    i just stocked up on a bunch of these when they were on a sale at woolworths the green curry is pretty good if you ask me

  • Aren't these effectively just rice/noodles and some spices, which are cheaper to get separately anyway?

      probably if you can make a green curry or red curry from scratch all power to you but for a cooking novice like me this is probably the easiest way

      I'm with you! I got excited and checked out the product …. then saw I have to add meat and rice…. gawd! A true ozbargainer would by a jar of sharwoods curry paste from coles for $4 which will last about 40 meals, then add to your own meat and rice. Can't get more cooking simple than this - fry/stew/boil/roast the meat (even toast it?) with a teaspoon of your favourite flavour sharwoods curry paste, boil and drain your rice, and you're salivating in no time. And hard core ozbargainers will cook up a kilo or two of meat (coles $6/kg mince, or something more exotic), a bucket load of jasmine rice (on special at coles 5Kg for dunno… $7?) and make about 10 meals that they can freeze in their decor 900ml oblong containers (on special at coles for $3). Total cost… about $25 for 10 meals, and you now have 5 free storage containers for next time!
      (excuse my verbosity, but when I saw the stuck key comment above had earned a negative vote I was horrified!!)

    Does Aldi stock them as well???

    • It's a Wednesday special for this week :)

  • Pad Thai and San Choy Bow are pretty awesome!

    • +1

      Had the San Choy Bow last night with pork mince and wasn't very impressed. Seemed to lack flavour to me. I bought one of everthing to try them so will see how the rest of them go.

      • haha I had it last night as well with chicken mince , it was just "ok" , definitely a bit more flavour req but the was a hit with the kids

      Obviously you never had Pad Thai before

      • +4

        Haha.. they should call me the pad thai queen… I would say I'm an expert. Nowhere near as good as Thailand, nor a select few restaurants in Melbourne (e.g. Jinda), but surprisingly better than many of my local Thai restaurants.
        Anywho each to their own! I balanced out the sauce with extra lime and chilli. Anyone who knows Thai cooking knows the importance of balancing out the sweet, salty, spicy and tangy.
        For a meal kit that makes a quick and easy, cheap dinner (cost me $7.00 for 3 large serves), I was really impressed.

    After using the San Choy Bow last night I think you would have to be crazy to pay $7.xx for these. I even think $3.72 is pushing it for value since you have to provide most of the ingredients (cost wise) anyway.

    these are great for a quick dinner - we personally love the red curry one with chicken pieces, and adding shiitake mushrooms as well is yummo.

    If you like a serious kick, chopping up the provided dried chilli will make it really spicy

    • Probably taste even better if you didn't use those shiit mushrooms.

  • +1

    I stocked up some red and green curry over the weekend. These kits do a really good and simple job of teaching you how to cook curry.

    I won't be buying them again. I think I could progress into the next level and that is buying the ingredients myself.

    • Check out this MasterChef here

  • Bought the green curry one 50pct off at woolies. Really enjoyed it, will try the rest of the range.

  • The best one was the malaysian one but it was discontinued a while ago :(

  • Yah!!! I love the Side-Show Bob kit!!!
