Ah Samyang; we have a fondness in our heart for your little fiery treats. We look for any excuse to slide your hot noods down our moist throats so in this respect we are glad you make such a variety of styles and packaging formats; this way we are constantly finding ways to re-visit a small bowl of heaven. Anyway...these are ...
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 ...
Here we finally are after so long of having these noods sitting on the table, having us eye ball these babys for nearly 4 months now. These have been there for so long! Let's hope they have lived up to what we are after! God these are living up to the standard of perfect nood blocks from Samyang! These have to be ...
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 ...
Well these are another nood from the Philippines; but not by "Lucky Me". In fact these are made by global noodle powerhouse Nissin; could be good, could be bad. First impressions weren't great and the taste wasn't much better. The noods themselves were nice (kind of flat, good texture and gauge) but the flavour was ...
Man oh man did these look promising. Noodle block was round, ideal for fitting in a bowl (observe below annoyingly aesthetic image). Three sachets, with the blood red "hot sauce" packet again looking like these will deliver. Other two sachets contained dehydrated veg and what looked like a gray ...
I don't even know what to say. I wanted to give these the benefit of the doubt because Nissin have treated us pretty well with their other noods; these were a lie. A big fat lie. There is no Spicy, there is no Flavour; so how dare you call this "Spicy Flavour"? So we get the standard thing nood block you would EXPECT from ...
In your bowls ready set let's go Ramen review pro I know you know I go psycho when my new MSG hit Just can't sit Got to get Jjigae wit it, thats it Now honey honey come taste Nongshim all up in my eye You gotta Sachet bag with a lot a stuff in it Put it in the bowl let's spin Everybody lookin' at me Glancin' ...
Samyang back. The Classic Buldak flavour meets curry flavour yet again, this time meeting in the bowl of deliciousness. I am a big fan of the curry variety of fire noods, feel free to take a look at our last stab at these in packet variety. A lot of the same compliments are extended to the bowl Variety with the convenience of ...
Here we are eating what ever kimchi is; have to say I was not a fan of what it looked like coming out the packet, looks sorta like cat food? The powder as soon as it came out and the smell hit my nose gave me flash backs of the old days with Nacho cheese easy mac... oh how I miss them! Bigger then you average nood block, it needs to hide ...
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 ...
We love our Mamee. They have yet to disappoint (Ok, it's 2 for 2 but that's still a good run) so I'm super pumped to try these; even better that they are Tom Yam flavour! Noods were a bit busted (my fault, should have checked the packets before I bought) but a lot of additions! Crispy veggies, a few prawns, plenty ...
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 ...
Nissin, your UFO ramen are a revelation. From the nood block being most tasty to the abundance of seasoning/sauce Sachets the only subpar contribution of your UFO series is the shitty fork you provide, it's terrible. Everything else though, top notch. I write this, ...
