Cup Noodle Museum
This unique museum offered visitors the opportunity to create their own Cup Noodles from scratch. You can choose your flavors, toppings, and even design your packaging. The museum also featured exhibits that showcase the history and evolution of Cup Noodles, as well as the manufacturing process. It’s a fun and educational experience for all ages and a must-visit destination for any Cup Noodles enthusiast.
The Cup Noodles Museum was a fascinating destination located in the bustling district of Tsim Sha Tsui. This unique museum allowed users to discover the inspiring story behind the invention of cup noodles and their visionary founder, Mr. Momofuku Ando. The museum offered a range of exhibits and displays that showcase the history and evolution of cup noodles, as well as the cultural significance of this beloved food item. When it was open, making an online appointment beforehand was highly recommended to secure a spot.
Workshops
Apart from the Cup Noodles Factory, there are two more factories – the Granola Factory and the Demae Iccho Factory. The Granola Factory offers a wide variety of delicious and healthy granola options that are perfect for breakfast or as a snack. On the other hand, the Demae Iccho Factory is where you can be personally involved in the production process of the famous Demae Iccho instant noodles. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the history and culture of this beloved Japanese food. When the museum was active, visitors had to make a reservation online to secure a spot in these popular workshops.
In this post, I will talk about my experience with the Cup Noodles Factory.
Cup Noodles Factory
The Cup Noodles Factory is a popular attraction where you can create your custom cup noodles. The whole process takes about 30 minutes and costs HKD 60. It’s a fun and interactive experience that’s perfect for noodle lovers of all ages.
Briefing
Before we started, the staff briefly explained the procedures to us while we were waiting outside the room. Once we entered the room, we were given a plain cup and a plastic cover. The staff then guided us to the area where we could design our cups.
Design your cup noodles
Unleash your inner artist and showcase your creativity by designing your very own cup using the wide range of materials provided. You’ll have the opportunity to select your preferred soup base and toppings from a form that will be provided to you. Get ready to let your imagination run wild and create a cup that is uniquely yours! I enjoyed this part of the workshop the most.
Reverse Assembly
We had an amazing experience creating our very own cup noodles! After we designed our cup and handed it over to the staff, they filled it with our choice of soup flavor and toppings. This process is called Reverse Assembly. You can watch how the whole process is being made through the glass window. The staff asked us to rotate the machine and just like that, our personalized cup noodles were sealed and ready to be devoured! It was such a unique experience.
Packaging
To ensure that the cup noodles are securely packaged, the last step involves pumping air into the package. It’s worth noting that the noodles have a shelf life of one month from the date they were created, so it’s important to consume them before the expiry date.
Gift Shop
Don’t forget to check out the gift shop near the exit for unique flavors of Nissin ramen, cup noodles, granola, keychains, towels, and other merchandise.
