Noodle talk: Maggi or Lucky Me or Nissin? LOL  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines 3 years ago

i am a certified Maggi Noodles Kid - still am now though it saddens me that there are only few production of maggi noodles in groceries. and most "sari sari" stores now are selling lucky me. i also like maggi's instant spaghetti.

i have nothing against lucky me, in fact, i do buy their products whenever i ran out of stock (which is Maggi noodles). because it's good to have noodles whenever it rains. it's a nice feeling to be able to sip a hot soup.

i remember before, when i was a kid - the disney aladdin movie became so popular and a stickers were freebies in every purchase of Maggi noodles. i would always pester my aunt in buying dozens of them so that i could collect them all. =)) good, good memories.

i also love the nissin - their instant noodles whenever at work. because all i have to do is pour an amount of hot water and voila - instant noodles. =) i like their "pancit canton" too. especially the original and seafood taste.

Hi there!

I also like Maggi Noodles the most. Even here in the province, there isn't much Maggi noodles sold in stores and even in the groceries. They are all dominated by Lucky Me and Payless.

But I have lots of special Lucky me Noodles memories. I used to sleep alot in my uncle's house where he practices with his band and we would have drinking sessions that would last until the sun threatens to come out again and those drinking sessions always end with hot lucky me.

I also love Nissin's cup noodles.


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

yes, i do agree that somehow, lucky me has won the hearts of the masses. i rarely see maggi noodles in "sari-sari" stores.

but it's a comfort food whenever cold season arrives. =) thanks for sharing nanay angel. =)

heyhey! was a maggi noodles kido too! haha..and yes, i remember those freebie stickers 'cause i used to have some aladdin also..and i wasn't so sure if they also had lion king?? 'cos i got stickers of it too that i posted in our now wrecked tv. haha. miss those days.. there will be a rain or storm, and classes will be suspended..then i'll watch tv while eating maggi chicken noodles w/ egg. oh..i so love that..anyway i can't imagine putting egg in beef noodles, haha.
on the other hand, i patronize more lucky me nowadays because of their "pancit canton" =) i so love it that one pouch of serving is not enough. haha. and it goes well with coffee!! mmm.... XD


myLot reputation of 86/100. lalapuff (144)   ranked 577 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

i forgot to mention anything 'bout nissin, haha..are they the one manufacturing yakisoba? those more instant no-cook type of noodles..that's my fave from them..guess they all have their own specialty =) happy posting!!!


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

yeah!!! lion king too!!! good thing you remebered!!! i feel like a kid again discussin this with you.

yeah, i think nissin is the manufacturer of those yakisoba noodles. and those cup noodles which is very handy.

i do agree with you, lucky me is good with their pancit canton. it has always been our "meryenda" time whenever my cousins and i bonded. and it's affordable too.


myLot reputation of 86/100. lalapuff (144)   ranked 577 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

hahaha..of course i remember..i think it really made our television ugly after the sticker starts breaking off the sides..and i kinda got a little bit scolded too since who would want their home appliance to have noodle stickers on?? hahaha..

hmmmm i am not much of a noodle person. but i think i like the maggi the best. but i find maggi hard to find. lol. that was a stupid remark... lol. i find maggi hard to find lol. lucky me is the popular one and can easy to buy on sari sari store. so for me first maggi then nissin but lucky me is popular. when i go to the supermarket i buy nissin. we mostly eat noodles on a rainy day. and sardines as well.


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

lol. i usually go for senorita sardines. most especially if i add some vinegar on it. i can consume the whole can of that sardines. and it's very appetizing. =)


now i am hungry. lol and it an hour pass midnight.

midnight snacks everyone? (^_^)


myLot reputation of 98/100. roniroxas (5916)   ranked 85 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

now we are both in a different discussion already. we are now on sardines. lol. i dont like sardines before. my dad only eat it on breakfast with bread so i grew up eating it only during breakfast with bread. as i became teen-ager and got friends when i joined a choral group in our parish church.... sometimes we practise the whole day and we only eat sardines and rice. do i have achoice? lol bawal mag-inarte. so i tried and wow i loved it.

We usually eat lucky me noodles since we have our own sari-sari store. Most of the noodles we're selling is Lucky Me, but we really like Nissin especially Nissin Cup Noodles. Its so yummy!


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

i guess you agree too that lucky me is really the popular one. =)

whenever i go to the grocery, i too buy some cup noodles because it can be used as a "baon" and it's very handy. very yummy indeed!

6. myLot reputation of 91/100. sudiptacallingu (8859)   3 years ago

Oh I think most Indians like me would vote for Maggi… it revolutionized the concept of home cooked fast food in India, you know. What could be better than having piping hot soup noodles within 5 minutes in the comfort of your home at an extremely affordable price? However, I feel Maggi should have evolved more and introduced instant noodles which do not require any boiling. For this I am a fan of Wai Wai noodles which I can have at office by just pouring some hot water on it and soaking it for a few minutes. Cant do that with Maggi.


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

yes, point taken. maggi has failed to explore more and be competitive.

i think our nissin here is the version of your Wai Wai there in India. because nssin provides cup noddles (though they don't provide spoon or fork) but it's very convenient most especially to those who are in a tight budget,

=) thank you for sahring sudip. =)

Hello totallyundecided! You are again totallyundecided about the noodles. But you really have your point there. I am also a maggie kid too. I remember about that aladdin thing because my siblings always fought about the stickers that I even thought if only I have siblings, all the stickers would be mine. But now, I buy lucky me especially when maggie started to increase their price. Now I noticed that maggie and luckyme have almost the same price, I started to buy maggie noodles again.


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

ahahahaha!! and you quoted my nick very well.

during the aladding time, we don't fight for teh stickers. lol. instead, we barter. at least in a peaceful way at the beginning - with my cousins - but as soon as we started arguing - there. the start throwing of pillows at each other and whatever karate moves we learn. then the crying follows. ahahaha!

oh, well. those were the days. =)


myLot reputation of 93/100. aisaellis22 (3568)   ranked 419 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

hahaha..oh yeah..I found out that I have many typos above..I am sorry..hehehe


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

me, too. sorry for the errors. lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. aisaellis22 (3568)   ranked 419 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

well, it's ok..I still can understand it anyway..hehehe

Guess what, i like Lucky Me Noodles because of their Pancit Canton chili flavor. I do like chili spicy recipes. And no matter what the flavor is, chicken or beef, as long as i can savor the taste of chili into it, i am going to buy it.

I also like Maggi noodles as a soup noodle. But i like Nissins Ramen better specially the ready to eat, just put hot water when I'm in the office because we have hot and cold water dispenser there.

If i don't have time to eat for breakfast, what i will do is to buy a nissins ramen or any ready to eat, just put hot water noodles so that i can eat at the canteen or in the office.


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

i haven't tasted the nissin Ramen yet but since i have read good recommendations from you, maybe in my next budget, i'll include that in my list.

i also got curious with the jjampong (did i spell it right?). it's also spicy right? maybe i'll indulge myself too.

and yes, i do agree with you about their spicy pancit canton - of lucky me - i like all their flavors. =)

now i should really make that midnight snack. this discussion is making me hungry. lol

Hi there titallyundecided! Before when I was a kid I loved Maggi very much, the chicken flavor..yummy. I'd love to watch every commercial they had before. But now it seems Maggi was forgotten, I don't know..maybe because there's a lot of brand noodles now. But now, I prefer and purchase Nissin. I like the seafood flavor of Nissin, very much! I love the ingredients, not too much salt on it. In Lucky Me...Oh I love the pancit canton. Sorry for being so biased my friend.. Well, I just loved noodles!w00t


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

not biased at all. that's why they are all made for us people to choose and i know we always have different preferences. =))

and yes, i agree that with nissin, they put much salt on it compare to lucky me.

hello!

Years back, I am a fan of Nissin. I like their noodles. One beef nissin with egg will be a good breakfast for me. But nowadays, I buy Lucky me Beef. I like it more than Maggi. (sorry. hehe) But same to you, I like maggi's spaghetti. We would always buy 4 pieces of that when we do the grocery.

have fun


myLot reputation of 99/100. totallyundecided (1218)   ranked 25 out of 3,626 in philippines  3 years ago

lol. no need to apologize and i understand how lucky has won the hearts of the people - it's cheaper comapre to maggi. =)


thank you amethyst. =)
