The Ramen Rater News: Korea Yakult (Paldo) Will Be Exporting Kkokkomyeon Soon!
I’ve heard now from two separate sources that this Kkokkomyeon stuff is really popular and is going to be a really big deal when it comes to the USA. Both a seller of instant noodles alluded to it as well as a mention by name by the lady at the Kitty House at 99 Ranch Market (they sell Hello Kitty stuff there).
How I Eat My Ramen
Hello fellow “Rameners” My name is Greg, and I am a Ramenholic. As a new contributor to RamenRater.com I thought it would be appropriate to use my first post to share how I prepare Ramen noodles.
Participate: Show Your Noodles!
I was thinking it would be cool to have a page of just pictures of noodles that people had prepared for their lunch or whatever. Well, all I need is people to send in pictures of themselves eating noodles! Every week I’ll post them and put the best one at the top! Sound like fun? I’m really curious what people will come up with! Email your pics to info@ramenrater.com and put “Show Your Noodles” in the subject. Also, first name and last initial and city you hail from if you’re so bold. Can’t wait to see if this happens!

#557: Batchelor’s Super Noodles Southern Fried Chicken Flavour
No way, really? Way. Southern fried chicken. It’s funny because it took the British to come up with a fried chicken flavor of instant noodles! I don’t have a clue why Nissin or Maruchan picks up on this kind of thing and markets it in the US – it’d be so popular here. Alas, I fear they travel the safe road and ‘crazy’ is cheese flavored noodles. I should note though that Maruchan has made a Yakisoba bowl here that is Taco flavored – wish I could get my hands on it!

#442: Nongshim Kal Guk Soo Korean Style Noodle Soup
Okay so I reviewed Samyang’s Kalgugsu a long time ago and it said it was assorted clam flavored noodle soup. This one just says its Korean noodle soup, however its got mussels, anchovy, bonito, shrimp tuna and mushroom going on too. I wouldn’t call it assorted clam flavor this time around – more like assorted flavor flavor.
