Beef? Na – beef! I remember a while back I had Chicken na Chicken too – startlingly, it was chicken flavored. Beef sounds nice. Let’s give ‘er a shot…

#658: Paldo Hwa King Cup Noodle Soup
Hey look! Mega-enormous Korean noodle bowl! Found this one at H Mart in Lynnwood, WA. Had the pack and the cup – now we’ll find out Hwa-ssup with this enormous King Cup! Yes we will. Yes.
#657: Dragonfly Instant Noodles Onion Flavor
Another pack of Dragonfly brand noodles from China… Onion was great in a big bowl version – how will it be in a pack? Let’s see…
#656: Nissin Ramen Bowl Hot & Spicy Flavor
It’s really funny; someone just emailed me asking if I had noticed that Nong Shim’s Bowl Noodle had changed since they repackaged – I haven’t tried it yet. One thing they also said was they couldn’t find the Hot & Spicy variety anywhere anymore. I picked up a few of these Nissin Ramen Bowls at H Mart the other day. 99 cents apiece and they’re very much like the size of the Nong Shim – and lo and behold, Hot & Spicy! Let’s see if it’s a good one.
#654: Namchow Mee Jang Noodle Soup Sour Spicy Chicken (Tom Yum)
This is a pretty generic looking bowl of instant noodles. However, they’re from Thailand and boast a hot and spicy Tom Yum flavor – Hopefully they’re really good!
#653: Dragonfly Instant Noodles Artificial Pork Ribs Flavor
I thought today would be a nice day to have some pork ribs in noodle form! I wonder how it’ll be? I think it’ll pass the test as it’s yet another Dragonfly product. I know it’s wintertime and all but I think that Punksatawnee Phil’s Groundhog Day prediction was incorrect. He saw his shadow, predicting six more weeks of winter. On the bright side, statistics show he’s been correct – 39% of the time.
#651: Wingsfood Mi Sedaap Mi Segera Mi Sup Perisa Kari Ayam
Yesterday I went to HT Oaktree Market on 100th & Aurora in North Seattle. I went to get some things to make a batch of my curry soup and of course hit up the noodle aisle. Was thinking of re-reviewing the Mi Sedaap curry I’d had before as well, but as it turns out, I snagged a new one I hadn’t reviewed yet. Then this morning, I noticed a lot of people coming to The Ramen Rater from a forum on a Singapore website – they were all coming because of a link to Mi Sedaap Perisa Asli, something I’d reviewed a while back. I thought I should review a new Mi Sedaap today, so here we go.
#650: Dragonfly Instant Noodles Artificial Chicken Flavor
The last time I had Dragonfly brand noodles they were in a bowl and cooked by steeping. This time around it’s boiling in a pot. I remember how much I really enjoyed these Chinese noodles! Let’s see how they are in a pack.
#649: Pot Noodle Chicken & Mushroom Flavour
Well, this is the end of the line. A few months ago, Cindy C. from England sent a nice big box of instant noodles containing many kinds of Super Noodles and Pot Noodle and this is the last of the Pot Noodle! After this, there are two pouches I’ll review called ‘Mug Shots.’ Thanks again Cindy! This has been a lot of fun!
#648: Nongshim Noodle Soup Seafood Ramyun
This was sent to me by Greg B. of Marathon, Florida! I was a little surprised that I haven’t reviewed this one before, but sure enough, I haven’t! Let’s rip open some Korean ramyun!
#647: Sunlee Instant Noodle Tom Yum Shrimp Flavour
Cool – a Sunlee bowl. I’ve had a couple of these before – they were crab flavored and really quire good. Tom Yum soup is one of my favorites and hopefully since this is from Thailand, it should be pretty good.
#645: Nongshim Oolongmen Cup Noodle Soup With Artificial Chicken Flavor
#644: Sura Knife-Cut Rice Noodle
#643: Wei Chuan Instant Noodle Soup Miso Vegetables Flavor
Here’s another pack from Michelle L. of New York – thanks! The last Wei Chuan I tried was tomato flavor and quite good – let’s see how this one is.
#641: Vina Acecook Hao Hao Fried Noodles Shrimp & Onion Flavour
Been waiting for a good day to review these – they sound really good! I thought I’d try them today to celebrate the CNN article coming out!
#640: Master Kong Artificial Spicy Beef Flavor Instant Noodle
Sadly, this is last of the Master Kong varieties sent to me by Chad B. of Highland, Illinois – thanks again Chad – your stickers went out in the mail yesterday!
#633: Mr. Udon Oriental Udon Noodle Seafood Selection
Assorted seasfood eh? Trout and octopus? Sardine and shrimp? Crab and sea cucumber? Not sure but Let’s find out.
#628: Lucky Me! Supreme La Paz Batchoy Artificial Beef Garlic Flavor Instant Noodles
Haven’t had any Lucky Me! in quite some time. This is a smaller version of the Lucky Me! La Paz Batchoy I’ve had before. Let give this one a renewed and smaller look!
#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.
#626: Ottogi Asian Style Instant Noodle Hot Taste Yelul Noodle Bowl
Re-Review: Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup Oriental Flavor
Such a classic – almost as American as it is Japanese! Actually, this packet was made in California. Just like rival Nissin, Maruchan has a huge southern California factory. Here’s a re-review of this standard that probably everyone has had once in their lifetime.
#625: Pot Noodle Bombay Bad Boy Flavour
Ahh – this is the next to last of the Pot Noodle cups that were sent to me by Cindy C. of England – thanks again! It has most certainly been quite a culinary journey! Bombay Bad Boy eh? Let’s check this oddly named cup of noodles out!
#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:
#621: Ottogi Jin Ramen (Hot) Asian Style Instant Noodle Big Bowl
You like it hot? This stuff is good and it delivers some decent heat too. I’ve had the cup, the pack and now, the big bowl. Wonder if there’s a regular sized bowl? Hmm…
#617: Nissin Demae Iccho Sesame Oil Chicken Flavour Instant Macaroni In Soup
Here’s another from the bottom of the hamper! My sister Sue got this one for me on a trip to Canada earlier this year. Looks like this’ll be the last noodle to be reviewed in 2011! But these aren’t your ordinary looking noodles, are they? Instant macaroni! Let’s try it!
Re-Review: Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup Pork Flavor
I remember reviewing this one a while back up in Anacortes – got it and was really stoked as I’d never seen it before!
#610: Wei-Wei “A” Series Instant Noodles Artificial Chicken Flavor
Here’s yet another from Michelle L. of New York. I am really digging the “A” series so far!
#609: Wei-Wei “A” Series Instant Noodles Artificial Hot Beef Flavor
Here’s another that was sent to me by Michelle L. of New York. This is something I’ve never had before – Wei-Wei brand. Wai Wai yes, Wei-Wei, no. The packaging is interesting – note the guy with the suave hat in the upper right. He’s there; on the scene – purchasing noodles . Let’s see if these noodles rock. Note the economical 49 cent price tag!
#606: Six Fortune Instant U-Dong Noodles
Here’s another from Michelle L. of New York. I have liked pretty much everything I’ve had that Six Fortune makes – hopefully this is no exception. U-Dong is a thicker noodle and it mentions it’s got “udon flavour,” which I would imagine will be seafood.
#605: Little Cook Instant Noodles Artificial Flavored Onion Flavor Cup
Here’s another sent by Michelle L. of New York – thanks again! Send pics of where you put the stickers! This one looks interesting; on top as an afterthought is printed ‘ARTIFICIAL FLAVORED,’ although I do see dried onion in the ingredients. Weird. That said, here’s the noods.
#603: Wei Lih Good Good Eat Super Ramen Hot Chili Flavor
Here’s another from Michelle L. of New York. I have a feeling it’s going to be good as well as spicy!
#602: Nongshim Oolongmen Cup Noodle Soup With Artificial Seafood Flavor
We went and got makings for Korean BBQ at the store yesterday and I found this unreviewed cup so I figured let’s do two cups today. Here we go!
#598: Little Cook Instant Noodles Vegetarian Flavour Cup
#601aq? What’s with the ‘a’ crap? Well, I was looking over the last few reviews. As it turns out, I reviewed the Nong Shim Ansungtangmyun eons ago… Instead of reshuffling everything, I decided to just have a do-over. So here’s review #601a. This is another from Michelle L. of New York – thanks!
#601: Wei Chuan Instant Noodle Soup Tomato & Vegetables Flavor
Onward to #700! This is one of many sent to me by Michelle L. of New York! Thank you! Never seen this brand before – let’s give it a try!
#600: Maruchan Ramen Noodle Soup Beef Flavor
Here we go with review 600! Yep – this is why there were all the re-reviews last week! Thanks go to Mike M. of Staten Island, NY for pointing out that I’d reviewed the Roast Beef but not the regular beef flavor!
Re-Review: Ottogi Bekse Curry Myon
Here’s another one that Nick from OrderRamen.com sent along. Curry’s very high on my favorite spices list – let’s see how this one does today. I decided I wanted it to be a little stronger than normal, so I omitted 1/4 cup of water.
#599: Lucky Me! Pancit Canton (Chow Mein) Extra Hot Chili Flavor
Pancit Canton! Ahhh this stuff is so good! It’s a lot like Mi Goreng but a little sweeter. Anyways, Let’s give their extra hot chili flavor a try!
Re-Review: Nongshim Ansungtangmyun Hot & Spicy Noodle Soup
Say that three times fast, why don’t you?! This is one sent to me by Nick at OrderRamen.com. Looks like some spicy good noodles!
#597: Batchelors Super Noodles Sweet & Sour Flavour
Thought I’d do some more of this stuff today. I was expecting a package but there was a FedEx delivery exception and so I’ll have to wait til Monday most likely. So, here’s something weird – sweet and sour noodles? Yep. Let’s do this.
#595: Thai Kitchen Spring Onion Instant Rice Noodle Soup
I’ve had the bowl version of this before, so I’m curious as to whether or not this is any different. We shall see!
