So what a shocker – we were strolling down the aisle of a big box grocery store and saw this sitting there. I like how they incorporated the Mexican flag into the packaging too! While trying to find a commercial for the last review (#319: Maruchan Oriental Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup) I found a TON of homemade videos for Maruchan Instant Lunch as well as official ones. It was insanity! test

So my son is over today and he loves noodles too, so I get a bite of his and get to review it while he gets to eat it. It’s a fair deal I think! So here’s Maruchan Oriental – and yeah; it is a surprise that I haven’t reviewed it isn’t it?

#311: Vifon Tasty Asian Style Instant Noodle Mushroom Flavor
Okay so my theory here is that if it says it’s tasty, there’s an extremely good chance it isn’t. I’ve never been a mushroom fan but I’ve been coming around lately. This however looked gross to me and has been sitting at the bottom of my noodle box for a while. Today I decided no longer will I fear these noodles. No longer will I cower under my afghan. Bring it noodles – let’s see how ya are.

The Ramen Rater News 2/13/2011
So today I reviewed the 300th unique ramen / instant noodle pack of this weird and fun hobby of mine. There’s been a lot of different things I’ve found enjoyable about this hobby: learning about different cultures, talking with people from around the world, and, most importantly, getting to eat some cheap and sometimes extremely good food.

Some more of these Paldo noodles. Let’s see how they taste and especially what I’m curious about – if these are thicker noodles.
#290: Doll Instant Noodle Spicy Artificial Beef Flavour
So recently I reviewed the pickled vegetable and the chicken Doll noodles and they were excellent. Spicy beef is hopefully as good.
#289: Paldo Korean Noodle Broad Noodles
So I’ve got a few packs of these Paldo noodles to do. They are pretty ho-hum looking, although this one looks quite interesting. Broad noodles tend to be very good, so we’ll see how they are.
#288: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Artificial Beef Flavor Instant Rice Noodles
Some rice noodles from Vietnam. This was a puffy pack – like a pillow of non-beef goodness!
Re-Review: Wei Lih Jah Jan Mien Instant Noodles With Fried Soybeans Paste
So I’ve gotten a couple comments about doing this stuff wrong and sure enough, I made it wrong. So I shall try this again!
#285: Doll Instant Noodle Artificial Chicken Flavour
So here’s another Doll instant noodle. Sounds like a regular old flavor and shouldn’t be anything all that amazing. We’ll see.
#283: Paldo King Cup Kimchi Pot Stew Instant Noodle
So a big hurking bowl noodle. The only time I’ve ever seen anything this size before when not a fresh udon bowl was the Nissin Souper Meals. Its 2152mg of sodium and should pack a wallop!
#282: Doll Instant Noodle Pickled Vegetable Flavour
So we went to 99 Ranch Market yesterday and turns out there were two more kinds of Doll instant noodles they had that I’ve not tried! So here’s the first, pickled vegetable.

So here’s the second one of these Wai Wai packsI got recently. Says it’s very hot!

Re-Review: Indomie Mi Goreng Rasa Ayam Panggang Jumbo Barbecue Chicken Flavour Fried Instant Noodles
So I got a message this morning from a gentleman in Denmark who thought that Indomie’s special fried curly noodles were some of the best stuff he’s ever had. I must agree! Coincidentally, I found a pack of this stuff sitting in the cupboard and thought that the barbecue chicken flavor really could use a re-review. So come on and follow me on a journey into the world of tasty noodles!
#273: Wai Wai Minced Pork Tom Yum Flavor
So here’s some Wai Wai noodles. Let’s see how they are! One thing I should mention first is that it’s a little smaller than most packages of noodles and only calls for 300cc of water.
#272: Vina Acecook Mì Lẩu Thái Instant Noodles Artificial Chicken Flavor
So here’s the last of these I have from HT Oaktree Market. Hope it’s good – been looking forward to it!

Re-Review: Samyang Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
So I think I reviewed this in maybe 2003, so it’s been a long time and I thought it might be time for another take on it. From the sheer amount of commercials I’ve come across on YouTube for this stuff, I think that this is Samyang’s premiere product in Korea; although I could be totally wrong…
#266: Vina Acecook Mì Lẩu Thái Shrimp Flavor Instant Noodles
Some shrimp Vina Acecook – can’t wait to try this – I’ve been really enjoying their products recently.
#262: Vina Acecook Daily Instant Noodles Mì Bò Viên Beef Ball Flavour
Beef balls. Well, I really don’t think they mean rocky mountain oysters here. I think its soy protein.
