I know it's been real quiet here for the past two years, but I was at my local Asian Grocer yesterday just doing my weekly shop when I saw something that completely stopped me in my tracks. Once I walked around the "Cleaning in progress" sign that blocked my path and got to the noodle isle I was pleasantly surprised with what lay before me. ...
So today I am going solo; I had three packets of these in my drawer at work but someone obviously thought it was a good idea to steal one for a quick lunch-time snack and I really couldn't be bothered to go out and buy another one. So I share some of the responsibility for leaving Josh out. Funny story; ...
It's been a long time, I missed thy noodlies. Kam has been teasing me with these ones for quite a while now. From what I'm being told we're all just blaming Josh for getting this one out so late so I'm going to go with that also: fuck you Josh! Anyway, let's get down to this reviewing business. I freakin' love everything ...
I will say a few things here; I'm not really a big fan of sweet chilli. OK well that was just one thing. Let's just get on with this. So the noodles themselves were actually pretty fantastic; great gauge, long, nice snap to them, and felt really authentic to a Singapore stir ...
Oh my! Sometimes I feel like we should just convert to "Samyang Regret Rater" as it seems this is all we review; but no one else in the noodle industry is contributing as much to the cause. Seriously; Samyang drops more consistent hot bangers than Roc-a-fella records in the late 2000's. My body is ready. So these come courtesy ...
By very little demand, WE ARE BACK! The Mala! These caught my eye from some videos on the tubefaces! 4x hot they said, hottest ever they said! No! You are wrong! These are hot - very hot - but there is no dethroning of the 2x fire noods happening today! I've got more gripes too! Our office used to have these hot water taps that ...
Paul here - long term reader, first time writer. With fear and trepidation I accepted the challenge of joining the crew of noodle review. To make things more exciting, I do have some digestive challenges so its hit or miss whether or not I'll survive the morning after. I really don't know whether I'll be back for a second review... ...
Well this is odd, Didn't I do the review for the last Song Songs? Seems odd to have me say the similar things about the same noods in different packaging! Here we go though! I prefer bowls for convenience sake, I like not having to source a bowl and just dump what I need into a pre-package and go. I'll always have a place in ...
We are back! Sorry for the hiatus; I actually had a week off in Bali getting drunk and eating many non-ramen foods. But we are back on this review thing now with another from our friends in Thailand; Yum Yum! Who doesn't love grilled chicken? And Thai Hot & Spicy? Yes please! Let's dive in! So the color of the ...
Here we go, the brightly coloured packet is making me feel like this is going to be nothing! lets hope they prove me wrong and burn on the way down and the way out ;) A massive block, it was actually so annoying having this block so big as our bowls were just too small and meant we would have to either ...
If only we had a word for the shape that this packaging comes in, We could call it a bowl? OR KING CUP! Now, the King Cup I am familiar with is a drinking game that has never failed to make me violently ill, I hope this holds a different fate. I must admit, serving size is generous, its a big "king cup" ...
So there are many things I like about living so close, and getting the chance to go, to Indonesia; the scenery, the people, the culture...and of course, the Mi Goreng. I just got back from Central Java yesterday after attending a cousins wedding and I brought back some stowaways! Two new Mi Goreng varieties! We all ...
I found these little puppies last night; seems that Nongshim are making this "Mr. Bibim" thing a line! I for one am OK with this as stir-fry noods are the Jam. These ones are...Kimchi...yeah I know; it seems like all we are finding lately are Kimchi! But hey, I love the stuff so I'm not complaining. ...
Here we go yet again with the staple Samyang death sauce, it gives this dish a hearty blood red colour; as if its a warning that you are about to spit out blood because its going to burn your insides out. I digress from the story; this was as always a ripper of a meal. It filled me up to the point I had to stop ...
Another treat from Samyang, I'm more a fried style noodle fan but these reviews aren't going to do themselves (hehe, "do themselves"). I'm not going to lie, when opening the packaging, I found the add-ins a little sparse. One Sachet? I want more goodies! That being said, the ...
I am standing at Kam's desk, bowl in one hand and fork in the other. I stare at the contents of the bowl trying to focus on the previous experience, trying to remember what the taste / burn was like. I tell myself it was OK, it tasted good and burnt the lips a little, so I ...
So we actually reviewed the packet version of these quite a while ago; I'm sure they were one of our first reviews. And we thought they were great! I saw these bowl versions and jumped at the chance for us to review this version. So following the package directions (luke warm water filled to the line, and microwave) we ...
Here we go again with the bowl noods. I'll admit it; I am a massive fan of them and the flavour they provide into my mouth as well as my stomach region area. This nood was no exception! It was delicious! I loved this meal! I wanted more and more! Why do all good things have to come to an end? Why am I rambling? Look ...
The care package has arrived and we are back in business! Behind the scenes we have low key been freaking out about running out of ramen; I think we had one packet left. Moving on, let's get to the review; Samyang's Kim chi Song Song. Noodle block is HUGE! Tasty, tasty thick gauged noodles, the one flaw ...
