My lovely lady Kit over at www.supertastysnacks.com reviewed this one last night and I thought I should review it too as all it is really is a snack but it is uncooked ramen. So let’s give it a try!
Category: * Stars 1.1 – 2.0
#228: Vifon Pho Ga Vietnamese Style Instant Rice Noodle Artificial Chicken Flavor
So Kit picked this and the last one – here we go!
Hey cool – quite a few packets in here – powdered base, oil, chili sauce, veggies…
#227: Quickchow Bihon Guisado Instant Rice Noodles Saute
So I had the Pancit Canton the other day. Let’s see if these do a bit better…
Powder, seasoned oil, soy sauce and veggies.
#215: Maruchan Yakisoba Chicken Flavor Home-Style Japanese Noodles
So chicken flavor this time. Thought maybe I’d spruce it up with some leftover turkey!
#214: Maruchan Yakisoba Teriyaki Beef Flavor Home-Style Japanese Noodles
#203: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Hot & Spicy Flavor
So going to have another one of these today. This looks like the most basic one.
Again, only one packet.
#199: Samyang Chinese Soybean Paste Ramen Stir Noodle Noodle Soup Olive Oil Add
Wow – you know, sometimes it just so happens a package of ramen just has to many words on it. This is one of those occasions. I mean, look at that title up there. I like how you drain the liquid, but it says noodle soup – and you don’t add olive oil, it’s already in the liquid packet…
#196: Nissin Cup Noodles Pani Puri
So something from India eh? The last Cup Noodles from India was a little funky I thought – let’s see how this one tastes…
#183: Nissin Bowl Noodles Hot & Spicy Chicken Flavor
Some very domesticated Nissin Hot & Spicy! Haven’t tried this kind before – hoping it’s good!
#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.
#178: MAMA Clear Soup Oriental Style Instant Noodle
So some more of MAMA’s stuff. Very thin noodles – VERY thin!
Chili powder, powder and seasoned oil.
#173: Unif Tung-I Instant Bean Vermicelli Shrimp Flavor (Bean Thread)
Bean thread huh? Hmm – not always my favorite. It tends to be gloppy, mucky stuff that kind of congeals together.
#160: Myojo Soy Sauce Flavor Ramen-Desse Japanese Style Soup Noodles
This was a really cheap bowl noodle from H-Mart. Let’s see how it is…
So the veggies and powder soup base was in the big silver packet. The little packet had sesame oil.
#157: Nissin Cup Noodles Sotanghon Chicken Flavored Instant Noodles
So here’s some unique noodles in a cup from the Philippines! Sotanghon chicken – what’s sotanghon? According to Wikipedia…
#154: Nissin Cup Noodles Creamy Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So second in our series of cup noodles is the old standard. As it says on the packaging, they’ve been making Cup Noodles since 1971 and Nissin was the first to make cup noodles. Creamy chicken is a newer flavor – I’m sure plain chicken was the original.
#153: Sapporo Ichiban Shrimp Flavor Oriental Noodle Soup
So we begin a short look at noodle cups. I don’t think I’ve actually had a cup in a long time so this will be some fun stuff. We start with some Sapporo Ichiban shrimp flavor.
#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.
#137: Nissin Bowl Noodles Rich & Savory Chicken Flavor with Premium Straight Cut Noodles
Why not right? Some of the stuff that most folks are more used to – big bowls of noodles with easy to understand flavors like chicken and not some kind of melange of paste and rice noodles. Yeah why not.
#136: MAMA Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavour Oriental Style Instant Noodles
Some noodles from Thailand today. I’ve reviewed some noodles that are by MAMA and Tom Yum but not the creamy.
#126: MAMA Instant Rice Vermicelli Tom Yam Koong Flavour
So this is an interesting one. The package weighs practically nothing and the noodle blocks is extremely thin. Weirdness….
#120: Samyang Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Beef. Not usually really an ‘out there’ or ‘exotic’ flavor. Seems like most Korean noodles are more along the lines of spicy or seafood. So I guess we’ll see how this one stacks up.
#537: MAMA Instant Noodle Pad Kee Mao Flavour (Drunken Noodles)
MAMA Pad Kee Mao… The pack is shiny and shows a seriously elaborate dish… Not really much of anything in English on this one.
#110: Lucky Me! Artificial Chicken Flavor
So here’s a little pack of noodles I picked up at H Mart by Lucky Me! brand. Good ole chicken flavor.
#108: Teriyaki Time Ramen
So for my #100 review, I thought since being jabbed at recently about not having ramen from a restaurant, I’d better try it out. Long story short, I found this bowl rather lackluster. Not very spicy. The noodles were very nice, but the egg wasn’t much. I was left wanting… Something more… I had to give it 2.0 of 5.0 stars
#107: Ottogi Pow Crunch Teriyaki Flavor Original Noodle Snack
So we went to a new place today called H Mart – more on that later! So this is something weird from Korea I just has to try – however, it wasn’t really weird at all!
#104: Maruchan Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So yeah – really. I haven’t reviewed the standard chicken flavor Maruchan seen on every store shelf from here to hell and back. So it’s time. Chicken time!
#102: Indomie Soto Mie Flavour Instant Noodles
I thought I’d already reviewed this stuff but apparently not, so here we go with Soto Mie flavor. This is one of the few varieties of Indomie instant noodles that you don’t drain the noodles with.
#92: Fashion Food Tom Yum Seafood Creamy Flavour Instant Noodles
So this was a neat little presentation. Came with its own bowl and lid – looks to be reusable as well.
#85: Nissin Demae Ramen Noodle With Sesame Oil
I last tried this variety when I was about 15 years old I think and I absolutely hated it. I have been avoiding it like the plague ever since. I suppose 20 years later, its time for another go.
#84: Samyang Kal Gug Su Assorted Clam Flavor Korean Style Non-Frying Noodles
So here’s something I’ve had in the cupboard for a while and been kind of waiting for just the right time to try. Assorted clams – hmm. An assortment of clams. It just sounds really strange. I guess we’ll see what we got here.
#83: Nissin Demae Ramen Spicy Flavor Instant Noodles
I think after this, sesame flavor and spicy seafood flavors are left! So let’s get it on with the spicy flavor! Woo haw!
#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.
#67: Maruchan: Ramen Noodle Soup Lime Chili Shrimp Flavor
So this looks to be one of the more exotic flavors out there as far as the more ‘domesticated’ ramens go. What I find curious is whether this is marketed towards the Hispanic or the Filipino populations. The combination of chili and lime are popular in both cultures and products marketed with a pepper and a green lime are very common.
#62: Maggi Rice Noodle Mania – Lemon Masala
Maggi: Rice Noodle Mania – Lemon Masala
Stars: * 1 / 2
Noodles: Rice Flour
Packets: 1 “Tastemaker”
Country of Origin: India
#61: Maggi 2 Minute Noodles – Curry
Maggi: 2 Minute Noodles – Curry Flavor
Stars: * * 1 / 2
Noodles: Wheat flour
Seasoning Packets: 1 ‘Tastemaker’ Packet, medium sized
Country of Origin: India
#60: Maggi Vegetable Atta Noodles Masala
Maggi: Vegetable Atta Noodles Masala
Stars: **
Country of origin: India
Seasoning:1 Packets, 1 dry
Noodles: Atta
#53: Indomie Chicken Flavour Cup Noodles
Indomie: Chicken Cup
Stars: **
Notes: A little too salty for my taste; was missing some important things like really tasty flavor and seasoning oil. I suppose that’s the trade-off when having a small cup-o-noodles style cup. However, one of the coolest things in the ramen industry is the Indomie Folding Fork, which is included. It just folds and snaps into place! Sturdy too. So yes, it’s worth it for the fork.
#34: Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup Shrimp Flavor
Maruchan: Noodle Soup – Shrimp Flavor
Stars: **
Notes: I don’t know why, but the ramen companies that cater to the U.S. customer really dropped the ball here – there’s only one packet and the noodles are of very poor quality. However, this type of ramen’s saving grace is it’s ability to be used to make a bastardized version of ‘Spaetzel,” a Scandinavian dish. Get it here.
#24: Nissin Demae Ramen Spicy Seafood Flavor
Nissin: Spicy Seafood Flavor w/Chili Pepper
Stars: **
This wasn’t too bad at all, just not much really
special about it. As far as spiciness, nothing to sweat.
#21: Nongshim Champong Oriental Style Noodle
Nong Shim: Champong Oriental Noodles
Stars: **
Notes: First off, this was a pretty big package; more like very big. There was
a pack of dehydrated fish as well – octopus, cuttlefish, seaweed etc.
Also, the noodles were Udon style [extra thick]. After I made it, I
realized that the broth was quite dark and deep red. The octopus was
black too – and after the noodles, drinking the last bit of broth was
what I imagine a ton of fish blood and salt would be like.
