Here’s another one from Sakurai Foods, this time a bowl of miso ramen! I read that the bowl is made of recycle sugar cane stalk – pretty cool!

#950: Ottogi Kiss Myon Asian Style Instant Noodle Bowl (Cup)
Here’s the first new Ottogi variety I’ve reviewed in a long time! It’s an interesting one, too. This is most definitely a cup, however it says it is a noodle bowl on the packaging – weird! Hoping in 2013 to be able to get with Ottogi and do a Meet The Manufacturer – they’ve got some interesting twists on Korean instant noodles that are really good! Well, let’s give this one a try!
#921: Ottogi Jjajang Bokki
Currently, I have only four new varieties in my noodle hamper and this in one of them. The ‘jjajang’ is a black bean and noodle dish which is brothless. Every Korean brand seems to have their own variation – here’s Ottogi’s bowl version.
#916: Goku-Uma Seafood Flavor Japanese Style Instant Noodles
Here’s one my sister brought me back from Hawaii! Thanks! I used to see plenty of these around but never went and got any. Now, I can’t find them around here.
The International Lunch
Here’s what I had for lunch today (click to enlarge) – not a new review or anything, but thought it was interesting how many international flavors came together on this one. First, FMF Chow Noodles Masala Flavor from Fiji. Added kimchi, a Korean dish, some Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake from Japan, Dua Belibis chili sauce from Indonesia, some ham, stirfry veggies and sweet onion, and a 2 egg omelet with 2 slices of processed cheese and some Tabasco Jalapeno hot sauce – which I presume is all from the United States but might not be. Was pretty good – quite an interesting combo!
New TV Spot For Nongshim’s Shin Ramyun Black Cup With PSY
Unless you’ve been hiding under a proverbial rock for the last couple of months, you have heard the song ‘Gangnam Style‘ by South Korean pop star PSY at one time or another, seen the horse dance, etc. Well, After he sent Nongshim a video asking if he could do a commercial for them, they said yes.
#902: Sunlee Pho Bo Instant Rice Stick Beef Flavour
I reviewed another version of this in #502. It looks like this one is somewhat different; different color packet and a different sized rice noodle chunk. Let’s try it!
#868: CJ (CheilJedang) Katsuobushi Udon
This one was donated by Ramen Place – thanks again! I haven’t a clue of how this one will be. Looks like its celebrating the 10th anniversary of CheilJedang or this product. Well, let’s give it a try!
#822: Meet The Manufacturer: Paldo Speed King Bowl (Prototype)
Wow check this out! Paldo sent me this prototype of a new product – a bowl of instant noodles that only takes a minute and thirty seconds to cook. Pretty amazing – but how does it taste?
#806: Ohsung Hot & Spicy Bowl Noodle Soup With Soy Peptide
Here’s one the folks at Ramen Place sent a while back. Sounded good today to have somethin’ spicy! Soy peptide eh? Here’s some info. Let’s see how it goes.
#803: Master Kong (康师傅) Premium Taste Roasted Beef Noodle
Here’s another one of the Master Kong variants sent to me by Bo H.! Thanks again! This one is the the first Master Kong large noodle bowl I’ve tried.
#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.
#792: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Chicken Flavor (New Version)
The 200th review I did was the old version of this stuff! Over 500 reviews later, we come to the new version. So far, these new ones have been quite good.
#775: JML Instant Noodle Seafood Flavour
Hey look – another big JM cup! This one’s from Michelle L. of Mew York, NY. Thanks again! Seafood, huh? Sounds good.
#773: Little Cook Instant Noodle TVP Stewed Pork Flavor
Here’s another one that was sent in by Michelle L. of New York, New York – thanks again! TVP? What’s TVP? Well, I’ve had it quite a few times before. TVP stands for ‘textured vegetable protein’ and is basically fake meat. Usually you couldn’t get pork in a packet coming from Thailand into the states – fake pork on the other hand is doable.
#772: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Hot & Spicy Beef Flavor (New Version)
I’m pretty jazzed – got a couple things this last trip to the Asian grocery and going to try one of them today. Here’s another one of the new version Nongshim Bowl Noodle varieties.
#752: Meet The Manufacturer: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Savory Soup Tempura Udon Flavor
#736: Maruchan Yakisoba Spicy Vegetable Flavor Homestyle Japanese Noodles
Haven’t done one of these in a while! This is another one donated by Ramen Place. Spicy vegetable huh? That’s a kind of weird flavor. I have seen vegetable / vegetarian flavor and then spicy varieties, but not usually spicy vegetable. Well, let’s try it out!
#710: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Instant Noodles Mixed Foods Flavor
Been saving this one for just the right day – and here it is! Mixed foods flavor?! Wow this is a fascinating one – never have I found an instant noodle with such a non-descript totle! Surf and turf? Not sure what’s going on here but we’ll give ‘er a try!
#667: Nissin Ramen Bowl Kimchi Flavor
Today seemed like a good day to have some Kimchi noodle bowl action. Here we are and here we go!
#656: Nissin Ramen Bowl Hot & Spicy Flavor
It’s really funny; someone just emailed me asking if I had noticed that Nong Shim’s Bowl Noodle had changed since they repackaged – I haven’t tried it yet. One thing they also said was they couldn’t find the Hot & Spicy variety anywhere anymore. I picked up a few of these Nissin Ramen Bowls at H Mart the other day. 99 cents apiece and they’re very much like the size of the Nong Shim – and lo and behold, Hot & Spicy! Let’s see if it’s a good one.
#647: Sunlee Instant Noodle Tom Yum Shrimp Flavour
Cool – a Sunlee bowl. I’ve had a couple of these before – they were crab flavored and really quire good. Tom Yum soup is one of my favorites and hopefully since this is from Thailand, it should be pretty good.
#628: Lucky Me! Supreme La Paz Batchoy Artificial Beef Garlic Flavor Instant Noodles
Haven’t had any Lucky Me! in quite some time. This is a smaller version of the Lucky Me! La Paz Batchoy I’ve had before. Let give this one a renewed and smaller look!
#626: Ottogi Asian Style Instant Noodle Hot Taste Yelul Noodle Bowl
#619: Yamamoto Ponpoko Tempura Udon Fried Noodles Bowl
What an awesome bowl of noodles. First, it’s a new brand to me – Yamamoto. Second, it’s got tempura in there as well as udon. Third, there’s a couple tanuki on the label.
#594: Haioreum Asian Style Noodles Seafood Flavored In Bowl
Thought I’d go with something different tonight – and this definitely qualifies as that I think. Let’s rip the lid off this big fresh udon noodle bowl!
#585: Ve Wong Artificial Onion Flavor Instant Bean Thread Bowl
And on we go with the onslaught of instant noodles that I’ve not gotten to as they don’t look all that tasty. Today we start with some onion flavored bean thread.
#482: Menraku Japanese Ramen “Shio” Authentic Ramen Soup
Got this one at the new Bellevue Uwajimaya. Shio means salt, so I suppose this is salt ramen. Let’s give it a try!
#453: Nongshim Savory Bowl Noodle Chicken Flavored Noodle Soup
So I thought I’d tried every single variety of these but I found yet another in California! This is just chicken – not spicy chicken. So here we go with the noodling!
#437: Nongshim Big Bowl Spicy Noodle Soup With Kimchi Flavor
Honestly instead of Big Bowl I think these should be marketed as Huge Bowl, but honestly this is about what you would get if you bought a pack of Nongshim Kimchi noodles in a pack, except you would get better quality noodles there. These noodles are built for fast inflating and absorbency.
#390: Menraku Japanese Curry “Soba” Bowl
So we went to the brand new Bellevue Washington Uwajimaya a couple days ago and wow – pretty awesome! Got some nice bowl noodles to try – here’s one!
#378: Ve Wong Hot Of Hots Artificial Satay Beef Flavor Instant Oriental Noodle Soup (Bowl)
The ‘Hot Of Hots’ eh? Sounds interesting! I hope its good as I really like satay…
#372: Noodle Time Spicy Thai Instant Ramen Noodles With Real Vegetables
So let’s start with the name – Noodle Time. Apparently, this is a Canadian brand. They started in 2001 in Edmondton, Alberta and they make this stuff in a few flavors. They pride themselves on No MSG, althought the bowl if consumed entirely contains about 1,500mg of sodium.
#359: Nissin Bowl Noodles Hot & Spicy Beef Flavor
So here’s one we got a Megalomanianmart the other day. Was nice to see there was another flavor out there; I think this stuff’s pretty okay. One thing I noticed – the other two I’ve reviewed say ‘with chicken’ or ‘with shrimp,’ and this one just says ‘beef flavor.’ Kind of interesting I thought.
#350: Nissin Souper Meal Tomato & Garlic Shrimp with Premium Straight-Cut Noodles
Alright -first off, it’s my lady Kit’s birthday today! Happy Birthday I love you!!! She was just in California and brought me back some noodles. I thought there were only two varieties of this stuff – apparently I was wrong! So here we go!
#348: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Kimchi Flavor
So here’s another one of these by Paldo. It shall be today’s breakfast/lunch.
One solitary packet of love.
#346: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Artificial Chicken Flavor
So I’ve reviewed a lot of bowl noodles. I’m confused as to how Paldo, Samyang and Nongshim all have them and they’re all called bowl noodle. Spicy chicken is pretty common – let’s see how this is.
#342: Nongshim Shin Big Bowl Gourmet Spicy Noodle Soup
So here we go – an even larger container of Nong Shim Shin Ramyun!
Styrofoam! Ready for battle!!!
#331: Sunlee Crab Flavour Instant Noodle (Bowl)
So here’s something I’ve not tried before – Sunlee brand from Thailand! Crab is usually a pretty good instant noodle flavor… Let’s see how this tastes…
#329: Mee-Jang Artificial Beef Flavor Instant Noodles
Here’s another Namchow Mee-Jang variety, this time its artificial beef. So far, these have been pretty good.
