I am a Thai food nut - my late aunt was from Thailand and cooked for us often growing up and I became a Thai food freak long before it was fashionable. I'm pretty picky - so when I say this I mean this as quite a compliment.

I'm eating a box of Red Curry Noodles from A Taste of Thai that I prepared in the microwave - and it's not bad. Not bad at all. They are a bit pricey for these types of meals ($3.50 a box compared to like $.10 for those other noodle dishes), but worth it.

Let's put it this way, for $3.50 and a bit of work would I rather have these Thai noodles than something from a fast food place.

I just checked their website and they don't sell in St. Louis. I wish I could think of the brand that I get from time to time. It's not very authentic, but it is pretty tasty.

I found them with the other microwaveable oriental dishes - next to those crappy Maruchan Instant Lunches if you are familiar with those.

I think it's a good serving portion for a meal. The nutritional info says 2 servings per containter at 240 calories each - so 480 calories for an entire box. They had several different types, I just picked up the curry and the pad thai. I usually eat lunch at my desk and am always looking for something new, and these were by far some of the best instant type lunches I've ever had.

edit - omaha I just reread your post - if you are looking for a meal for you and your wife I would definitely pick up a couple. It says 2 servings but it's not.

perfect.. i'll be looking for them next stop at the grocery store..

Okay, jim, I just bought some of the Pad Thai noodles to give it a try. $3.10 at Shop'n'Save.

I'll have to see if they sell those out here.

This is the one I usually buy.

This wasn't bad, but there's an awful lot of sodium in there. I guess that's true of most Asian foods.
