Gimmick restaurant style pot noodles at Tommy Yummy

Tommy Yummy has been on my to go list because of the gimmick pot noodles.
Finally went and it was one of those scan to order style restaurants which is annoying.
I'd rather they had a mobile ipad or some device to let people order online because it would be more convenient and you can view it like a menu with friends or whoever you are dining with.
The day and night menu is very different, during the day they have express lunch sets for those looking for a quick lunch, however the choices for lunch are more basic as you can imagine as it has to be quick.
I visited during lunch which was probably the wrong decision because of the queue and choices but luckily they still had what I was after.
Now to the star of the show the Stir Fried cup noodle with seafood which really matches the style of the owner Tommy hence the name Tommy Yummy!!!
As expected, you get served a plate of noodles with a cup noodle cup as if it was just poured out.
Overall, nice tom yum flavours but a bit too spicy for my palate and there were so many chilli seeds which were annoying.
I was expecting the long octopus tentacle show on many pics of this dish on social media but it was not in my dish.
Interestingly, I found two different types of instant noodles in the noodle, one was the round strands and the other was the flat strands just like regular Nissin cup noodles.
After looking at pictures of this dish, it seems that I got a mix of different noodles because they probably ran out of the flat instant noodles which is really sad because the round strands are not as good as the thin flat strands in terms of mouthfeel and taste.
The cup noodle paper cup was tailor made for the Tommy Yummy restaurant which can be seen in the design.
Overall, I tried it for the experience so probably wouldn't order this again but I do like their coconut pandan soda drink which I might come back for.
