The Definitive Source For Instant Noodle Reviews Since 2002
I’ve been working hard on weight-loss and exercise for the last 6 months. Part of that is making sure I’m getting all the right nutrients and vitamins. Well, Tim and Tom Zheng over at Vite Ramen have something really cool – a pack of instant noodles that are very different from what you’re probably used to seeing. These have vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber – even low sodium! Let’s take a look!
So you might be wondering ‘hey – where’s the interview?’ Well, you can totally blame that on me as I got the samples, did the reviews and forgot to send the questions. Ugh. I’m working on getting this added soon so keep your eye out! In the meantime, enjoy the review series and watch me unbox what you’ll be seeing!
I’ve been a fan of Red Chef’s stuff for quite a while now – their regular Spicy Sakura Prawn Soup Noodle hit the Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2018 Edition at #2 and that’s pretty amazing.
