Here we go, the brightly coloured packet is making me feel like this is going to be nothing! lets hope they prove me wrong and burn on the way down and the way out ;) A massive block, it was actually so annoying having this block so big as our bowls were just too small and meant we would have to ...
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" ...
Here we go yet again with the staple Samyang death sauce, it gives this dish a hearty blood red colour; as if its a warning that you are about to spit out blood because its going to burn your insides out. I digress from the story; this was as always a ripper of a meal. It filled me up to the point I had to stop ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
No one does spices like Mama. These are always fun to review due to the sheer number of spices/tastes their noods contain. Un-packaging these bad boys shows a super small noodle block and two sachets, one with a blend ...
Can never expect too much from cup noodles right? Wrong! These were delicious! Opened up the cup and expected the usual sachets, the chilli powder / dehydrated vege was already present in the packet. Noods looked curly and thin, I was intrigued. ...
More of a snack than a meal, these pack a lot of flavour in a small package that's what she said for the ramenite who is chasing a light(er) lunch, all in the convenience of a cup shaped......cup. Although the great flavour should have been unsurprising, these are brought to you by the makers of Shin Ramyun. So the dish is a ...
So here's another nood I found in my pantry; I don't know where they came from and I only have the one packet so I'm going to have to go solo with this review because I don't like my chances of finding more of these. Sorry boys. Interesting noods The block was interesting; flat noods! We also have three sachets; sweet soy sauce, ...
This nood gives a great first impression upon opening the packet; 3 packets of flavour and a good-sized noodcake in a large bowl. Mixing is simple; dump everything in and add hot water! The noodles cook really quickly so you're off to a flying start. All good things come in threes The ...
This dish evokes some great memories of eating tinned spaghetti, it just tastes like burnies as well. As soon as I opened the sauce packet for this, I was hit with the familiar pungent scent of some hot,hot sauce. Dark memories of the 2x noodles filled me, and I was filled with an almost instinctual level ...
I didn't believe these were real; I couldn't find anything about them online except for some instagram posts from Samyang Foods' official feed (big thanks to Hans over at theramenrater.com for giving me the heads up on these). I didn't even believe they were real when I stumbled across them being sold ...
More great tasting offerings from the Thai company YumYum! The overall flavour for this dish was seafood, but not seafood. You could taste a hint of shrimp, a tiny bit of seaweed, and there were some actual chilli seeds in here. This definitely contributed to the heat - a fiery little nood that saved the main ...
The smell of seafood on this one was quite pungent; it brought back memories of those boring as hell fishing trips I went on as a kid (I hate fishing). I immediately started to think I may regret todays ramen option. Sufficient block; acceptable. The nood block was sufficient; hefty serving, a smaller gauge ...
Dundun.....dundun..........dundundundundundun *violin screech* 'Sometimes that noodle, he looks right into ya, right into your eyes. Y’know, the thing about a spicy noodle, he’s got lifeless sauce, black sauce, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he softens up, and that noodle cake rolls ...
