAN bar code 4715635852998.

These noodles are my new obsession! They’re flat and have a nice chewy texture to them, and the sauce that comes with them is spicy, not too salty, and has a nice flavor. I guess the only downside is that they’re more expensive than other noodles, and takes longer to cook, but I think it’s worth it! Also, they’re non-fried and therefore lower calorie.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added shrimp, fried onion, scallion, and Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts. The noodles have a flat and broad gauge and an excellent chewiness I've come to expect from the A-Sha line of products. The flavor is very good - a kind of spicy, salty, slightly sweet and then this savoriness to it - lots of spices that I can really only describe as tasking like Taiwan. Really impressed! 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 4715635853919.

Finished (click to enlarge). The noodles just didn't cook right in this one and what kind of surprised me was that I used the exact same microwave settings as the last one of these I cooked. Really bummed. I do know that if these were cooked in a pot normally, they'd be 5 stars. The flavor is great - nice soy sauce and spiciness augmented by a great selection of veggies. Really unfortunate. 3.0 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 4715635852950.

Finished (click to enlarge). The noodles came out extremely well - beautiful gauge and texture. Again, these are the noodles that when I first tried them cooked I considered to be 'masterful in their simplicity,' using very few ingredients and delivering a fine chew and mouthfeel. They don't disappoint here whatsoever. As for the flavoring, it's a salty soy which coats everything well. The vegetables are a very nice addition to this product. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.
