Hey – a box!
Ooh – Indomie!!!
A rad bowl! Indomie just had their 40th anniversary!
A Donation From Friendo
So I got this package and had no idea why – until I opened it!
A nice letter about who they are and what they do (click image to enlarge). Really interested in seeing what the ten varieties they picked were!
#1103: Myojo Ippei-chan Yomise No Yakisoba Teriyaki Mayo Flavor
So today’s noodles were sent to me by Ichiro Yamato, proprietor of Yakantei over in Japan! He specializes in interesting and hard to find instant noodles – thank you very much. Today is a special day around here for a couple of reasons.
#1102: Batchelors Super Noodles Mild Mexican Chilli Flavour
Here’s one my friend Martin in Devon, England sent me a little while back. Though it was a good day for something fusion – British and Mexican? Sure, why not.
#1101: Eat & Go Spicy Chicken Mi Instan Cup
Here’s another one a fan shipped me from Indonesia. Never tried this variety before – very few Indonesian cups that I’ve tried. Let’s check it out!
Meet The Manufacturer: #1100: Baltix Instant Noodles Witrh Chicken Flavour Broth
Here’s the other variety I received from Baltix – chicken! Sounds good to me!
The back of the package (click image to enlarge). Appears to be free of meat.
Meet The Manufacturer: #1099: Baltix Instant Noodles Witrh Beef Flavour Broth
Estonian noodles – until very recently, I didn’t know there were any instant noodles produced there. What I’m finding though is that it sure looks like almost every country has somebody making one or another variety! Let’s check these out.
Meet The Manufacturer: Baltix Product Samples
I was in the apartment office putting laundry money on the laundry card when they said there was a package arrived for me.
Meet The Manufacturer: Baltix Interview
#1098: Tropicana Slim Low Fat Noodles Hainan Chicken
Here’s another Indonesian variety from the big donation I was sent recently – thank you! Tropicana Slim – sounds like a character from an old mobster movie or something involving orange juice? I assure it’s neither – they’re low fat noodles from Indonesia! Let’s check these out!
Meet The Manufacturer: #1097: Amianda Noodle Homely Dried Noodles – Sesame Paste
Today, we have the last of the Amianda noodles. I’d like to thank Amianda for doing the interview and sending the great samples! Sesame paste – let’s get to it.
Meet The Manufacturer: #1096: Amianda Noodle Tachia Noodles – Hot & Spicy Sauce
As we wind down this spotlight on Amianda, we arrive at a hot and spicy variety of their Tachia noodles. Let’s have a look.
Meet The Manufacturer: #1095: Amianda Noodle Tachia Noodles – Fried Shallot
Today it’s fried shallot. Shallots are really quite enjoyable; like an onion and a garlic had a child – strong flavor! Let’s give this one a try!
Meet The Manufacturer: #1094: Amianda Noodle Thin Noodles – Sesame Oil
Thin noodles! Let’s have a look.
The back of the package (click image to enlarge).
Meet The Manufacturer: #1093: Amianda Noodle Hakka Flat Noodles – Satay Sauce
I don’t know what made me do it, but I felt a need to consult Wikipedia on satay and Taiwan. So I did and found this:
Meet The Manufacturer: #1092: Amianda Noodle Tachia Dried Noodles – Rou Zhao Meat Sauce
Today, we have the Tachia noodles again but with rouzao. What is rouzao? Wikipedia mentioned that it involves minced pork (Amianda mentioned this one includes it in the sauce) and minced pork rice is the common rouzao:
Meet The Manufacturer: #1091: Amianda Noodle Homely Dried Noodles – Original Flavor
Today I’ll be reviewing a thinner gauge noodle by Amianda. I thought it was funny that they were called ‘homely,’ as here in the US homely usually means ugly, but I think this time it’s meant to be more along the lines of homemade or home-style.
Meet The Manufacturer: #1090: Amianda Noodle Dried Noodles – Spicy Sauerkraut
Today it’s a spicy sauerkraut – kind of interesting to see sauerkraut as a popular addition in Taiwanese noodles, but this isn’t the first time I’ve seen it – I think it’s about the fourth. Anyways, let’s give it a look!
Meet The Manufacturer: #1089: Amianda Noodle Hakka Flat Noodles – Fried Bean Sauce
Today it’s hakka noodles, a variety I have only very recently found out about. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about the Hakka people in Taiwan:
Meet The Manufacturer: #1088: Amianda Noodle Tachia Dried Noodles – Peppery
To start things off, we have tachia noodles. It sounds like Tachung county is where a city called Tachia is, so I’m guessing this is a local version. Anyways, let’s check ’em out!
Meet The Manufacturer: Samples From Amianda Noodle
A great big box of noodles from Taiwan! Let’s open it!
I really like it when companies send printed instructions like this – makes it easier for me when there’s very little English on the packaging if any.

Today’s Father’s Day and my son Andy is over. Thought we’d have some noodles and this is the one he picked. He usually sticks to chicken flavored ones. Let’s check it out!

#1083: Nissin GooTa Demi Hamburg-Men
Well looky what we got here! This was one of the new varieties sent by Ichiro Yamoto of Yakantei! So if you’re wondering what this is, it’s a special cup of noodles that includes a dehydrated hamburger patty. No joke! Let’s have a look at this one!
#1082: Indomie Mi Instan Mi Goreng Rasa Cabe Ijo
Well folks, this has been a long time coming. Indofood tried sending some, but it got snagged in customs around Christmas 2012, and then a reader from Indonesia sent a big pack of varieties and this was in the package – which we both thought wouldn’t make it, but it arrived via seamail after a sixty-six day journey. This is going to be a neat review – it’s supposed to be ultra hot and spicy! Not only that, it’s supposed to be green! Their press release says it “draws inspirations from the traditional food of Padang that has been a popular delicacy among Indonesians.” Let’s check it out!

Donation From Japan
So Monday I received a package from Mr. Ichiro Yamoto. He was also on God Of Patena, the show I was on too! He sells unique instant noodles in Japan and was kind enough to send me some really great varieties! Thank you!
Another Amazing Donation From Indonesia
I got an email in April saying a package was on its way from a fan of The Ramen Rater in Indonesia – in late March! Today when I checked the mail, there was a note saying a package was in the office. So my son and I walked up to the office and here’s the package! After sixty-six days of travel via Seamail, it is here!The sender wishes to remain unnamed, so I will just say thank you very much! So the outside of the box was covered in a woven plastic covering.
Meet The Manufacturer: #1081: Deshome Aloe Noodle Sesame Sauce
So we are at the end of the Deshome Meet The Manufacturer. Let’s have a look at their aloe noodles with sesame sauce.

The noodle blocks. Purplish is made with purple sweet potato and the other is just aloe.
The sesame sauce packet.
Again, a earthy color and nice aroma.
The red onion packet.
Red onion in an oil base.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added a fried egg and some Vidalia onion and ham sauteed in a little soy sauce. The noodles are again really good – nice and wide and perfect texture as well as chew. The flavoring was nice and hearty with a strong sesame and nice red onion notes. This was great – 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.UPC bar code 4716873921224.
