This was a fantastic noodle cake, something different to mix up the reviews; It reminded me of the casings to Dim Sims, Nice. The approval kind of ended there; flavour was not really present, no bits of garnish to add, nothing! Just a little oily satchel with minimal flavour. ...
I learned a valuable lesson today; don't always rely on the serving suggestion for making your noods. I mean, look at the packet; that fork on the right is making it pretty clear these are a stir fry nood (the noodles have lots of little chilli specs and slices clinging to them for dear life). I think it's almost close enough ...
We had been eye-ing these up for a while; I'd located these via an online merchant prior to my trip gallivanting around Indonesia. "Hot Garlic Flavour" mmmm. I love garlic; and I love heat. Let's see how these hold up. There are two noodle blocks in this bowl; they are tiny The pack says it serves 4; the noodle ...
So we are doing something unprecedented for this one; I am flying solo on the review. I know, I know; crazy right? Why? Well, when I was in Indonesia for Christmas on my Ramen-hunting mission my wife did me a solid and picked some up for me when she was out meeting a friend. The problem is she didn't buy 3 of each ...
Disclaimer: I'm racist against mussels, creepy beardy wee things. And this dish tastes like mussels, quite a bit. The noodles again are a winner, Nongshim have a great recipe going for them, and the shape is so convenient for those of us who don't use square bowls. The noods will need a bit of microwaving if you're going the soak method, but ...
Much like the Nazi ideology, this 'white' curry is all show and little substance. From the massive size of the flavour sachets, I was expecting much from this curry - bold flavours, lots of heat, massive regret. In reality there wasn't much to this. While still an adequately tasty broth, it certainly lacked ...
Not completely shit. That is about the best way I can describe this noodle. While the sesame oil gives this dish a nice mouthfeel, the taste is lacking, there are no vegetable chunks, and even with the visible and plentiful 'chilli flakes' I've seen spicier PG-13 sex scenes. Before it's mixed; look I can see chilli! Good for the spice-shy if ...
After yesterday I assumed things can only get better; was quite disappointed with Maggi's effort on the Laksa noodles (ramen is clearly not their strong suit...which is quite funny to be honest since they are a noodle company). So today it's their "Spicy Korean Beef"; is it Korean Beef that is spicy? Or is it beef made by a "Spicy ...
I was excited for this, Maggi being such a reputable instant noodle company and one from my youth, I was excited to try their premium line. I'm not sure if I did it wrong, if maybe my taste buds were broken or what, but I came out from this experience: disappointed. The noodles themselves were good, firm and what I ...
This broth is certainly striking to the eye, and does little to reassure you that the aftermath will be a pleasant one. However, after overcoming the apprehension, I was pleasantly surprised by the beefy broth, with undertones of squiddy goodness imparted by the freeze-dried squid ...
