So I did this review the morning that my daughter Miriam was born two years ago today. Happy Birthday, Miri! I thought I’d repost it with a little update.

#933: Paldo Kokomen Cup
Re-Review: Indomie Curly Noodle With Chicken & Chilli Paddi
This is one that ended up at second place on the Top Ten Spiciest Instant Noodles Of All Time – that means its really hot! There are these tiny little peppers (chilli paddi) that are real scorchers and they’re small enough that when you happen to find one, you get quite a jolt! I reviewed this a while back this year – #732 and during the Meet The Manufacturer: Indomie special. This is one of the packs sent directly from Indofood in Indonesia – I am told they will be sending some new samples very soon! Can’t wait to try them!
#907: Nongshim Neoguri Spicy Seafood Flavor Cup
Here’s something new – Neoguri Spicy in a cup! Kind of interesting; Neoguri usually has a wider Udon-like noodle and I don’t know that I’ve seen anything like that in a cup form before. Well, let’s have a look.
#854: Long Kow’s Crystal Noodle Soup Hot & Sour
Here’s an interesting one. This one’s got bean thread, something I am not usually thrilled with. Let’s see what happens.
#843: Nissin Top Ramen Short Cuts Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Hey look at this! Something new the folks at Nissin Foods USA sent. I’ve never seen anything like this is the instant noodle world before; it’s kind of like instant potatoes meets instant noodles. You scoop out as much or as little of the noodles as you want (which have the flavoring already infused into them), and then add the mentioned water amount, and there you go! Let’s have a look under the hood of this new product.
Re-Review: Meet The Manufacturer: Paldo Hwa Ramyun With Soy Peptide
Here’s Paldo’s standard hot & spicy variety. Today and tomorrow are supposed to be the hottest days of the year here in the northwest – temps are supposed to hit 94 degrees today and 96 tomorrow. Hot and spicy sounds just about right! What’s Hwa though? Couldn’t figure that one out but here’s what the health info on soy peptide is! Anyways – I’m hungry – time to noodle it up!
#823: Meet The Manufacturer: Paldo Kokomen Spicy Chicken Flavor
Finally after a long wait, Kkokkomyun has come to the United States as Kokomen! This is the instant that brought about the whole ‘white broth’ craze in Korea. Here’s an excerpt from my interview with Paldo:
#802: Sarimi Isi 2 Mi Goreng Rasa Ayam Kecap
#799: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Savory Chicken Flavor
Today Andy wanted to try something new. Knowing he’s a little timid of things that are too far off the map, I went with this. I’m pretty sure he’ll like it.
#785: Sarimi Isi 2 Rasa Soto
Here’s another one sent by my friend in Indonesia! Soto I’ve had before has had a very nice lime flavor to it I very much enjoyed. Curious if this one will be the same. Let’s see!
#783: Nissin Cup Noodles Salsa Picante Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
This one was taking a little punishment in the noodle hamper, so I decided it better see the light of day and become ingested.
#782: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Savory Shrimp Flavor
#776: Sarimi Isi 2 Rasa Kari Spesial
Here’s one of the new varieties sent by a friend in Jakarta, Indonesia – thank you! After trying so many Indonesian instant noodles, it looks like the flavors are almost backwards – Rasa means flavor, kari means curry and spesial means, well, special. Flavor curry special? Special curry flavor! It’s also a big pack and looks like it’s a soup. Well, let’s give it a try.
#761: Thai Kitchen Garlic & Vegetable Instant Rice Noodle Soup
#760: Nissin Big Cup Noodles Roast Chicken Flavor
Here’s a big cup from Nissin. Roast chicken sounds pretty good – especially to my son!
#757: Indomie Mi Instan Mi Goreng Vegan
Here’s another of the Indomie varieties sent by Indofood. Vegan huh? Okay I won’t add any meat!
#754: Nongshim Ansungtangmyun Spicy Miso Noodle Soup (USA version)
Okay so I thought this was interesting. Look at the noodle block in this one – very different isn’t it? Well, Let’s give this one a try – this one was made in the USA in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
#732: Meet The Manufacturer – Indomie Curly Noodle With Chicken & Chilli Paddi
Alrighty – I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m guessing this is going to be spicy stuff. Let’s find out! First off, what’s chilli paddi? Wikipedia says:
#730: Meet The Manufacturer: Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Soto Banjar Limau Kuit Khas Kalimantan Selatan
Okay so here’s another soup – Soto Banjar. First off, here’s what Wikipedia says about Soto:
#721: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Savory Soup Beef Flavor
The nice folks at Nongshim were kind enough to send some samples of this new beef variety recently. Haven’t tried any of them since they’ve gone with the new outer packaging! Let’s give it a try!
#616: Maggi Thrillin’ Curry 2 Minute Noodles
Here’s one that was at the bottom of the ramen hamper so needed immediate attention today. Curry is one of my favorite flavors! I hope this is good stuff!
Re-Review: Tat Hui Koka Mi Hai Tom 2 Prawn Flavour Oriental Style Instant Noodles
So I reviewed this one a really long time ago and thought it really needed to be brought out again. I don’t even remember what score I gave it, but it’s being prepared no doubt a little different this time and so we shall see how it fares. I remember liking it a great deal.
#225: Ottogi Snack Ramyon
Snack ramen eh? Well let’s see what this one is like. I think it’s ‘snack’ as it only takes the 2 minutes instead of three and has only one seasoning packet. Here we go.
