#5142: Nissin 'This Is A Good One' Premium Onion Oil Shio Ramen - Japan

Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “This ramen treat is a true safe haven from all the things that go bump in the night! This ramen features a tasty salt base with hints of pork for umami. The real star, however, is the onion oil and pepper oil with hints of garlic, chili and black pepper for tons of flavor!”” ...see full post

#5141: Baixiang Instant Noodles Coriander Noodle – China

#5141: Baixiang Instant Noodles Coriander Noodle - China

Hey big thanks to Daniel over at Exotic Noods for sending this over! I am a big fan of coriander (cilantro) and this one seems to have a lot of it. It’s funny; the coriander we get here in the stores is so dark and I try to find it a lighter shade but it’s never very healthy stuff. I don’t know why. Anyways, Let’s give this a try. ...see full post

#5006: Nan Shan Po Shaxian Noodles With Chili Crisp - China

Well, I think it’s time for a break. I’ve done quite a few reviews this week and I’m so far ahead. As I write this it’s May 2nd, 2024. Weather’s getting nicer.

#5139: Ajumma Republic XL Ramen Hot & Spicy Only For Mukbang Challengers - South Korea

A big thank you to James from Lakeside, California for surprising me a while back with this extra huge instant noodle tray. It’s like four full sized packs of noodles. Will I eat the whole thing? Yeah, I don’t think so. Anything that requires almost a liter and half or water to steep it is going to be pretty crazy. This one was going to me a contender for review #5000. Let’s gie it a try! ...see full post

#5137: A-Sha Hot Ones Sweet Chili Ramen Noodle Soup - United States

Well this is a little different – but cool. Hot Ones is a YouTube show where celebrities go on and do an interview while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings. Gorden Ramsay practically cried and had a tantrum. Anyways, these are in a series – there’s three cups and three bowls. I’ve got the cups, so I’ll be trying them (yes, mukbang) in short order and seeing how they go. These are made in Vietnam for the US market. Let do this. ...see full post

By the time you see this, hopefully that’ll have occurred. But I just wanna do a regular old review – nothing crazy or huge, nothing monumental – just a review. Seems like I haven’t done one in a month so that’s it I’m doing one.  Found this at S*Mart – yep – shop smart shop S*Mart. Let us begin… ...see full post

#5097: Sichuan Baijia Ancient Jinli Street Chengdu Style Hot & Sour – China

#5097: Sichuan Baijia Ancient Jinli Street Chengdu Style Hot & Sour - China

Found this one at 99 Ranch Market recently. Man, I just have to say what a week. Got COVID (granted this is August so hopefully I don’t have COVID when I’m posting this) and it’s just been hell. Lots of headache, dizziness. When I got COVID in January of 2021, I ended up with a blood clot in my lung. The second time (first was after going to Taiwan). So my doc put me on a blood thinner , effectively for the rest of my life. Well, headache and dizziness can be indicative of a blood clot. Well, not this time – usually that has to do with the fact that you’re not getting enough oxygen. Usually your heart rate will go up as well. So, it’s just the sick beating the heck out of me. It got bad enough to go to urgent care yesterday and they were like yeah you have COVID – no reason to think it’s a blood clot in your lungs or anything. So that’s good, however I still feel like crap. It’s Tuesday. I took picture of this and the last two varieties on Tuesday – of last week. It’s literally taken me that much time to get these post frameworks done before I’m even close to cooking. I might cook tomorrow, I dunno. But I think I’m coming out of the funk. I sure hope so… Anyways, let’s see about this one. ...see full post
