Viral Instant Noodle Trend Takes Over Thai Social Media
A Thai instant noodle hack using Quick Sab Tom Klong flavor loaded with fresh spring onions has exploded across TikTok, Facebook, and Lemon8. The trend sparked cross-brand variations with Mama, Wai Wai, and halal noodles, even drawing a playful response from a rival brand owner. The simple recipe has become a nationwide social media phenomenon stirring up the instant noodle market.
The viral menu everyone wants to try is proven by TikTok and Facebook feeds full of recipe variations. People boil Quick Sab Tom Klong instant noodles and load them with fresh spring onions — some cut into segments, some dropped in whole. The trend began when regular consumers tried cooking Quick Sab Tom Klong flavor with large amounts of fresh spring onions, then posted cooking and tasting clips on TikTok and Facebook. Viewers followed suit, reviewing and sharing in a chain reaction. Quick Sab is produced by Thai Food Product Factory Limited, which also makes Wai Wai noodles. The Tom Klong flavor has been on the market for a long time, not a new product. Cross-brand trend: As the craze grew, many consumers applied the same recipe to other brands' Tom Klong noodles. On Lemon8 and TikTok appear posts for "Mama Tom Klong with Spring Onions," "Wai Wai Quick Tom Klong with Spring Onions," and even halal versions using other brands. This prompted the Quick Tom Klong brand owner to post playfully: "Whatever, whatever, call yourself Mama one day. Whoever tried Mama Tom Klong, tag us." It's become a trend stirring up the whole instant noodle industry. Basic recipe for those wanting to try the hit menu: 1 pack Quick Sab Tom Klong flavor, 3-10 fresh spring onions to taste (sliced or whole), optional additions: egg, minced pork, shallots, chili flakes. Boil water, add minced pork if using, then noodles and seasoning. Add spring onions at the end — don't overcook to keep them fragrant and crisp. Crack in an egg, then turn off heat.
