#639: Nissin Gozen Kitsune Udon
Kitsune Udon Gozen, as I type thy name into here, I am pretty sure you’ll be remembered as one of my all time favorites. This was purchased during a recent trip to Seattle to Uwajimaya. It was there that I truly began my journey into the world of the instant noodle so many years ago.
#638: GreeNoodle Yakisoba
Ah, my old adversary – the GreeNoodle! I’m hoping I like this one better than the ones I’ve had in the past – Yakisoba should be tasty; I hope!
#637: Snapdragon Pan-Asian Cuisine Chinese Mushroom Rice Noodle Soup
Chinese mushroom cup? Let’s give it a go…
Here are the side panels (click image to enlarge). I like the stickers – I’m curious why they re-did thje directions – were they not so easy last time?
#636: Yamamori Tom Yam Ramen Pork Flavor(Tomyankun Ramen Porkfu)
After tasting those last two earlier, I was ready to have something that looked really good – and here it is! Tom Yam noodles, made in Thailand and from Japan!
#635: Ottogi Buckwheat Bibim Ramyon
Otay! It’s time for some cold noodles – not usually my favorite but we’ll just have to give them a try.
#634: Baijia Sichuan Hot Pot Flavor Instant Sweet Potato Thread
This one was sent by Michelle L. of New York! Unfortunately, for this one I have exceedingly low expectations. Every Baijia product I’ve tried has been just plain gross in my opinion.

#632: Mr. Udon Oriental Udon Noodle Japanese Miso
Mr. Udon, I presume? I was looking in the fridge yesterday putting groceries away. A couple sodas wouldn’t fit – something was blocking them. Two packs of Mr. Udon noodles that I got early lasrt year. Hmmm… I wondered if they were still good – May 2012 exclaimed the expiration date! So let’s give this stuff a try before it goes bad!

#630: Ve Wong Kung-Fu Artificial Mushroom Pork Flavor Instant Oriental Noodle Soup
Here’s one that has been in the noodle bin since the trip to California my wife and son and I took in July! Time to eat. Mushroom pork just didn’t sound too good, but you know me, I have to try it.
#629: Master Kong Artificial Braised Beef Flavor Instant Noodle
Thanks again to Chad B. of Highland, Illinois for sending these Master Kong packs! Braised beef eh? Hmmm I wonder how this will be – if the Pork one was any indicator, I’m going to like this!

#627: Omachi Xốt Spaghetti Beef
Thanks to Todd T. of Everett, Washington for hooking me up with this one – he got it from a Vietnamese client. Spaghetti from Vietnam eh? Sounds interesting. Nothing at all is in English on this packaging, so I’m going to be winging it.

So I was looking around for ramen news to post here one day and I came across a blog post about bizarre foods. I put it on TRR and got a nice note frtom the bloggers! Now they’ve done a part two and been kind enough to mention The Ramen Rater! Here is a link to their blog.

#623: Wei-Wei “A” Series Instant Noodles Vegetarian Flavor
Here’s another one that was sent to me by Michelle L. of New York! I know… Yep – it’s a swastika, the symbol of the national socialist party of Germany in WWII, the Nazis. Well, Wei-Wei isn’t a Nazi company or has anything to do with oppression. On the complete opposite side, in the far east it represents the whole of creation as well as Buddhism. Wikipedia says:

Wasn’t expecting any more presents – Christmas is over! A lightweight box… Hmm…

I’ve heard now from two separate sources that this Kkokkomyeon stuff is really popular and is going to be a really big deal when it comes to the USA. Both a seller of instant noodles alluded to it as well as a mention by name by the lady at the Kitty House at 99 Ranch Market (they sell Hello Kitty stuff there).

#620: Vifon Phu Gia Mien Instant Bean Thread Bamboo Shoot & Artificial Pork Flavor
Another ‘bottom of the hamper’ pick. Not a huge fan of the bean thread – you surely know that if you’re a follower of this blog. Really hoping to become one though – maybe pork will change my view.
