Maggi Cuppa Mania
By Sid • May 2nd, 2008 • Category: Ready to Eat Food, Reviews |
I’ve been seeing advertisements for Maggi Cuppa Mania for some time now and since instant noodles constitute my sole source of nourishment (whatever thats worth) at times, I thought of trying it out yesterday.
I normally purchase Top Ramen noodles or perhaps some of these Thai or Malaysian noodles. Have you tried those BTW? They come with noodles, a small pack of flavored oil, a small pack of powdered spice, a pack of shrimp or other meat depending on the flavor and a little collapsible fork that snaps into place when unfolded. Mixing everything together, you get this really lovely flavor thats hard to beat. Which brings me to Maggi Cuppa Mania. We tried the ‘Chilly Chow Yo’ pack (where do they come up with these names from??). Its vegetarian and has quite a small portion of noodles in it with some peas and assorted vegetables. Maggi has failed quite miserably with this particular product as the taste is horrendous. It isn’t quite spicy nor does it have the familiar taste of Maggi Noodles (which we’ve gotten used to over the years). Though it cooks quite fast and includes a little fork, the flavor simply isn’t there. If Nestle replaces the little fork with a little flavor, they probably have a winner. Until then, Top Ramen rules! - Sid |

Yuck! We have something called Pot Noodle here which sounds similar. I tried one once - never again! I don’t even eat instant soups, think of all the additives…
Hi! man,
U’ll say LTNSee!
Well I did try the NEW “Maggi Cuppa Mania” n my verdict is in one word - SHIT!
Yes, they are just like that brand of noodles we had long time back, dont even remember if it still exists, Top Ramen somethin, though they had good coomercials in India at that time to woo kids.
BTW, did u try Maggi Atta Noodles, the Munwa ko Mania hoi gawa commercial.
I’m getting so used to them, that I dont like have the regular Masala noodels now.
YUMs! the word.
Hi Jas, Yeah, the atta noodles are interesting. I remember Maggi had come out with a sweet flavor of noodles at one point. Didn’t really take off, so it disappeared quite fast.
Maggi is an junk food. This is attracted by each and every children.Mothers are very relaxing because of Maggi.Its very easy to make and serve it.
