Prima Taste Singapore Chilli Crab La Mian Premium Noodle in Sweet & Spicy Seafood Sauce

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 ...

Nongshim Mr. Bibim Noodles with Korean Spicy Sauce Stir-fried Kimchi Flavour

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. ...

JML Instant Noodle Artificial Spicy Beef Flavour

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 ...

Nissin Demae Ramen Spicy Flavour

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 ...

Ching’s Secret Schezwan Instant Noodles

Ahh, Ching's 'instant' noodles that you're meant to boil for like a million years. I think I was actually dehydrated after this, the noodles seemed to keep swelling in my stomach, absorbing the moisture from my very body. Would recommend you actually follow the instructions on this one to avoid injury, and get the full taste. Apart from ...

Choice Mi Goreng Flavoured Instant Noodles

So, Choice is a budget brand here in Australia. They Make cigarettes and they make noodles now (they probably make other things too but these are two things I know for sure). The reason I mentioned cigarettes is because the flavour was extremely lacking, Almost as if I had no taste-buds ...

Wai Wai Pad Char Baby Clam Flavour Instant Noodles

So these are the last ones that our fellow ramen-nite Ja sent us; the Thai trio is now complete. And Josh will again be super excited because these are another seafood variety! How great! So as per usual from these Thai companies we have a tiny noodle block, and it looks to be the ...

Mi ABC Selera Pedas Mi Instan Rasa Sup Tomat Pedas (Hot Tomato Soup Flavour)

Spicy tomato flavour? Sure, why not? I like tomato soup and a bit of chilli is always a good thing. Let's see how this goes. Firstly, this looks like swamp water after mixing. Why isn't it red? I associate the colour red in broths to both spicy and/or tomato, instead we are left with a murky orange-ish colour. Normal ...

Sichuan Baijia Chongqing Noodles Hot and Sour Flavor

In a welcome change from our previous dish, we encounter an explosion of flavour in this bad boy. Plenty of additions! Check 'em, we have a total of 4 goddamn flavour packets for quite a small noodle cake, which would explain why you're supposed to use quite a bit of water for this - around 600ml. The dish looks great when mixed; a deep blood ...

Suimin Noodles With Hot and Spicy Flavour

Well, this was average. Part of me wishes to repeat the word average until I have reached a respectable word limit. I chose against this because that would not accurately describe just how average this average noodle is; average. No fork? What is this? Average noodles are found inside an average cup with somewhat above ...

MyOri Malaysia Penang White Curry Noodle Mee Kari Putih Penang (dengan Ramuan Semulajadi)

For gods sake. No, I'm serious; this name is longer than Jay-Z's money. Do you know how annoying it was to make the feature image for this article? Don't ask. I'm mad. These better be good. So the package does say "Super Spicy" on the side, so I do have somewhat high expectations for the heat level of these; it's been a ...

Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton Chili-Mansi Flavour

Fresh return after a wisdom tooth extraction, I was excited for my return until Kam spun the wheel. Lucky Me! Not summing up my feelings, we appear to be dinning on Lucky me Chilli Lime noods. Much the same story as our last tasting of this companies serving; where the hell is the flavour? Three sachets; we like that Noodle block ...

Cintan Perisa Kari Curry Flavour Delicious Chewy Noodles

You definitely don't need a super bowl to eat these; the noodle block is tiny and noodles very thin. One sachet only also, this definitely did not impress out of the packet. We remained hopeful and proceeded with the consumption despite the "2 minute noodle" presentation. ...

Tseng Rice Noodle Spicy Flavor

I didn't know 'spicy' was a flavour; looks like I learn something new every day. Seriously, reading the packaging (the English part on the back at least) next to 'flavour' it literally just says 'Spicy'. How mysterious. Look! SPICY flavour! So we have a thing with Taiwanese noodles; they either taste bland or they ...

Ve Wong Dried Instant Noodles Assorted Hot Chili Flavor

I will continue with the review despite that terrible joke. Here at RRG we are all about new experiences and this was definitely an ummm interesting one. One packet policy in full effect OK where to start, the noodle block was standard, no roughage. The ...

Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Chicken Flavor

Another Bowl noodle? Okay sure. Opening up the pack, dehydrated veggies already added; is that a mushroom? NICE! Nood block looks a little lacking, but I guess we'll see after the cook. Oooh. Look at those bitties! I like the smell, it smells delicious. Upon first mouthful, I felt lost; it was just average. Unbelievably ...

Maggi Perencah Kari Mi Segera

It came, it glorped, it disappointed. Ahh Maggi, I fucking hate you. The noodles seem to taste how poverty feels - listless and uneducated, if you had it every day you would be filled with a depression that blots out everything good, and drives you to drink to escape your own life. The block is an  uninspiring, lumpy, ...

Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton Hot Chili Flavour

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 ...

Indo Mie Rasa Kari Ayam Chicken Curry Flavour

So to help us decide which delicious ramen we will review each day we invented the worlds first "Wheel of Ramen"; it's a big wheel with lots of numbers basically. We numbered all our noods and spun the wheel. Fate decided we should review these babies today. I forgot to take a photo of the noodle block; it's ...

Ve Wong Fried Noodles with Mexican Chilli Flavor (And “Pork Composite Materials”)

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, ...
