Here’s some more kosher aisle ramen. This stuff was previously purchased but never reviewed. Why?
Category: * Stars 2.1 – 3.0
#514: Shirakiku Sanukiya Fresh Spicy Ramen Japanese Style Fresh Noodle
Haven’t had a fresh noodle bowl in a while. This one comes from Shirakiku and claims to be a hot one. It definitely looks nice on the packaging. I’m still under the weather so the spicy stuff helps with the sinuses!
#511: Menraku Japanese Ramen “Miso” Authentic Ramen Soup
I woke up with a sore throat, runny nose, sore joints and a bit of sneezing. I’m sick. This sucks. I thought maybe some miso would bring me back from the brink. I guess we’ll see how it goes…
#506: Nongshim Oolongmen Cup Noodle Soup With Artificial Beef Flavor
Today there was an open six pack of these so I decided even with a zillion ramens I’d get this one to try. Oolongmen!
#504: Knorr Pizza Instant Noodles
Yes, that’s right – it’s pizza flavored noodles. More interesting? They’re from Pakistan! So here’s yet another show of force in international fusion cuisine! Pizza is Italian, ramen noodles are a Japanese thing, and Pakistan is, well, another country! Well, let’s dig in!
#500: Mexi-Ramen Soupless Ramen Shallot Teriyaki Flavor
9/28/2024 – Update – Back on September 9th, 2011, I published this post – it was an early time in my reviewing – many things have changed since then; I used to use a phone to take pictures of products – I think it was a Blackberry Curve at the time. As I’m only a handful of reviews to #5000, it’s really weird to look at this compared to how I present reviews now. Anyways, there’s a video at the bottom I made at the time.
#496: Maruchan Yakisoba With Shrimp
Got this one at Walmart. Was pretty sure I hadn’t tried it and was right so here goes.
#493: Pulmuone Fresh Ramen (Spicy)
Something from a brand I’ve never seen before. This is a Korean fresh noodle and I’m hoping it’s good and spicy!
#492: Noah Foods Phoya Rice Noodsle Soup With Beef Flavor
Never seen this before – I also got a chicken variety as well I’ll review a bit down the road. I like the name – Phoya… Maybe there could be a froyo and pho place called PhoYo? Ya!
#487: Kailo Brand Big Bowl Noodle Instant Noodle Artificial Chicken Flavour
Here’s a new brand – Kailo! This is a big bowl of noodles too – and what an odd image on the front. But hey, how can chicken be fouled (it’s already been fowled HAHAHAHAHA – bad I know but I’m full of noodles now) it’s such a basic flavor. So here we go! UPDATE – This stuff is actually ABALONE CHICKEN – that explains a lot.
#486: Kamfen Japanese U-Don Noodles Lobster & Scallop Soup Flavor
So here’s the first Kamfen fresh udon I’ve tried. So something new for today!
#485: Ottogi Asian Style Instant Noodle Hot & Spicy Ramen Cup
Sounds like a pretty standard cup noodle. Thing is is that it’s Korean, so this kind of spicy is different than most spicy stuff.
#477: Mr. Udon Oriental Udon Noodle Malaysian Beef Flavor Artificially Flavored
One of four packs I got at a Big Lots store. Pretty cheap too.
Two packets – powdered seasoning and ‘dried flake’ – veggies.
#466: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Instant Rice Noodles Artificial Beef Flavor
Some beef tonight. This is beef noodle soup – pho bo. Artificial beef though… Shall we?
#465: Nissin Souper Meal Picante Shrimp Flavor Hot & Spicy
I thought I’d tried all of these but it appears I was wrong. So here’s yet another Souper Meal – Nissin’s answer to America’s need for another ‘Hungry Man’ style food product.
#463: Ottogi Ppushu Ppushu Barbecue Flavor Instant Snack
Here’s yet another variety of Ottogi’s Ppushu Ppushu super powered smash snack. This one’s barbecue flavor – wonder how this one will be…
#459: Gefen Oriental Style Ramen Noodles Imitation Chicken Flavor
So here’s one I got from Ramen Rater contributor Michael M. from Staten Island, NY. He said he found some of these down the aisle with kosher foods at his grocery store. Well, let’s give it a try!
#453: Nongshim Savory Bowl Noodle Chicken Flavored Noodle Soup
So I thought I’d tried every single variety of these but I found yet another in California! This is just chicken – not spicy chicken. So here we go with the noodling!
#446: Sau Tao Wonton Soup Flavored Hong Kong Style Instant Noodle King
Once again, here we go – back from vacation and back to instant noodle reviewing! First we have some Sau Tao brand Wonton flavored noodles. Always seems to be in a cup… They’re going to be extremely good I hope.
#445: iNoodle Taiwan Style Chow Mein
So anyone who’s seen the top ten list of my all time favorite noodles knows that Sapporo Ichiban’s Chow Mein is up there. I had a fresh noodle – Souper Brand – that was a chow mein variety and liked it very much. This is a Taiwanese version – curious what the difference will be.
#440: Maruchan Instant Lunch Hot & Spicy Beef Flavor Ramen Noodles With Vegetables
So here’s some Instant Lunch. Haven’t done one of these in a while and I’m sure that there’s a ton of them I need to do still. So hot & spicy beef – let’s give ‘er a try.
#439: Little Cook Tom Yum Seafood Premium Noodle
So the idea of a seafood noodle soup with fake seafood has been kind of daunting for the past couple months. However, today was the day. I must fear no ramen! So, here we have some seafood tom yum from Thailand.
#432: Ve Wong Instant Bean Thread Seafood Flavor (Bowl)
So here’s one of the noodles I reviewed during my interview with Rachel Belle at KIRO 97.3FM. I didn’t take a lot of pictures at all, but here’s a video of the making and eating of this one- it’s ghe larger of the two being tested.
#431: Unif Tung-I Chinese Onion Flavor Instant Rice Noodles
I’ve reviewed a ton of the Unif noodles, but it’s been quite a while. Here’s a Unif rice noodle – Chinese onion.
#426: Vifon Tứ Quý Mì Ga Ngu Vi Chicken Flavor Instant Noodle
So here’s another of the Vifon Tứ Quý packs I got on my birthday. Chicken eh? Sounds basic… Hmmm.
#421: Myojo Kakesoba-Desse Soy Sauce Flavor Japanese Style Soup Noodles
So here’s another of these nice Myojo varieties. A little more spendy at $2.49, but really some nice stuff.
#414: Doll Instant Noodle Artificial Beef Flavour
So I’ve been quite a fan of Doll’s varieties – they’ve always proven to be quite nice. So here’s their beef variety.
#408: Gomex 3 Mien Gomex 3 Miến Mì Tôm Chua Cay Hot Sour Shrimp Instant Noodles
So here’s the second of the Gomex noodles. I’ve never seen them other than the two I’ve rated – pretty interesting. They’re from Vietnam and sound interesting, so let’s give em’ a try…
#403: Maruchan Instant Lunch Lime Flavor With Shrimp Ramen Noodles With Vegetables
So this looks kind of interesting. Hmmm… I should make a list of the Maruchan Instant Lunches I’ve ingested and then I can go to the store and get all the ones I have not and then bam bam bam… Cheap noodle week!
#402: Sau Tao (Thick) Instant Noodle King Scallop Soup Flavor
I think this is the last of the Sau Tao’s I have for reviewing at this point. This one’s Scallop flavor with thick noodles. Again, these noodles aren’t fried. If you notice to the upper right of center, you are being informed that ‘Health is important.’ Looks like 4g fat and 7.5g fiber – not too bad actually.
#397: Quickchow Quickie Cup Mami La Paz Batchoy
Something new – a cup noodle from the Philippines!
Two packets – dry seasoning on the left and a seasoned oil on the right.
#395: Ottogi Jin Ramen (Mild) Asian Style Instant Noodle Cup
I thought this looked interesting. I don’t usually see any kind of ‘mild’ flavors coming out of Korea, but here you see one. Here we go!
#389: MAMA Vegetarian Tom Yum
So here’s one that came down from Canada but I wager it’s available at most good sized Asian groceries around here.
#388: Maruchan Instant Lunch Cheddar Cheese Flavor Ramen Noodles
So been really curious how this one’d pan out. I’ve tried mac and cheese-esque noodles before, but never in a cup…
#383: Lucky Me! Chicken Na Chicken Instant Noodles Artificial Chicken Flavor
Wow! I have a feeling this tastes somewhat like… chicken! Chicken na Chicken Chicken flavor! Here we go!
#382: Lucky Me! N-Rich Instant Noodles with Malanggay (Moringa Oleifera) Tinolang Manok Artificial Chicken Flavor with Ginger
So here’s one of the smaller packs of noodles. This one’s from the Philippines and containes something called Malanggay. Here’s what is said about it on Wikipedia:
#379: Nissin Chow Mein Thai Peanut Flavor Chow Mein Noodles
Haven’t reviewed one of these in a while. I did do the Alfredo recently but that’s a little further off track than this. Anyways, Thai Peanut Flavor…
#376: Sau Tao Lobster Soup Flavored Thick Instant Noodle King
So here’s another of these Sau Tao’s by Sun Shun Fuk (heh heh) and hopefully it’s some good stuff.
#373: Nissin Cup Noodles Chicken Vegetable Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So here’s one my lady Kit brought me back from California! Cup Noodles Chicken Vegetable time!
#366: Payless Pancit Shanghai Oriental Style
So here’s something new from Payless – Paincit Shanghai. I’ve had numerous Pancit Canton varieties in the past. Somebody once commented I should try the Shanghai and alluded to it being hot and spicy. We shall see!
