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 ...
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 ...
Oh boy; the little brother of emart's Habanero Ramen! We loved the Habanero Ramen; the flavour was amazing but it was just so damn hot! I was hoping that this may be the kid bro version so that my delicate mouth could rest easier today; all the taste, less heat. Let's find out! This block is satisfactory; I am pleased ...
Oh boy oh boy oh boy; this was another hard-to-come-by ramen that had been on our radar for a while! Luckily a workmate - who was busy looking for ramen to replace ones he stole from our review-desk (horrible, horrible man) - spotted these babies at a nearby Korean deli and told me where to find it! Funny that; if he hadn't have been ...
Smells like...seafood...again You know, something I've learned these past few weeks is not to disregard a ramen just because it wreaks of seafood. I love seafood; but when that smell is coming from a packet of noodles you kind of get a bit put off. Can't explain it. That being said these ...
I was excited for today; I knew it was the day we would be finally reviewing Shin Ramyun! It's definitely one of my all time favourites and one I pretty much always have around the house, just in case (just in case I want a FLAVOUR EXPLOSION IN MY MOUTH...pause). I had already started eating; sorry. They are just so good! ...
I was excited for these ones; who doesn't love Miso Soup? And I definitely love Ramen. So this seemed like a winning combination! A nice hefty block of thin noodles The noodles only came with one sachet; that was a little disappointing. Where is the roughage? Don't I need some seaweed in my Miso ...
Holy Shit-balls these are good! Like...damn...I dig these. The noodles are the perfect thickness (of course, it's Samyang, what did I expect?), the broth is a wonderful deep rusty red, there is a hearty beef taste with a good deal of kick to it, and the vegetable sachet is completely appropriate; loads of spring onion! ...
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 wasn't entirely convinced before opening these up; I always judge a book by its cover and the shiny tinfoil coupled with unoriginal name with questionable word order (Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavour?? Come on guys) had my expectations set very low for these noodles. It also comes with no vegetable sachet (no roughage ...
I was excited to review these; Nongshims regular Shin Ramyun is a staple in my household so the Black was definitely on my Radar. This is another broth-based ramen; unlike our previous reviews (where the broth was a deep red semi-translucent color that seemed to signify the colour that your stool is ...
Because this was a broth noodle; eating this wasn't so bad. The heat being in the broth means that you really don't sustain much damage to your mouth while eating; after a few mouthfuls there's a bit of a tingle in your lips but you can work through it with relative ease. As you near completion of the ...
