Little Cook Mushroom Vegetarian Premium Noodle - with retort pouch of fresh braised exotic vegetables. As you can see from the image, there are lot of good size mixed vegetarian goodies, including peanut, mushroom, bamboo, delicate curd skin and lily flower. It’s a tasty varieties of flavors and textures, especially the succulent meaty texture of the generous slices of mushroom - like grilled portabellos.

It’s a very nutritious traditional herbal soup with a wonderful braised earthy taste. Add a dash of sweet balsamic or wine vinergar to the soup and you got a special treat! I loved it, although I’m not sure it for everyone. This item is rarely found even for large Asian groceries.
