The great Shin Cup search continues…
Saturday 11th March 2006 at 10:07 pm
Here is a photo of a Nong Shim Shin Cup, last seen on the shelves of our local Sainsbury’s on Tottenham Court Road back in August 2005. If anyone has any information on the where abouts of this tasty noodle based snack (and no don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a Pot Noodle) then please get in touch.
Update: Here’s a nice little advert for the Nong Shim Shin Cup on youtube
Very much available in China town in London
If your in London, you can get shin cups and others from the range at the Portland Street newsagent which is 1/2 way up Portland Street off Oxford Street. Price is currently 99p… Enjoy :p (im eating one now as i type)
Oh my god its been far too long, any idea if any online sources have the shrimp/prawn one? I used to love that flavour.
There’s quickimart in Manchester Chinatown that stocks the hot and spicy variety.
Videogames plus Nong Shim Raymen= Good times!
Oh my god, i’ve been without the shin goodness for about 2 years now, i’d tried everything, making my own etc. then took my search to the web when i couldn’t take it no more, talk about goin snackpot cold turky. And here, i find orientalmart.co.uk ,Irradiated? who the hell gives a sh*t, i’ve just ordered me a load. Peace.
Well certainly seems like these things are popular… didn’t realise back when I posted this that there was some many others deprived of their goodness.
As for myself I’ve found my local supply at the Center Point Food Store on St Giles High St .
Also any Facebookers out there, I’ve set a I love Shin Cup group up so hopefully see you there!!
I have been told they’re back in stock and will be forever!! http://www.orientalmart.co.uk

has anyone tried these guys before? they have a bunch of other noodles that I want to try, but I haven’t shopped with them before…
They’re on offer at orientalmart at the moment.
Just bough 24 6 packs of Shin Raymen
Make sure to bulk buy as the postage and packaging is expensive otherwise!
What’s happening homies, thought I’d pop in and see how ya all doin.
Not had any Nong Shim in a while. I started a kick ass new job and that, along playing out with my pals has prevented me from visiting Chinatown for some months.
You can tuck the money into the top of my Spidey-pance, but don’t slap my butt.
Hy!
Go to Trieu Asia Shop in Leonding Parkpassage in Austria and you’ll be able to buy Shin Cups and every other soup you want! This store’s just great. You can buy everything, thats comes in your mind when you think about asian food! Springrolls, liquor, crab crackers, soups, sauces, EVERYTHING (I go crazy)!
hope i could help, if you want one, send me an email and i’ll send it per mail (real mail, you know, post, the yellow cars (post.at)) (for free!)

see ya!
I was at a friends house recently and while rooting in her cupboards I found 3 shin cups! When I asked if I could have one she said she did not like them (!) so I got 3 cups for free!
Bonus.
I love Shin Cups, you can buy large and small ones from a Korean / Japanese deli in Cathays Cardiff. I went to Korea recently and I’m not a proud owner of some Shin Cup socks!
No wonder no one has been able to find them!
UK Ban
Nong Shim Shin Cup Noodles (along with other Nong Shim Pot Noodle products in the “Oolongmen” range including Beef, Chicken, Seafood and Kimchi flavours) were withdrawn from sale in the UK by their importer G. Costa & Company Ltd in 2005 due to the undeclared presence of irradiated ingredients.[3]
As of 2008, imports of Shin Cup noodles into the UK have been re-established.
Thanks so much for the link to oriental mart guys!
I just ordered my first batch of Shin Cups in some 3 years.
I can’t wait to have them again, I remember them as be being super spicy!
Found some shin cups in an oriental shop in York (near to the Ramada Encore Hotel). Great !!
We use to sell these wonderful noodles, but had to stop due to the undeclared ingredients (irradiated prawns). I still eat them most weeks, so someone has different rules to us, but hey I still buy them. They are availble from Korea Foods on the A3 in New Malden – not the easiest palce to fine. The full details are:

Nice and tasty!
Wow I just found a place that stocks these tasty treats, so happy now!
I’m about to eat one now! I picked a few up in a Chinese supermarket in Leeds last weekend.
Just picked some up at Japan Centre on Piccadilly in London. Very spicy, very tasty. Pot noodles, these aren’t!
This is a good place to get shin cups online if you can’t find any locally, they sell them individually and in 12 cup boxes.

you can get them at most asian food stores, they have them in New malden at the local korean shop and have seem them at similar stores elsewhere
Goddamn! these noodles are the absolute mouth orgasm.
Grabbed 4 cups from the Chinese in Leeds market today- 89p per cup. To find the store I asked a random NCP for directions and as she relayed the info I felt like Ryo Hazuki. Now I just gotta watch the wench don’ eat em all.
I cant believe there are so many people that love shin cups!!! these things are great, just the right amount of spice and perfect when you come back from a night out. Interestingly has anyone noticed that when you drink beer with shin cup your mouth feels spicier?? it defo does mine!
Introduced a mate the other day and he had 3 in 24 hrs! Check out the facebook group i love shin cups if youre not already amember of the group.
65p each, £4.50 shipping, these guys are the cheapest!

My local Asda sells them,Wembley,London. 60p!!! Brillant for me.
AMAZON now have these…YAAAAY
OMG! 60p each? shame it’s too far! will have to look in our local Asda.
Had these over toast for breakfast this morning and I tell you all- it was delicious!
Just had one, added peas, sweetcornamnd chicken for nutrition! Can get from good old Asda at only 60p each, bargain or what!!!
They stopped selling these at our local Tesco in Northampton. I would kill for a Shin Cup. (Not sure about the mouth orgasm though)
