Three sachets — noodle block, seasoning powder and chilli paste. Ready in 3 minutes. 55 g. Manufactured by Thai President Foods Public Company Limited, Thailand. Halal certified. Barcode: 8850987141058.

Why Mama Tom Yum Is Different

There are many "tom yum"-branded noodle products outside Thailand. None of them is the original Thai product. Mama Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum is produced in Thailand, by Thai President Foods, using real Thai ingredients: shrimp powder, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves in the seasoning blend. The difference is unmistakable from the first spoonful: genuine umami, real lime tartness, the aromatic warmth of lemongrass and a creamy broth texture delivered by the milk protein and cream powder in the seasoning base.

What Is Tom Yum

Tom yum is Thailand's national soup with over 700 years of history. Its base is lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, fish sauce and lime. The flavour profile is spicy, sour and deeply aromatic. The creamy version — Tom Yum Nam Khon — adds coconut milk or a cream base, softening the heat and creating a velvety broth. This is exactly the style captured in Mama Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does original Thai Mama differ from similar products sold outside Thailand?

Original Mama is produced exclusively in Thailand by Thai President Foods and contains authentic Thai ingredients: real shrimp powder, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves. Locally produced imitations use synthetic flavouring and lack the depth of authentic Thai spice composition. The flavour difference is immediately noticeable.

What does "Creamy" Tom Yum mean?

Creamy Tom Yum — Tom Yum Nam Khon in Thai — is a style where a cream component is added to the classic spicy-sour base. In this product it is achieved through milk protein and cream powder in the seasoning sachet. The result is a softer, richer, more velvety broth compared to the standard clear tom yum.

Is the product Halal certified?

Yes. Mama Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum is Halal certified. This is confirmed on the official Thai President Foods website.

Does the product contain allergens?

Yes. Contains: Gluten (wheat flour), soy (soy sauce), crustaceans (shrimp powder), milk (cream powder with milk protein). Those with allergies to these ingredients should avoid this product.
