#3374: Maruchan Fire Bowl Ramen Spicy Beef Flavor – United States
Here’s another one the folks at Maruchan were kind enough to send over – thanks! This is a late comer to the ultra spicy category – at least it looks like that.

#3373: Hikari Miso Harusame Noodle Soup Tonkotsu Taste – Japan
I was perusing the aisle at 99 Ranch Market the other day and saw this hiding towards the bottom shelf. What the heck is this?

Continuing the reviews of this new range from Nissin USA, we have the Teriyaki Beef variety of the Stir Fry range. Sounds good to me; Nissin’s take on teriyaki beef has been enjoyable in the past.

#3370: Kang Shi Fu Artificial Dongpo’s Braised Pork Flavour – United States

#3369: Aji-No-Men Sabor Camaron – Peru
Time for another Peruvian variety today! This is shrimp flavor, and these are coming via a reader (thank you very much!). The company that produces these is Ajinomoto, the inventor of monosodium glutamate. Let’s give it a try!
#3368: Paldo Mr. Kimchi Kimchi Ramen – South Korea
I’ve had quite a few kimchi flavor ramen varieties over the years. Hell, I used to have a huge jar of kimchi in the fridge all the time when I first started doing reviews – I’d eat tons of it. It’s good stuff and lots of evidence supporting that it’s one of those ‘superfoods’ that promote health.

She’s got a good track record! Being a person with low vision and light sensitivity, I depend on her a lot when we go somewhere – she will ask me ‘have you seen/ tried this one?’ She doesn’t do it every place we go, but when she does, 99% of the time it’s something I’ve not seen or tried before – she’s got noodle ESP! Let’s check this one out!

The Ramen Rater Diet: Episode 2 – How I Lost 132 Pounds In 12 Months
Overview
On October 18th, 2018, my doctor told me I had high cholesterol and was worried about it. I’ve been battling (and losing in the wrong way) my weight for years – as long as I can remember really. It was kind of a battle of will really. I’d get started losing weight and then a holiday or some kind of thing would derail me and I’d fall off the wagon.

#3349: No Name Beef Flavour Oriental Noodles And Soup Mix – Canada
Hey look – another one found at the Real Canadian Superstore up in Richmond, BC! It’s been over a month since we visited our wonderful northern neighbors. I really like Canada. It’s like a totally different country! Hoping next time we go we leave early enough to go to some shopping then head over to Stanley park. That place is neat – a beautiful park in Vancouver. Anyways, yeah – I like Canada! Let’s give this beefy beff a try.
#3348: Rooster Hot & Spicy Flavour Noodle Soup – Canada
Well hello there. A Rooster pack from Canada. These are found at the Real Canadian Superstore – which is kind of like Canada’s answer to Walmart in an equally big box style. It’s a neat place – I generally get my peanut butter there as they have the 2kg jars of Kraft Crunchy and it’s so freaking cheap. Buying a couple of those defrays the cost of gas in savings compared to buying peanut butter here and it’s the best peanut butter I’ve had. Y3eah – I’m a connoisseur of peanut butter. Oatmeal too. I really freaking love peanut butter and oatmeal. Every morning. Every day.
#3347: Nona Lim Spicy Miso Ramen Bowl – United States
