August 16 Frozen Meal: Tai Pei Shrimp Fried Rice

Monday, 2010 September 20 - 12:17 pm

"Shrimp, vegetables, and fried rice". They really don't spend much time on their frozen-lunch buzzwords. Other lunches would say something like "savory shrimp and tender vegetables on a bed of Asian-inspired fried rice".

Box

Box

Meal

This is the last one of these Tai Pei meals I'll eat. Ever.

Taste: It's a lot like the chicken fried rice from before, though perhaps not quite as strongly soy-sauce-flavored. The shrimp is rubbery and bland; the vegetables are unremarkable. This is just another production-line meal: no thought to flavors or textures. Score: 2.0/5.0

Nutrition

Nutrition: Precisely two servings in this box, so that comes to:

calories: 460

calories from fat: 100

fat: 12 g

saturated fat: 1 g

cholesterol: 40 mg

sodium: 2100 mg

carbohydrates: 72 g

fiber: 4 g

sugar: 2 g

protein: 14 g

vitamin A: 70%

vitamin C: 8%

calcium: 8%

iron: 12%

2100 mg of sodium? Yikes. Score: 1.0/3.0

Packaging: Just throw the whole box in the microwave. Score: 2.0/2.0

Total Score: 5.0/10.0. Like I said: I'll never eat these Tai Pei meals again.
