#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.
#356: Maruchan Roast Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Yep! Another Maruchan variety. Roast Beef! Shall we begin?

The powder in the bowl awaiting the cooked noodles and boiling water.

#338: Nissin Big Cup Noodles Chicken Flavor Spoonable Noodles & Soup Ramen Noodle Soup

Yeah – seriously. I’ve always liked this kind of thing – I know Nissin Top Ramen had a variety in the past too… So let’s try this out.
#334: Nissin Big Cup Noodles Beef Flavor Spoonable Noodles & Soup Ramen Noodle Soup
So this is the second of these – I imagine there’s a chicken one too.
Today, my lady Kit decided to try one so I sneaked a taste so I could review it. This one was interesting as the last one I’m afraid…
#320: Maruchan Hot & Spicy Picante Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
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
#319: Maruchan Oriental Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
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?
#317: Maruchan Yakisoba Cheddar Cheese Flavor Home Style Japanese Noodles

So we went to the grocery store and got a bunch of Cup Noodles – at only 25 cents a piece why not, and they haven’t been reviewed yet! So here’s shrimp.
#251: Fortune Udon Beef Flavor
So something new – found this at a standard regular run of the mill grocery store. There were three varieties, so we got one of each, especially at 10/$10.
#238: Nissin Chow Noodles Tomato & Basil Flavor Ramen Noodles
Chow noodle! Wow this stuff looks interesting. I liked the cheese version… Let’s see how this one tastes eh?
#226: Nissin Chow Noodles Cheddar Cheese Flavor Ramen Noodles
Before anyone gets their panties in a proverbial ruffle, look at the lower right hand corner. It says ramen noodles.

Been wanting to try this for awhile and thought hey – a sale on it for 69 cents? I’m on it. So here we go.
#221: Nissin Top Ramen Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Yep – surprising isn’t it? When you see that I’ve reviewed well over 200 unique packs of instant noodles to think that I haven’t done beef flavored Top Ramen yet. So here we go!
#218: Maruchan Yakisoba Sweet & Sour Chicken Flavor
Sweet & sour chicken? Is it possible that it could taste like sweet & sour chicken? We shall see…
#216: Maruchan Instant Lunch Roast Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodles With Vegetables

Powder base and veggies in with the noodles. awaiting the pain of the boiling water.

So found the sixth of seven varieties of Bowl Noodle! Kit you rock!!! She saw it at Uwajimaya in Bellevue and boom – here we go!!!
#212: Maruchan Yakisoba Roast Chicken Flavor Home-Style Japanese Noodles
So the local grocery store had four different varieties of this stuff so I thought I might as well run through them. So roast chicken huh? Alrighty…
#204: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Shrimp Flavor
So here’s the last Bowl Noodle I have on hand, Spicy Shrimp Flavor. I’m hunting for the Seafood and the Lobster flavors currently. I think that’s all of them…
#203: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Hot & Spicy Flavor
So going to have another one of these today. This looks like the most basic one.
Again, only one packet.
#202: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Cabbage Kimchi Flavor
So here’s the third of these Bowl Noodles I’ve tried, Cabbage Kimchi. Some not so keen on Kimchi might not know that its not only made of cabbage but other vegetables too, such as radish. Anyways, Let’s get started.
#201: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Beef & Ginger Flavor
Beef & Ginger? Sounds really good! Surprising that I haven’t stumbled upon more packs of instant noodles that have ginger as a main ingredient – it’s so tasty and all…
#200: Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Chicken Flavor
So this is the 200th instant noodle I’ve reviewed! So bright eyed and vaguely bushy tailed at 6:30am, here we go! I’d like to first thank Kit for picking #199 and #200 for my reviews and also for cruising us around and going to all of these Asian groceries around here. If you like the Ramen Rater, go see her Asian and otherwise snack reviews site at http://www.supertastysnacks.com – she just started it last week and she’s got her first few reviews up! Looking good!
#183: Nissin Bowl Noodles Hot & Spicy Chicken Flavor
Some very domesticated Nissin Hot & Spicy! Haven’t tried this kind before – hoping it’s good!

#156: Maruchan Instant Lunch Cajun Style with Chili Piquin & Shrimp Ramen Noodles With Vegetables
So continuing the cavalcade of cup soups, here we have some Maruchan Instant Lunch. Not a very standard rameny flavor but we’ll see how it tastes.
#90: Long Kow Crystal Noodle Soup 6 Kinds of Mushrooms
Click image to enlarge. Slightly spicy. The mushrooms don’t actually have a lot of flavor. The mushrooms were a bit mushy. There’s some yellow stuff that I don’t know what it is… The little yellow bits taste like egg… The noodles are good but they’re hard to eat – they don’t want to stay on a fork and are slimy. I wouldn’t say this stuff is anything special. 2.3 out of 5 stars. Get it here.
#23: Nissin Top Ramen Creamy Chicken Flavor
Nissin: Top Ramen Creamy Chicken Flavor Stars: **** 1/2
Notes: As I have said before, dropped the ball here – really pedestrian. If you’re looking for something authentic, this isn’t it. One thing though – this is the company that originated ramen! This flavor caught my eye today as I feel under the weather and was
hungry. I threw a good tablespoon or two of minced onion [dehydrated] in it
and was pleasantly surprised. If I had another package of it, I would be hard
not to eat it right this instant. The high marks are earned for the flavor, but as far as adventure, it gets a single star.
#12: Sapporo Ichiban Japanese Style Noodles & Shrimp Flavor Soup
Sapporo Ichiban: Shrimp Flavor
Stars: ** 1/2
Notes: Wasn’t all that jazzed about this stuff – I do think I like the Maruchan Shrimp a
tad bit better. The difference however, is that this package of noodles is very
dense – lots of noodles! A plus, but not enough to make me stoked. Get it here.
