It’s my first time having luo si fen (螺螄粉). I always want to try it but dare not to. The smell can be overwhelming. I’m afraid that if I ordered it in the shop, I couldn’t finish it. Usually, it is not cheap!
Then one day, I saw there’s offer at the supermarket for the instant luo si fen. I decided to buy it to try. Here’s the video of me unboxing and cooking it. Just follow the instructions printed on the packaging will do.
Oh boy! The smell was so strong and it stunk the whole house *LOL* The base is actually made from river snail. The smelliness seemed to be from the bamboo shoot instead of the snail soup. However, when eating it, it’s actually quite appetizing. Started with one mouth and you kept going for second, third, and more.
Beware! The aftertaste actually lingered in the mouth and throat for quite a while. You might give out smelly breath hahaha! Just like after eating durian.
Anyway, I would say that luo si fen an acquired taste. It’s acceptable to me but definitely not something I’ll crave for. Have you ever tried it before? What do you think? Do you like it?
