wai wai


Today I stared at the searched engine and didn't know what to do online, my computer was really slow and I got really bored.
So I went to type my name in the search engine, and guess what I found !

Wai-Wai (food)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wai Wai (Nepali: वाई वाई) is a very popular brand of instant noodles produced by CG Foods in Nepal and India. It is highly popular all over Nepal and Sikkim, West Bengal and other parts of India.

Wai Wais can be eaten straight from the package or cooked in soup form. Unlike ordinary noodles, wai wai is pre-cooked, flavoured, seasoned and fried before packaging. It comes in various seasoning flavours. A pack of Wai Wai includes chili powder, masala (mixed spices) and onion oil which can be used to prepare the soup. Wai Wais are rich in carbohydrates, minerals and proteins. Chicken and vegetarian flavoured Wai Wai are the most popular flavours.

Wai Wai is perhaps the most common brand of dry foods in Nepal.[citation needed] Instant noodles consist of a major part of the dry foods sold in Nepal and are available in any part of the country. Being light weight and containing rich nutritional values, the brand is also very popular among trekkers and mountaineers.

Wai Wai produced in Nepal used to be imported to India. The rising popularity of Wai Wai in India led CG Foods to open factories in India. Wai Wai has gained popularity in about thirty countries around Asia and Europe, with most foreign tourists taking a liking to it and importing it into their respective countries.[citation needed]

Wai Wai was launched in Nepal initially with the collaboration of Thai Foods Industries, and has led to establishment of a huge market for instant noodles in Nepal. After about 2 decades, there are over 20 different brands of instant noodles in Nepal, providing various seasoning, flavours and diets.

Hahahaha, so FUNNY....!

So now you know what I'm made of......


Wai could also mean.....


In Thailand, people do not traditionally shake hands. The usual greeting and farewell gesture is the wai (pronounced like 'why'), holding the hands together in a prayer-like gesture in front of the chest or face. Depending on the seniority of the person one is wai-ing, the pressed palms will be positioned in various places; to people less senior in social rank or age, the wai is performed over the chest, whereas to people much higher in the social scheme of things, the why will be over one’s face, with the tip of one’s fingers touching the nose. It is usual to accompany a wai with a beaming smile.

The wai is derived from the religious gesture known as anjali in Pali, the language of Theravada Buddhism. It is an ancient form of respect still found in India to this day, and practiced in various forms across Asia from Katmandu to Tokyo. In Theravada Buddhism, the main religion of Thailand, it is performed by laity towards monks and by junior monks to senior ones.
