I left Chandigarh and got settled in kanpur. I used to have a `stockpile` of Maggie as an emergency reserve which is easy to cook food.Our Canteen Stores Department(CSD) used to have only two noddles Top Ramen and Maggie.
Maggie was tasty, but primarily because of concessional rate, I did not opt for having any alternate of Maggie.
But, I had a chance here as in Kanpur. Here CSDs are overloaded with buyers and due to some mis management of the CSD, the serving personnel have started avoiding it for certain items.
Maggie cost at the CSD is around Rs 8(Market price Rs 12) for only 80 grams. Whereas The Yippee Noodles was costing Rs 10 for 90 gram.... a lure for have a `taste drive`. I took one in anticipation of a pleasant change from Maggie at a competitive price.
PACKAGING
Very nice.
Orange colour back ground, soothing to eyes. Front portion has a photograph of a prepared Yippee with a funny animation. Also the variety of Masala is mentioned like the Classic Masala. The back portion has Nutrition Information,Ingradient list for Masala and the Noodles separately. It also has cooking method with the help of Diagrams. At last it has given the website, e mail and other contact details for the feedback.
The Noodle
Very attractive two layered Round noodle. Fits easily in the cooking utensils without any need to break into pieces like the rectangular Maggie. As per the instruction, I put some 600 ml of water for two packets to boil and put the round noodles into it. Soon I added the given Masala too which is longer in size as compared to Maggie.
The background colour came as if Some good amount of Mirch powder was added. My new `Maggie` was ready. But my family was not yet ready to have it. It took some 15 minutes to have it.
But to my pleasant surprise, It did not become sticky and remained tasty as served hot. My family was not told that it was not Maggie.
After the consumption, my husband told that Maggie has been improved !!
I told, it was ITC Sunfest Yippee. Now, my husband himself brings this in the place of Maggie.
Verdict
For Rs 10 it is a better replacement for Maggie. I am loving it .Go for a trial.
