Lipton :: U.S.A. Brand | »

Lipton is tapping into the Asian cuisine with this “Asian Sides” product line. The flavor is good, but the taste is too weak to pass for a real Thai cuisine. It has a sweet, weak soy taste with a note of cilantro, sesame seeds and barely a hint of lemon grass. The noodles tasted more like a macaroni product, not “lo mein” as labeled.
