• MAMA is Thailand’s most iconic instant noodle brand, produced by Thai President Foods PCL, founded in 1972.

• MAMA launched Thailand’s first instant noodles and remains a market leader, with 50%+ domestic share and exports to 50+ countries.

 What is MAMA Creamy Shrimp Tom Yum?

• A variation of the classic MAMA Shrimp Tom Yum, this version adds a rich, creamy element to the hot-and-sour broth.

• It mimics the “Nam Khon” style of Tom Yum in Thailand (creamy tom yum made with evaporated milk or coconut milk), popular at street stalls and restaurants.

 Flavor Profile

• Broth taste:

  • Spicy and tangy Tom Yum base infused with a creamy, slightly coconut-like richness.

  • Bright notes from lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, and lime juice powder.

  • Umami from shrimp powder and fish sauce powder.

  • Balanced heat: bolder than basic chicken or beef ramen but manageable for most spice fans.

• Noodle texture: Thin, fast-cooking wheat noodles designed to soak up broth flavors.

Compared to regular MAMA Tom Yum: This version is smoother, with added body and subtle creaminess that tempers the sourness and spice.
