Here’s what I had for lunch today (click to enlarge) – not a new review or anything, but thought it was interesting how many international flavors came together on this one. First, FMF Chow Noodles Masala Flavor from Fiji. Added kimchi, a Korean dish, some Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake from Japan, Dua Belibis chili sauce from Indonesia, some ham, stirfry veggies and sweet onion, and a 2 egg omelet with 2 slices of processed cheese and some Tabasco Jalapeno hot sauce – which I presume is all from the United States but might not be. Was pretty good – quite an interesting combo!

#890: Unif / Tung-I Mushroom Flavor Ramen Noodles
So today I have two mushroom flavored instant noodles I’ll be doing. First off will be this Unif/Tung-I mushroom pack. What’s interesting about this one is that Unif Tung-I is usually from Taiwan, but this one’s from Vietnam. Anyways, let’s try this one and see how it is.
#821: Master Kong/康师傅 Potatoes & Stewed Beef Instant Noodles
This rather unassuming package of ramen came from Bo H. of China. I don’t know if this is exactly what this is called, but I hope it comes close to its name in taste. Potatoes aren’t something commonly found when it comes to instant noodles; there’s sweet potato noodles and potato noodles, but really nothing that involved potato flavor.
Re-Review: Nongshim Mupama Tangmyun Noodle Soup
I’ve wanted to re-review this one for a while. Just has a kind of weird name, ya’know? Here’s what the Nongshim site says about it:
#803: Master Kong (康师傅) Premium Taste Roasted Beef Noodle
Here’s another one of the Master Kong variants sent to me by Bo H.! Thanks again! This one is the the first Master Kong large noodle bowl I’ve tried.
#722: Yamamoto Seafood Flavor Ramen
Some Japanese stuff that’s been waiting for just the right day – and this is it. I may have not translated the title exactly right – a few things mentioned ‘thickening’ and ‘flour,’ so this may be thick seafood ramen. Anyways, shall we?
#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.
#441: Ottogi Asian Style Instant Noodle Spice Seafood Noodle
I was very much on the fence as to whether I’d tried this one before, but as it turns out I haven’t. Looks like something tasty.
#438: Samyang Ramen Beef Flavor Big Bowl Noodle Soup
So here’s something good I’m sure! Haven’t ever seen this popular Korean beef ramen in a big bowl before – let’s try it!
#437: Nongshim Big Bowl Spicy Noodle Soup With Kimchi Flavor
Honestly instead of Big Bowl I think these should be marketed as Huge Bowl, but honestly this is about what you would get if you bought a pack of Nongshim Kimchi noodles in a pack, except you would get better quality noodles there. These noodles are built for fast inflating and absorbency.
#431: Unif Tung-I Chinese Onion Flavor Instant Rice Noodles
I’ve reviewed a ton of the Unif noodles, but it’s been quite a while. Here’s a Unif rice noodle – Chinese onion.
#423: Nongshim Shin Cup (Shin Ramyun)
So here’s the last (as far as I know) of the Shin Ramyun line from Nongshim. Shin Ramyun (pack), Shin Cup, Shin Bowl and Shin Big Bowl. Let’s give it a go.
#416: Sapporo Ichiban Chicken Flavor With Natural & Artificial Flavors Oriental Noodle Soup (Cup)
A couple things to start out with here as this picture is somewhat ridiculous. So they’re adding water to the cup. The water is up to the line already and not only that, the contents appear to already be done cooking; the veggies are clearly re-hydrated. Kind of weird I thought.
#399: Paldo Spicy Seafood Flavor Noodle Soup Cup
Ah the fruits of the sea! I wonder if it’ll be a fishy spicy thing going on? I sure hope so…
#387: Nissin Bowl Noodles Rich & Savory Beef Flavor
Well this should be a tasty and tame one after the horror of the zero star review #386. So on we go with some beefiness!
#386: Fu Chang Chinese Noodle Company Pork, Seafood & Noodles Combo
Well, this looks like a lot of insanity! Here we go!!!
Wait – I thought this was pork and seafood flavor, not shrimp flavor…
#375: Vifon Pho Bo An Lien Vietnamese Style Instant Rice Noodle Beef Flavour
So here’s something new but kind of like a lot of other stuff…
Clockwise from top: powdered soup base, veggies and seasoned oil.
#372: Noodle Time Spicy Thai Instant Ramen Noodles With Real Vegetables
So let’s start with the name – Noodle Time. Apparently, this is a Canadian brand. They started in 2001 in Edmondton, Alberta and they make this stuff in a few flavors. They pride themselves on No MSG, althought the bowl if consumed entirely contains about 1,500mg of sodium.
#369: Bon Go Jang Tofu Udon Dosirak
So this one took a little work – all I knew was it was from Korea. Wasn’t sure of anything much other than that and the brand name. Luckily, those two things brought it all together. I found that this stuff is called Tofu Udon Dosirak and comes from Hanil Food Co. Ltd. in Seoul, Korea under its Bon Go Jang line of products. ‘Dosirak’ translates like ‘Bento’ or ‘Take Out Lunch.’ On their website it describes this as “fresh katsuo bushi soup with tofu udon that you can eat simply by adding hot water.”
#368: Knorr Chili Pork Flavour Cup Noodles
So here’s a weird looking one – something my sis brought me back from Canada. Chili Pork flavor sounds good in theory, but very curious how it’ll be in practice. Also, This is the first Knorr brand instant noodle I’ve reviewed; kind of surprising to be honest.
#360: Nissin Cup Noodles Hearty Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup
Another one from California! Thanks my lovely Kitten! So this should be good I hope! Onward!
#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.
#350: Nissin Souper Meal Tomato & Garlic Shrimp with Premium Straight-Cut Noodles
Alright -first off, it’s my lady Kit’s birthday today! Happy Birthday I love you!!! She was just in California and brought me back some noodles. I thought there were only two varieties of this stuff – apparently I was wrong! So here we go!
#348: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Kimchi Flavor
So here’s another one of these by Paldo. It shall be today’s breakfast/lunch.
One solitary packet of love.
#346: Paldo Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Artificial Chicken Flavor
So I’ve reviewed a lot of bowl noodles. I’m confused as to how Paldo, Samyang and Nongshim all have them and they’re all called bowl noodle. Spicy chicken is pretty common – let’s see how this is.
#342: Nongshim Shin Big Bowl Gourmet Spicy Noodle Soup
So here we go – an even larger container of Nong Shim Shin Ramyun!
Styrofoam! Ready for battle!!!
#341: Vina Acecook Daily Vegetarian Flavour Instant Noodles
Some new stuffs of happiness from the folks at Vina Acecook – we have vegetarian flavour. I’m enthused! I’m curious if this will taste like a vegetarian – vegetarian created with Japanese technology, that is!
#332: Nongshim Champong Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup (Cup)
So it’s time for some spiciness! Champong! Bring it!
Was a little surprised to see this one has over 2200mg sodium! It’s just a cup for cryin’ out loud!
#328: Nongshim Big Bowl Udon Japanese Style Noodle Soup
Ladies and gentlemen, the enormous Ramen Box has been opened and we begin. This one comes from Korea.
#326: Little Cook Instant Noodles TVP Curry Chicken Flavoured
So here’s another of the big ole Little Cook bowls. I would like to say first that curried chicken is one of the favorite things of mine. Let’s see if it’s good.
#321: Little Cook Spicy Beef Flavor
So this looks really interesting. Upon tearing off the outer cellophane, i notice that where it says NEW TVP SPICY BEEF FLAVOR is actually a sticker. In fact, on the sides there were stickers as well – ingredients, nutrition facts and direction on preparation.
#318: Unif Super Bowl Instant Noodles Artificial Pickled Chilli Beef Flavor
So this is the third and final Super Bow. I do have a couple more of the Unif brand ones I think so those will be next! Anyways, here we go with Artificial Pickled Chilli Beef flavor!
#316: Unif Super Bowl Instant Noodles Artificial Stewed Pork Chop Flavor
Jeez these things are big enough… I wasn’t able to finish the last one! So here e go with some stewed pork chop! Interesting – don’t those meat cuts on the label look like ribs? I’m just sayin’…
#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.
#308: Tradition Imitation Chicken Flavor Vegetarian Ramen Noodle Soup
Here’s something new – was blown away that I hadn’t noticed it before. This is kosher ramen! It’s made in Canada for a company in Los Angeles called Tradition…
#304: MAMA Phở Bò Rice Noodles With Artificial Beef Flavor Vietnamese Style
Phở bò? Here we go! I like the picture on the lid – looks very inviting and fresh and tasty. We shall see how it tastes! Join me won’t you? WON’T YOU?
#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!
#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!
#259: Vina Acecook Mì Lẩu Thái Instant Noodles Seafood Flavor
Here’s some more of the Vina Acecook stuff me and my lovely Kit found at HT Oaktree market last week. Seafood flavor!
#256: Nissin Cup Noodles Shrimp Flavor
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.
