Okay so first off, here we go with the MAMA noodles. I really didn’t expect to like these but what can I say – not too bad. Mi Ga it says on the top left – Ga means chicken in Vietnamese – I know that much. Interesting as this is a Thai product.

So this was a neat little presentation. Came with its own bowl and lid – looks to be reusable as well.

So here we go with some Wai Wai. This stuff is made in Thailand and the noodles can be eaten straight out of the bag like a bag of chips. This was a much smaller package than usually seen here on ramenrater.com. In fact, the directions call for a mere 1 1/3 cups of water [320cc] instead of the usual 2 to 2 1/2 cups.

Little Cook: Pork & Mustard Stem Bowl Stars: 1/2
Notes: This stuff is bad – very bad. Boasting great flavor because of fresh meat and
 vegetables [retort pouch], the freshness wasn’t there. As with many bowl noodles,
 the ramen’s quality is overlooked and the retort pouch is added. The pok was
 spongy, like wet pork rinds and had a bitter, almost sour coffee taste.

MAMA: Oriental Style Instant (Chand Clear Soup) Stars: ***
Notes: This stuff ain’t too bad. Definitely rice noodles. The broth was extremely good – a little spicy, but clear as it purports. Tasted like a celery soup. Did just fine with it even
 though I have a severe unrelated gut-ache.

Namchow: Tom Yum Shrimp Bowl Stars: *** 1/2
Notes: Just polished it off a minute ago. Not extremely complicated but a very satisfying bowl.
 Upon opening the packaging, the consumer is greeted by two small but very clear pouches
 of which one contains a mix of chili oil/seasoning oil, and the other a base with
 dehydrated meat ad vegetables. After leaving it to steep with some boiling water, the
 end product is a bowl full of bright red broth and some really greasy noodles. Wasn’t a
 really hot bowl; on the contrary, it was very citrussy flavored. But very very greasy. I
 can’t begin to describe how greasy it is! A worthy bowl of noodles on it’s own.

Wai Wai: Tom Yum Shrimp Flavor
Stars: **
Notes: Some pretty damn hot noodles! On the back they have put this style’s motto: ‘Softer Noodles,
 Quicker To Be Served.’ It was true, these cooked up quickly, but they were insidiously hot, and
 this annoyed me. Also, not even a hint of shrimp flavor.
