As you can tell I came in to this review with the satisfaction of being the king of the originals; I would destroy 2 packets and still have room for a 3rd. As you can see the nood block is the same as the classic, only there is different seasoning with this one. Eating the noodles ...
Aww yiss, round cakes. Really enjoyed this one, it had an interesting taste! Opening the package reveals a soup base packet, sauce packet and a sachet of straight vinegar. The soup package has some dried beef, onions and..... something.... round, like a pea but different. Kinda looks like a legume of some sort. Will ...
This was a fusion dish we were all looking forward to. Those rockstars of instant ramen, Samyang, have offered up an interesting stir-fry nood this time. Mixing their seal of approval winning Hot Chicken Flavour sauce with a fragrant curry, and some dried bits of..... Potato? Lentils? I'm not really sure, but ...
So these puppies first came to my attention when Hans over at the Ramen Rater showed me a photo of them; looks a lot like something else we have seen doesn't it? Isn't there something called Intellectual Property? This looks like such a clear stab at imitating Samyang's prize cow that it's insulting. That being said; we are always ...
I didn't even realize this delicious little fella was on the table, we have entirely too much ramen here at work. The title; roasted pork ribs? Sounds great! We've been lied to by packaging before this wasn't really an exception. "Hot spicy"; we came to the conclusion they meant to say "Not spicy" and it was a poor translation. Look at ...
So this is one I grabbed at a nearby Asian grocer; I can't read a thing on the packet but it had a photo of some chilies so we knew this would be right up our alley. So Bún bò Huế is apparently a popular Vietnamese soup with vermicelli and beef; now we know what it is let's dive in. Packets galore Look at all ...
So this one is from the Philippines; it's the first time we have had one from this part of the world so we are really excited to see what they have to offer (apart from American accents and homophobic boxing champions)! That's a tiny, tiny block Packets are kind of small; was tempted to make up two but ...
I'm going to start this out with saying this is good; good when it comes to taste. If we came to the decision that these were delicious, I would not have argued too harshly. I think this will be my staple base when adding bits and bobs to my at home ramen dishes. The nood block is plentiful, nice and thick, ...
I suppose Mexico and Taiwan have a bit in common - both having large neighbours that are kind of dicks to them. So having a fusion dish kind of makes sense, but the execution definitely needs some polish. All the right ingredients are there: black bean, spices, chilli, pork composite materials(?) for the Mexican taste, ...
Hannibal the Cownibal strikes! This was quite a tasty dish, if a bit light on chunks of goodness. This nood goes back to tried and true ramen basics: a hearty beef broth with a bit of peppery spice to round out the flavour. But I do feel the dish was a little too basic, it really struggles to stand out from a crowd ...
Well, right out of the gate, I screwed the pooch on this one by absent mindedly throwing Kam's fried onions in the bin, he may never forgive me. I had to sacrifice my noods with the fried onions for my incompetence and eat his without the fried goodies. Seems to be the standard Indonesian noodle block ...
I'm a big fan of Mee Goreng, It's reminiscent of my year abroad and broke. It reminds me of a simpler time, back when bills were minimal, debts didn't exist yet and smoking in pubs was still legal. My cohorts are already quite mad as I had to eat mine a day later than them, so this review is late and it's all ...
I wasn't entirely convinced before opening these up; I always judge a book by its cover and the shiny tinfoil coupled with unoriginal name with questionable word order (Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavour?? Come on guys) had my expectations set very low for these noodles. It also comes with no vegetable sachet (no roughage ...
