#10: Nissin Cup Noodles Seafood Curry Flavour
Curry is one of my favorite flavors and here, Nissin has augmented their Seafood Cup Noodles with – you guessed it: curry flavor! Ample noodles are complimented by a rich curry broth full of great flavor. They include lots of bits such as corn and seafood which hydrates very nicely. This one’s been on the list since its inception. Original review
#9: Doll Instant Noodles Artificial Chicken Flavour
Pretty easy to find along with many others in this range. This was my favorite chicken noodle for quite a while – nice chicken taste and great fried noodles come together in a good way. Very easily upgraded with some egg. Original review
#8: Nissin Demae Ramen Sesame Oil Flavour Noodles With Soup Base
One big bowl of noodles! A big noodle block hydrates well and floats in ample broth with a nice sesame flavor. Lots of included garnish – one might say scads! The new version has little fishcake with the Demae Ramen kid on them – tasty and fun! Original review
#7: Nissin Seafood Flavour Rice Vermicelli
A nice little cup with some great features. The vermicelli comes out soft and light which I found very enjoyable. The broth is creamy and full of garnish – doesn’t make you feel gorged but very much satisfied. Original review
#6: Sau Tao Jiangnan Style Spicy Noodle
The noodles have a nice tooth to them and are of excellent quality. The flavor is kind of like a spicy, almost beefy, nutty taste which works very well with the noodle. Really hard to put this one down. Original review
#5 Sau Tao Non-Fried Abalone Noodle
The noodles in this one are simply grand. The have a bouncy chewiness like none I’ve had before and are really fun for my mouth to chew. The flavor is very savory and works so well with the noodle. I’m really happy I got to try this; all these varieties I’ve tried and yet every once in a while something just gobsmacks me with it’s unique nature. Original review
#4: Nissin Demae Ramen Straight Noodle Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu
Hong Kong’s first appearance on the annual top ten (2017). First, these noodles are very good – nice chew and round gauge. Very impressed. Next, the broth is just perfection; a creamy pork tonkotsu broth, savory and rich, is enhanced by the addition of black garlic oil. Original review
#3: Nissin Demae Ramen Straight Noodle Spicy Tonkotsu Flavor Instant Noodle
The noodles are thin and straight with a very nice chew. The broth is a melange of spicy and milky tonkotsu that had a deep and rich flavor. The heat isn’t so strong you’ll be running for the hills, but it’s respectable insofar as it is spicy but doesn’t overwhelm the underlying tonkotsu flavor. Original review
#2: Sau Tao Laksa Flavour Ramen
Sau Tao has to heavyweight featuring Southeast Asian flavors which are just spectacular. This laksa is absolutely wonderful stuff. A soft noodle with a lovely texture is married to an absolutely luxuriant laksa broth. Very rich and full bodied, with excellent texture, color, and a really nice flavor I thoroughly enjoyed. Original review
#1: Sau Tao Tom Yum Kung Flavour Ramen
This is the second of the two amazing Southeast Asian flavors from Sau Tao. I should mention that they pair these with many different styles of noodle and they work incredibly well with all of them. This one really surprised me; it’s the best tom yum noodle I’ve had. Ever. Yeah – and it’s from Hong Kong of all places – pretty darn far from Thailand! The pairing of straight noodles with an absolutely delicious tom yum broth really goes well. This stuff just wowed me – typing right now, I could go for some! Original review
