Viral 'Quick Zabb Tom Khlong with Spring Onions' Trend Sweeps Thailand
A simple culinary trend involving instant noodles and fresh spring onions has become a viral sensation across Thai social media platforms.
A new food trend has taken over Thai social media, with TikTok, Facebook, and Lemon8 users sharing their versions of 'Quick Zabb Tom Khlong with spring onions.' The recipe involves preparing the long-standing 'Tom Khlong' flavored instant noodles—produced by Thai President Foods, the maker of Wai Wai—and topping them with a generous amount of fresh spring onions, either chopped or whole.
What began as a niche experiment by individual consumers has evolved into a widespread phenomenon. The trend has grown so significantly that it has transcended the specific brand, with users applying the recipe to various other instant noodle brands. The popularity of the dish has even prompted the official Quick Zabb social media channels to acknowledge the trend, playfully inviting fans of other brands to join the conversation.
For residents and travelers, this trend highlights the dynamic nature of Thai food culture, where simple, accessible ingredients can quickly turn a standard convenience store meal into a social media event. While the recipe is straightforward, it serves as a reminder of how digital trends influence local dining habits. As of now, it remains to be seen how long this viral interest will persist or if other instant noodle variations will emerge as the next social media favorite.
