So my better half just got back from a trip to her home country of Indonesia; this time she remembered to bring back some tasty noods for us to review! Problem is, she only brought two of each instead of three. Ruh-roh! It's OK though; Josh and I will tackle these international goodies! So this one I have no idea how she got across; ...
Holy moly; a red packet! This has gotta be spicy right? We have been churning through many a pack that claims spice, but much like a newspaper escort what we get at the door is not what was advertised (I wouldn't know, I've just heard). Maybe this will change today! Not a lick of English on the packaging; these are ...
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 ...
So I picked these up from a specialty candy store in Yogyakarta called "Snacklicious"; the place had a whole bunch of candy and snacks imported from various Asian countries. This was one of the many I brought back. Round...it fits in a bowl So we are all aware of Paldo, the Korean noodle company; however what surprised me is Paldo, ...
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 ...
So these puppies first came to my attention when Hans over at the Ramen Rater showed me a photo of them; looks a lot like something else we have seen doesn't it? Isn't there something called Intellectual Property? This looks like such a clear stab at imitating Samyang's prize cow that it's insulting. That being said; we are always ...
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, ...
So these had been sitting on our review desk a while; I like the bright orange packaging and unoriginal name. "Samyang Ramen, Spicy Flavour"; good work. Says what it does on the pack. So let's eat these! Standard Standard square block -hefty noodle size as is expected - and a packet of roughage and soup base. Bits ...
So we have another guest reviewer today because our good friend Steve decided to go diving today instead of coming to work; Good Game Steve. Mat has been sitting near us for about a month now and has seen us consume many a nood; today is his turn to contribute. So Josh picked these up at Spudshed; it's just what it sounds like. ...
So this is one I grabbed at a nearby Asian grocer; I can't read a thing on the packet but it had a photo of some chilies so we knew this would be right up our alley. So Bún bò Huế is apparently a popular Vietnamese soup with vermicelli and beef; now we know what it is let's dive in. Packets galore Look at all ...
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 ...
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 ...
I was super excited for this; I am one to judge books by their cover and the packaging for this really spoke to me. Glad the fates decided this was today's ramen. Acceptable Nood Block So pretty decent block; it's square (which we hate) but the portion and girth are acceptible. They hydrate very well (as ...
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 ...
