Koka Purple Wheat Noodles Singapore

Koka Noodles is the Singaporean instant noodle brand that uses purple wheat (anthocyanin-rich wheat) as the noodle base, giving the product a distinctive appearance and genuinely higher antioxidant content than standard instant noodles. The flavor range (Char Kway Teow, Curry, and Mushroom) draws on Singaporean hawker center flavors that are essentially unavailable in other instant noodle brands. The Char Kway Teow variety attempts the flat rice noodle stir-fry dish that is one of Singapore most iconic street foods — and succeeds better than expected in the instant format, using a dark soy sauce base with sesame oil that captures the wok hei smokiness through aromatic compounds in the oil packet. Blind tasting score: 7.3 out of 10. Best suited for: travelers who have eaten in Singapore and want an approximation of those flavors, and for anyone bored with the Japanese-Korean-Chinese flavor dominance of the instant ramen market.
