It took a little finagling to wrap my head around this one – insofar as translation. Bar code was a no-go and the only English text referred to the caloric content and not much else. But what helped was that phone number with the 070 prefix. Boom! They were even kind enough to have an English version of their website. So, let’s check out this South Korean variety!
Ollebadang Jeju Red-Banded Lobster Cup Ramen – South Korea
Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Contains shrimp. To prepare, add in metallic sachet contents and teabag style sachet and fill to line with boiling water for 4 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy – mentions better taste if you leave the teabag in during the meal.

The noodle block.
A soup base sachet.
A teabag style sachet with shrimp ingredients.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added shrimp, spring onion, mung bean sprout, and sesame seed. The noodle is as they said – definitely a potato noodle with a little more oomph of chewiness. The broth was nice; a spicy South Korean standard augmented with a nice lobster flavor. Very prawny honestly. Tasty! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 8809412911117.
