Here’s one I got a while ago at Uwajimaya in Seattle. It’s big, Japanese and tonkotsu flavor – sounds much better than the last one I had!

#790: GreeNoodle Shiitake and Soy Sauce
Aha the GreeNoodle. I will be the first to admit that I think I’ve only liked one of these that I’ve reviewed. This one’s mushroom too, a flavor I rarely care for. But I’m really hoping I like this one.

Welcome to the 14th installment of The Ramen Rater Noodle News!
Here’s a slew of stories I found online in the past week or two – enjoy!
#788: Uni-President 100 Old Clay Pot Pickled Vegetables Beef Noodles
Here’s the first review of the batch of six instant noodles sent to me by Bo H. of China! This one looks really interesting; I’m not 100% sure that this is the correct title either, but this is the best translation I could get. I wonder who that guy is?
Grilled Kimchi’n’Cheese Shinwich
So I saw this recipe here and I thought hmmm… What a great idea! But I thought it might go better a little done differently…
#787: emart Ramen e Ramen White Broth Noodle Soup
Today I received a big box full of instant noodles from South Korea! These are made by emart. If you can imagine a Korean version of Walmart, you’re on the right track – these are super huge superstores over there. Anyways, a fellow from emart contacted me about reviewing this new product of theirs and of course I said yes. They sent a box with some nice hats and 8 of these 6 pakcs – yep – 48 packages of noodles! Wow!
Something New From Korea To Review
A couple weeks ago, I was contacted by a fellow named Stan. He said there was a new product that a big supermarket in Korea called emart would like me to review. They’re called Ramen e Ramen White Broth Noodle Soup. Sounds cool to me!
Awesome Donation From China
Bo H., who lives abroad in China decided he’d send some nice Chinese varieties! He warned that it might take a long time – they were shipped May 8th and arrive today, June 27th!

My Mom’s Custom Breakfast Ramen From When I Was A Kid
I have very fond memories of what my mom used to make for me to eat during my childhood. She used to make me Totino’s Party Pizzas for breakfast, (I had one a couple days ago and noticed that either they’ve gotten a lot smaller or I’ve gotten a whole lot bigger). She used to make the wonder of wonders, turkey spread as well, which consisted of mayonnaise, sweet pickles, leftover Thanksgiving and a Cusinart – I would have that and some more mayo on crackers and it was divine. One thing that I must say really stood out was a breakfast dish she would make for me. She called it ‘Spaetzle,’ but it was a little different than this:
#784: Hankow “Cai Lin Ji” Dry Noodles
Here’s another one my sister brought me from Canasda. I’ve been very curious about what’s going on with this one for a while. Today seemed like the right day for it. I used the UPC code to find the website for this company and found this little snippet about the product:
#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
#781: Vina Acecook Kingcook Beef Flavour Kimchi Noodle Soup
#780: Ottogi Jin Ramen (Mild) (Korean Version)

#778: Mamee Express Cup Curry Flavour
Here’s a little curry cup from Mamee. My sis brought it back to me from Canada earlier this year.
#777: Mr. Noodles Oriental Flavour Instant Noodles
How awesome – Canadian instant noodles! Thanks go to Mark K. and Erika L. for getting these to me! I asked my wife to pick which one to try first – she said with a resounding note of certainty, “Oriental.” Indeed, it shall be the first one of these I sample.
#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.
Mr Noodles Has Arrived!

Today, a package arrived from Indonesia! It was send by a reader who went to a lot of trouble to ship these! Thank you very much!
#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.
