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. ...
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... ...
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 ...
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" ...
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 ...
Here we go! Another Mi Goreng packet of noods! The moment we opened the packet up it gave off some really disgusting smell like something was wrong with the meal. It was a little off-putting. It comes with the standard 3 sachets ready for your noods (technically it's 5) as is par for the course with any Indonesian ...
It's a tough game in Australia's noodle market to come out with Mi Goreng, the masses will always flock to Indo Mie's variant, it's tried and true. The packaging is perhaps a little underwhelming it looks as though the marketing team kind of phoned it in. On first impression, my ...
So I saw these puppies at a Korean grocery store; the packaging immediately stood out to me because it's one I have never come across in my travels. It looks fun! Nongshim have been pretty good to us and I'm always a fan of Korean Spicy Chicken ANYTHING. So buy them I did. Nood block is pretty standard fare; to be honest I ...
Let me start by bidding farewell to Steve, if you steal our regret rating at your new job, we will find you. Let's get started, Mamee. The offerings from Malaysia have been touch and go, and these were a good example of why we are typically indifferent about Malay Ramen. The inclusions are ample, there are ...
Mama, bringing the goods. Typically we have found the only let down with Mama to be their choice of noodle cake. The inclusion of Korean Style noodles in this pack was a very welcome treat. I'm finding my least favourite part of reviewing is when the flavour is just "Hot and Spicy". I feel like this is a cop out, ...
So this is another one my better half brought back from Indonesia for us to review; this one appears (from the cover) to be a creamy kind of chicken (ayam) based broth. Exciting! Let's crack these open! Sorry; I added the water before I took this photo. I was so excited for these that I ...
What the golly gosh is this! look at the size of the block my fist is bigger then this thing, this isn't a meal this is a snack for a 10 year old! The moment I opened the seasoning sachet I got the smell of pure sweetness, what is this! Gonna have to say the photo makes it looks worse then what it really ...
Master Kong; I like to envision this being conceived by Donkey Kongs father. While DK was tormenting Mario and running around collecting Bananas all Master Kong wanted was for his son to take over his Noodle business. This probably is not however the origin of the name. Firstly, a round Noodle block always steads in good favour for ...
Well well well; we made it! We finally got to 100 reviews; you thought it would never happen, heck I thought it would never happen. Shoot, I thought the first 100 we would get to was "It took Steve 100 days to finish his review"; but nope, 100 reviews. And what better way to celebrate than to review the classic Indonesian ...
Here we go topping out at 99 of our ramen; we finally start coming to a more standard packet of noods! This nood looks exactly the same as the Indomie Mi Goreng, even has the exact same packets of soy! But can this be different? Let's find out. Pretty standard block nothing special here Kam kinda did some wacky thing with the contents of ...
I think I have been eating shitty seafood flavoured things for a long time. I'm finding the seafood flavoured ramen haven't been as bad as anticipated. I appreciate the cup noodle's. I like that it's the perfect work lunch, everything's already in there, just add water. The flakes of (what I hope is) actual crab is a nice touch. I'm not big ...
Now I am a HUGE fan of Pho Soup, so when we spun these n00ds I was thoroughly excited. Loving the variety we've been getting as of late. These came in a cup, upon revealing the contents we found everything in plastic bags, nice touch. Rice noodles were bunched up and sealed, another bag contained ...
Here I am covering for Steve, because he doesn't have the time to do a review! The noodle block is a small block, and very thin noodles but they manage I guess. Here we have 3 different packets of goodies! Now this is kinda confusing; these noodles tell you to make it as a soup, and then if you like you can pour out the ...
Well, This sucked. Only because I had a wisdom tooth out over the weekend. These had just enough spice to make my open mouth cavity a stinging throbbing mess. I could feel my mouth becoming progressively more inflamed throughout the afternoon. This was a nightmare. It was tasty, I enjoyed the crap out of these noods. ...
Yes the taglines are terrible right? So we haven't had the pleasure of reviewing Mamee yet; and for our first one we have a delicious sounding Curry Laksa! Opening the package we get a lot of goodies; two seasoning sachets, dried vegetables (and tofu!) and some kind of laksa paste. All up makes for a bit of excitement here. ...
