So we went to 99 Ranch Market yesterday and turns out there were two more kinds of Doll instant noodles they had that I’ve not tried! So here’s the first, pickled vegetable.

#249: Unif-100 Artificial Spicy Beef Flavor Instant Noodles
Swore I’d reviewed this before. Well, here’s one from Unif.
From left going clockwise, veggies, powder soup base and oily thick stuff.
#220: Wei Lih Good Good Eat Super Ramen Original Flavor
Freaking awesome! From the folks that brought Everybody Likes Good Good Eat snacks, we now have Good Good Eat Super Ramen!!! Can’t wait to try this!
#210: Rocket Brand Satoimo Noodles
So. Rocket Brand Satoimo Noodles. These were next to some instant noodles at Uwajimaya in Seattle. Purple noodles. So what’s Satoimo? Wikipedia says:
#208: Sau Tao Ramen King Scallop Seafood Soup Flavored
So Kit noticed these at 99 Ranch Market yesterday – a four pack of them on sale pretty cheap. Thought it’d be something to try – fresh noodles, scallop flavor, heck yeah!
#181: Kamfen Noodle King (Thin) Wonton Soup Flavored
So another one of these big two serving bags. The last one wasn’t all that great so I guess we’ll see how this one fares.
#166: Koyo Garlic Pepper Ramen Made With Organic Noodles
So this came from a local snooty natural foods place in Edmonds. We’ll see how it is…
#165: Doll Instant Noodle Sesame Oil Flavour
Sesame oil flavor – shouldn’t be too hard to get this stuff right eh? We’ll see how this comes out.
#139: Kamfen Noodle King Beef Soup Flavored
So this is one of three packs of noodles I got that are actually two packs. This one was just over a dollar – thought it might be a good deal.
#133: Baijia Hot & Sour Flavor Instant Rice Noodle
Okay so last time I have something by this brand I really didn’t like it at all. But maybe this stuff will be better. Hear the decree of the Ramen Rater! I fear no noodle! I use full flavor sachet! I am invincible!
#122: Doll Instant Noodle Shrimp Wonton Flavour
Doll Brand eh? Hmm… Haven’t had any noodles by these guys in a long time. Shrimp sounds good this morning. Let’s give them a try. I like how it also let’s me know that they are yummy by exclaiming that they are yummy right on the front of the package – that’s useful consumer information right there!
#90: Long Kow Crystal Noodle Soup 6 Kinds of Mushrooms
Click image to enlarge. Slightly spicy. The mushrooms don’t actually have a lot of flavor. The mushrooms were a bit mushy. There’s some yellow stuff that I don’t know what it is… The little yellow bits taste like egg… The noodles are good but they’re hard to eat – they don’t want to stay on a fork and are slimy. I wouldn’t say this stuff is anything special. 2.3 out of 5 stars. Get it here.
#69: Baijia Instant Sweet Potato Noodle Spicy Fei-Chang Flavor
Since these noodles are Chinese, I thought I’d include our pugs in on cooking them. They were extremely helpful with the preparation.
#57: Doll Instant Fried Noodle w/Chili Sauce [Box]
Doll: Instant Fried Noodle w/Chili Sauce [Box]
Stars: ***
Notes: A nice sqare box of noodles – hot chili flavor was alright – not too hot though.
One thing I found very unique about this particular bowl was that it came with a a little packet of tea!
#56: Doll Instant Noodles with Sesame Oil and Soup Base
Doll: Instant Noodles with Sesame Oil and Soup Base
Stars: *
Notes: These were chicken flavor stiff noodles with
a bit of sesame oil. Nothing real special.
#55: Hua Feng Noodle Expert Favoury Pork Flavor
Hua Feng Noodle Expert: Favoury Pork Flavor
Stars: *
Notes: Aside from being ‘favoury,’ this wasn’t really all that good. More like ‘pork rancid favoury’ if you ask me.
#54: Hua Feng Noodle Expert Spicy Instant Noodles Spicy Seafood Flavor
Hua Feng Noodle Expert: Spicy Instant Noodles – Spicy Seafood Flavor
Stars: ***
Notes: This stuff’s actually quite different – it comes in a round cake of noodles, and fits quite snugly into the cooking pot. After cooking it, it really sucks up water and basically turned into a big bowl of seafood spaghetti! Wasn’t too shabby with some roman peasant bread left over from mother’s day.
