#572: Maruchan Yakisoba Home Style Japanese Noodles Tomato & Basil Flavor
Been awhile since I’ve had a domestic Maruchan Yakisoba! This one was purchased on our drive back from our honeymoon this summer in mid-July. Got it and another one at a Chevron in northern Oregon of all places!
#571: Shirakiku Japanese Style Ramen Shirakiku Tokusen Sio Ramen
Was digging in the noodle hamper and found this little gem so thought I’d have it for breakfast today with a couple eggs boiled in with the noodles.
#570: O-Sung Keopnurungji Rice Snack
Hey what do we have here? Well, this isn’t instant noodles but it’s an instant cup of rice. I’m going to count this one in the mix since I would n’t be surprised if someone comes across this and asks ‘hey, what is this stuff?’
#569: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Suc Song Huong vi Thit bam Artificial Pork Flavor
This one’s pretty unique looking – what the heck is Suc Song? I would love to find out because I can’t find anything about it! Artificial pork flavor sounds good though!
#568: Paldo Gomtang Noodles Beef Flavor With Vegetable
Gomtang? Sounds pretty bizarre. I wonder what it means…
I found a little info on Wikipedia about this stuff:
#567: Goku-Uma Japanese Style Instant Noodles Soy Sauce Flavor
Well here’s something I haven’t had in a while – Goku-Uma. Sounds like a tasty breakfast so I shall begin.
#566: Food Mon DJ-DOC Jjolmyeon
This is another from the DJ-DOC line. DJ-DOC is a kind of boy band/dance trio from Korea from what I see on Youtube. The last one of these I had was pretty spicy and like a lasagna! Curious how this one’ll be! This one has ‘jjolmyeon – what’s that you say? Here’s a little wisdon from the Wikipedia:
#565: Batchelors Super Noodles To Go Curry Flavour
Curry! Bacon, ramen, fresh water eel, mayonnaise and curry – all the highest of the high on my list of edibles! Here’s curry noodles from the UK!
#563: Yum Yum Oriental Style Instant Noodles Duck Flavour
We reach the last of the instant noodles sent by Michael V.N. from Holland with Yum Yum Duck flavor. Thanks again Michael – these have all been a real myriad of different flavors and brands I’ve never seen here before.
#562: Batchelors Super Noodles Bacon Flavour
When I mentioned I would be reviewing this to my friend Matthew B., he exclaimed ‘bacon is the opiate of the masses!’ I would have to agree; there is nothing on this planet as good as the prince of foods, bacon. With that, I present for your viewing pleasure, bacon flavored British instant noodles. Thanks again, Cindy!
#561: Sahmyook Noodle (Vegetable)
Here’s one of the new ones that Greg B. from Florida sent my way. Never heard of this brand – says its from Los Angeles but it took someone from the east coast to clue me in about it!
#560: Myojo Soy Sauce Flavor Ippei-Chan Japanese Style Soup Noodles
Had a hell of a day today. Tried my bus card but it didn’t beep (figured the reader was at fault) so hopped the bus. Well, the fare cops had me get off the bus and checked out my card and it was screwed up. The fare cop said don’t worry just hop back on and get a new one at the bus station. Thinking ‘hey that went well ,” a different fare cop pulls me off the bus further down the line! Ugh. Long story short, I eventually got to the bus sttion and got a new card that won’t work for 24-48 hours… But I got to and from work and now I’m home – and hungry. This sounded especially good.
#559: Wai Wai Quick Tom Yum Shrimp Flavour Instant Cup Noodle
Whoa what’s this?
Okay I cam read that. I figured I should pick out an orange one of some kind for Halloween…
#558: Long Kow’s Crystal Noodle Soup Vegetables ( and Eggs )
Thought this looked worth trying. Vegetables and noodles. Sure why not.
Here’s the flavoring packet if you want to call it that. It says Vegetables and Eggs though… I am truly unhappy – I didn’t take a picture of this and I’m really bummed and truly sorry. It looked like a brick of freeze-dried vegetable omelet. When I poured boiling water on it, it disintegrated and started fluffing up almost immediately.
#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!
#556: Wings Food Mie Sedaap Mi Goreng Perisa Asli
This is Mi Goreng – made by Indomie’s chief competitor. Will it stack up to Indomie Mi Goreng? Let’s see – the battle begins!
#555: Batchelor’s Super Noodles Chinese Chow Mein Flavour
Hey! Some more noodles I got from Cindy C. of Middlesex, UK! Thanks again! So this one’s Chinese Chow Mein. It’s also promising the possibility of currency inside the packet!
#554: Yum Yum Shrimp Flavour (Tom Yum) Oriental Style Instant Noodles
Here we have some Yum Yum noodles sent to me from Holland. made in Thailand and they’re Tom Yum flavor. Sounds good to me – here we go.
#553: Samyang 60 Ingredients Cup
Here’s a bit of a mystery sent to me by Nathan in Canada. So what’s this one? Well, the little icon up top gave it away as a Samyang variety, but all I can say is it’s 60 Ingredients. Let’s try it, and if you can read the cup and it’s called something more, please let me know in a comment!
#552: Super Bihun Instant Rice Noodles Bihun Kuah Rasa Baso Sapi
Here we go with another of the Super Bihun products – Bihun Kuah Rasa Baso Sapi. Wow – what a name! From having Indomie products many times, I was able to figure out this is meatball flavor. Also, it’s got the little bomb logo on the top left! Awesome!
#550: Nissin Taisho Fried Noodle Yakisoba Flavor Instant Noodle ( Hong Kong )
#549: Wings Food Mie Sedaap Supreme Soto Soup Noodle
Something new from Indonesia? Sure why not. The front mentions extra delicious fresh lime as an ingredient – sounds good to me!
#548: Pot Noodle Original Curry Flavour
Thanks to Cindy C. of Middlesex, England’s amazingly kind donation, we’ve got a myriad of instant noodles from the U.K. to review now! I’ve wanted to try Pot Noodle ever since I heard of it a while back, and so here we go with the first of many, Original Curry flavour!
Massive Donation From The U.K.
Recently, I got an email from in the UK named Cindy C. offering to send me some instant noodles. I said sure! Well, she really came through and I want to say thanks! Here’s the box they came in, a Dell laptop box! When I picked it up and carried it back to my apartment, I was really curious why it was so heavy – surely she didn’t send me a laptop!
#547: Lucky Me! Instant Pancit Canton (Chow Mein) Sweet & Spicy Flavor
Hey! Haven’t tried this yet! Pancit Canton is a lot like Indomie’s Mi Goreng – that’s one of my favorites!
#546: Yum Yum Oriental Style Instant Noodles Vegetable Flavour
Vegetable flavor huh? Vegetables are supposedly something that makes one healthy. I don’t think they’re present in much of a relevant amount here, but let’s see what we’ve got.
#545: Golden Wheat Korean Style Spicy Beef Cooking Noodle
Here’s another one from Nathan up in Vancouver. First off, this one’s BIG. it calls for 700mL of water and to be cooked for 5-6 minutes! Aside from this stuff, there are some oddities I noticed that were kind of interesting.
#544: Unox Good Noodles Kip ( Chicken )
Here’s another Dutch noodle from Michael V.N. in Holland! He informed me that kip means chicken – it’s kind of funny as almost every other noodle package that is chicken flavored usually has some kind of image of a chicken on it – this one’s covert!
#543: Menraku Japanese Curry “Udon”
One of my favorite things in all the world of cuisine is curry. Hot curry, curry soup, curry beef, curry chicken, curry vindaloo, curry powder, curry paste, green curry, yellow curry, masaman curry, Indian curry and Japanese curry. This sounded good and I’m starving.
#542: Wingsfood Mi Sedaap Mi Sup Perisa Ayam Istimewa (Artificial Chicken Special Flavor)
Hey this looks shmancy! Nothing better than an interesting new pack of noodles from Indonesia.
From Rolls to Bowls: Genji Sushi Launches Freshly Prepared All-Natural Ramen Noodle Soup at Whole Foods Market
So I found out about this today and thought it sounds rather interesting. I’m hoping I might be able to do an actual review of these soon as they sound quite good! Here’s a press release about it:
#541: Yum Yum Oriental Style Instant Noodles Chicken Flavour
Here’s another of the Yum Yum’s that were sent from Holland! Chicken flavor eh? I like chicken as well as chickens!
#532: Doll Instant Noodle Spicy Tonkotsu Flavour
Thanks to Nathan R. of Vancouver, Canada, I have this wonderful package of noodles that I will be devouring shortly. Was sure I’d had every variety of the Doll line but apparently I haven’t – I think maybe this one just isn’t distributed in the USA.
#531: Yum Yum Oriental Style Instant Noodles Beef Flavour
Here’s some more from Michael V.N. of Holland! Thanks again! This one’s called Yum Yum – had my son choose whether I should have the chicken or the beef and he told me I should have the beef today and the chicken tomorrow. Sounds like a plan!
#530: Namchow Mee-Jang Artificial Shrimp Tom Yum Flavor Instant Noodles
This was a neat find at a local market I don’t go to very often. There’s a long aisle of instant noodles and I noticed a single instant noodle cup that didn’t seem to have any place where it would go. So I went around to the other side of the aisle and was hoping there’d be more. Well, there wasn’t a continuation of instant noodle aisle, but I did find this one in a weird spot, again with no correlating spot on the main aisle. With that, once again I bring you what you want.
#529: Sapporo Ichiban Japanese Style Noodles Hot & Spicy Chicken Flavored Soup
A new find today at a big Korean supermarket nearby. Been a while since I’ve reviewed anything by Sapporo Ichiban. What’s interesting too is that the packaging proclaims that it’s new! Also on the back it says it’s three servings! Boy, this economy sure is hitting everyone hard! Now instant noodle rationing!
#528: Unox Good Noodles Groente (Vegetable)
Check it out! Thanks to Ramen Rater blog follower Michael V.N.’s donation package, we have the first ever noodles to review from Holland! Not only a new country but a new brand – Unox. The package has directions on the back to either make just noodles or noodle soup – I decided for the noodle soup.
#527: Little Cook Instant Noodles Wheat Gluten Stewed Duck Flavored
Wow – what an inviting variety! Wheat gluten stewed duck flavored!
So this is a big bowl of the Little Cook stuff – Namchow makes it. These are always interesting.
