I've known Andrew for five years.
And you've come to the conclusion that...
You haven't changed.
Wow.
What's going on, everybody?
I haven't been in the kitchen in a while,
but I'm here with Linda D.
Yes.
What's going on, everybody?
We have not done a cooking video on this channel
in a minute, but today I'm here with Linda D.
Linda, we are going to be trying
the most expensive seafood instant noodles I've ever had.
And they are the number one selling noodles
in Malaysia and Singapore.
But these are crazy.
Because they have real abalone in the instant noodles.
That's so crazy.
Real abalone.
And if you guys don't know,
abalone is like that expensive Asian delicacy.
It's like a mollusk and someone has to like go dive for it.
So now we're gonna cook them and we're gonna try them
and we'll tell you how they are.
So...
Let's get it.
Andrew, this is your pot.
It's so cute.
This is so fancy.
This is a fancy menu.
Yeah, we got the garnishes here.
Wow.
All right, we're gonna microwave these real quick.
Pop it in.
No!
Oh, we got the special A1 sauce up in here.
That has the abalone inside of it.
Oh, the abalone's in here.
So we are now gonna compete
in the abalone instant noodle challenge.
I'm throwing mine in.
He's throwing his in.
I'm not waiting for you.
Okay, I'm putting mine in too.
All right.
So, and then after we're gonna garnish everything
and whoever has the most presentable dish wins.
I think I'm gonna win.
Okay, we have this actual abalone sauce.
Ooh!
Not dehydrated or anything.
That's a...
Oh my God, that is...
Pour it all in.
Oh!
It's alive.
Bam, that's in there.
Ooh, stems, ooh.
I've known Andrew for five years.
It's a really long time.
And you've come to the conclusion that...
You haven't changed.
Wow.
No, in a good way.
I think it's in a good way.
I think you haven't changed.
It's true that the structure of my life has not changed.
I haven't, you know, I haven't gotten the dog.
I haven't gotten a long-term girlfriend like I thought.
You still look exactly the same.
I still look exactly the same.
In fact, some people said I look younger.
You just look the same.
Like you haven't changed your face.
I feel like I've changed a lot.
Whoa!
I think you've only grown up a little bit.
I don't think you've changed that much
like in your personality.
Still awkward.
But you've, I think you've gained new experiences.
Guys.
Ooh, this is...
Ooh!
Ooh, look at that.
A little chili peppers
and a little scallions on the outside.
That looks good, okay.
Guys, this soup actually smells really good.
This smells like unlike any other instant noodle out there
because this has a very herbal soup.
Mine look more neat,
but yours look way tastier.
Oh!
We're going to try each other's.
We just switched bowls.
Linda, I'm going to try your creation first.
Okay, your noodles are pretty good.
It has kind of like a chicken, a herbal chicken flavor.
Kind of tastes like something that like your mom
would make you like when you're sick.
Yeah.
All right, moment of truth.
I'm going to bite your abalone.
Yo, you bite your abalone.
I'll bite my abalone.
But I got to try...
No, too bad.
Oh my God, it's really good.
I love abalone because this is abalone.
Does that kind of taste like it's at the restaurant?
Mm-hmm.
I'm surprised by how good that abalone is on the package.
Yeah.
I'm going to try mine now.
Oh, I'm going to try mine.
All right.
I like how it's herby.
It tastes more like herbs.
Herby.
Dang, yours was pretty good.
It had a lot in it.
I kind of like am regretting
not putting more garnishes in mine.
I'm really impressed with the abalone though.
I was not expecting that.
I think you won overall.
Yeah.
So I give it to you.
But if there was a simplicity scale...
Nope.
I think I won.
Nope.
I think Andrew is really, you know...
I kept it too simple.
Salty right now.
But you know, you had the ingredients there
and you didn't do it.
So in the end, I won.
And it's cool.
Hey, Andrew.
One, just one shrimp.
You were too late.
One shrimp.
Linda.
Oh, I bit both.
Sorry.
You bit both?
All right, guys.
Round one.
Linda wins.
What do you think your parents would say
if you brought these over?
They would be like,
how much did you spend on these?
Because that must be really expensive.
You guys got to check out the A1 abalone noodles.
Yep.
This is pretty good.
All right.
So for round two,
we're cooking the crab flavor rice vermicelli white soup.
All right.
Are you ready to take an L?
Let's go.
Two L's make a W.
Boom.
A1 seasoning.
Whoa.
Ooh, milky.
Your noodles kind of look like mine.
Would you copy me?
Down.
He's just cleaning, perfecting it.
I ain't done yet.
Oh, one last noodle though.
Whose looks better?
Okay.
Yours looks so much better.
Wow.
Okay.
Round two.
I spent a lot of time arranging my noodles
to make sure that at least on the aesthetic scale
and on the Instagram scale,
they rank the highest.
It is good.
Okay.
Milky.
What?
I think yours is like how properly how you did it.
I think mine may have been.
Yours is like really like thick, thick,
like it's a little starchy.
Flavor-wise is good.
It's just a little,
I think you could have added a little more water.
Let me try your.
All right.
Switch back.
Wow.
Mine is significantly different from.
Surprising that we almost used similar elements,
but because you use so little water,
I think mine makes more sense.
Yours is more dense.
You know instant noodles holding together
when you can pick up a clump of it.
It's not all just like slipping through your chopsticks.
Hold.
All right, Linda.
So for round two on the crab vermicelli white soup,
I think I won.
Who do you think won?
Pretty sure you won in that one.
The presentation, the taste.
Mine was a little too thick.
I should have put more water.
So we tried two,
what seemed to be very expensive noodle soups,
but actually you can get these
at your local Asian grocery store.
You can get these at the 99 Ranch.
This does not come with a real crab claw,
but this does come with the real abalone.
So the picture that you see is actually what you get.
So they're both really good,
but I do like the abalone
because I was just really surprised
that it's the texture is still chewy and juicy.
And I thought it was going to be like dehydrated,
but it's completely not.
I got to agree with you because the abalone noodles,
just the whole experience of taking out the packet
with the abalone and the sauce
and then cooking it all together and how simple it was,
but yet how unique it was.
Honestly, overall, it was just a whole new experience.
And I would say this is taking instant noodles
to the next level.
It is taking it to the next level.
All right, everybody in the comments below,
let us know which one of these two flavors
you would want to try the most.
And what is your favorite instant noodle?
Peace.
A1 from Malaysia.
Get it guys.
What's an idea?
If they put like black cod in an instant noodle.
Okay.
That would be good.
What about Chilean sea bass?
Yo, do you think that they could do
a bun bo huay instant noodle?
With the beef in it?
The instant noodles had like one ton
that were already cooked.
Clam soup instant noodle by Andrew Fung.
Straight out the pack.
They did it with abalone.
They could do it with anything.
Shrimp.
Oh, a tom yum with real shrimp.
