These are the noodles I have to hide from my son... He eats them as fast as I buy them :roll:

I got two of the boxes of koka range from home bargains and they have so much tape round them to stop him munching.. His favourite flavour? Curry, also the smelliest one :lol:

They also sold them in individual packets but I can't remember how much they were. I get my mug shots from there for 33p each.

They will deliver if you order online and spend £50!!! Rather steep but you can pay for delivery also

Amazon sell yumyum noodle bricks in boxes of 30 for £8. As far as my research goes they are authentic Thai instant noodles and also very popular in Denmark and The Netherlands.

I'm fond of koka noodles but the yumyum brand are absolutely amazing! The sachet in the beef version is like plasticine (it dissolves just fine BTW), so must contain oil, which will probably affect its shelf life. The veggy version has its oil in a second, smaller sachet so at least its optional. Curry sachet is powder, don't know what the chicken or shrimp are like though, they were out of stock when I last ordered.

Highly recommended.

I can't eat wheat or barley but get flour, pasta, bread, noodles and other stuff from The Natural Grocery Store in Bath Road, Cheltenham and they deliver all over UK. Another good place is Whole Foods. Their rice noodles are great and double as "spaghetti". Try to locate specialised Asian and Indian stores they are brilliant for stuff made from different grains. Hope this helps!

Koka should be fine, its just noodles, the little packet might turn solid though so either a good bash to break it up or season with your own choice of flavours which is always nicer.
