Samyang Mala Buldak Bokkeummyeon

By very little demand, WE ARE BACK! The Mala! These caught my eye from some videos on the tubefaces! 4x hot they said, hottest ever they said! No! You are wrong! These are hot - very hot - but there is no dethroning of the 2x fire noods happening today! I've got more gripes too! Our office used to have these hot water taps that ...

Samyang Kimchi Song Song Ramen (Bowl Version)

Well this is odd, Didn't I do the review for the last Song Songs? Seems odd to have me say the similar things about the same noods in different packaging! Here we go though! I prefer bowls for convenience sake, I like not having to source a bowl and just dump what I need into a pre-package and go. I'll always have a place in ...

Paldo King Cup Noodle Champong

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" ...

Samyang Kimchi Ramyun

Another treat from Samyang, I'm more a fried style noodle fan but these reviews aren't going to do themselves (hehe, "do themselves"). I'm not going to lie, when opening the packaging, I found the add-ins a little sparse. One Sachet? I want more goodies! That being said, the ...

Samyang Kimchi Song Song Ramen

The care package has arrived and we are back in business! Behind the scenes we have low key been freaking out about running out of ramen; I think we had one packet left. Moving on, let's get to the review; Samyang's Kim chi Song Song. Noodle block is HUGE! Tasty, tasty thick gauged noodles, the one flaw ...

Gong Mi Goreng Special Fried Noodles

It's a tough game in Australia's noodle market to come out with Mi Goreng, the masses will always flock to Indo Mie's variant, it's tried and true. The packaging is perhaps a little underwhelming it looks as though the marketing team kind of phoned it in. On first impression, my ...

Mamee Chef Perisa Laksa Kari Curry Laksa Flavour

Let me start by bidding farewell to Steve, if you steal our regret rating at your new job, we will find you. Let's get started, Mamee. The offerings from Malaysia have been touch and go, and these were a good example of why we are typically indifferent about Malay Ramen. The inclusions are ample, there are ...

Samyang Curry Buldak Bokkeummyeon (Bowl Version)

Samyang back. The Classic Buldak flavour meets curry flavour yet again, this time meeting in the bowl of deliciousness. I am a big fan of the curry variety of fire noods, feel free to take a look at our last stab at these in packet variety. A lot of the same compliments are extended to the bowl Variety with the convenience of ...

Mama Hot and Spicy Flavour Oriental Style Instant Noodles

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, ...

Master Kong Roasted Beef Noodle (Hot Flavor)

Master Kong; I like to envision this being conceived by Donkey Kongs father. While DK was tormenting Mario and running around collecting Bananas all Master Kong wanted was for his son to take over his Noodle business. This probably is not however the origin of the name. Firstly, a round Noodle block always steads in good favour for ...

Nissin Fried Ramen U.F.O. Spicy Curry Flavor Mi Instan Rasa Kari Pedas

Nissin, your UFO ramen are a revelation. From the nood block being most tasty to the abundance of seasoning/sauce Sachets the only subpar contribution of your UFO series is the shitty fork you provide, it's terrible. Everything else though, top notch. I write this, ...

Nissin Cup Noodles Black Pepper Crab Flavour

I think I have been eating shitty seafood flavoured things for a long time. I'm finding the seafood flavoured ramen haven't been as bad as anticipated. I appreciate the cup noodle's. I like that it's the perfect work lunch, everything's already in there, just add water. The flakes of (what I hope is) actual crab is a nice touch. I'm not big ...

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 ...

Nissin Fried Ramen U.F.O. Spicy Mayo Mi Instan Rasa Saus Jepang

Spicy mayo flavour? As a white boy I am so excited about the idea of mayo. The tech thrown into the packaging is fantastic. Dehydrated veg with the noodles so they hydrate with the noods, a generous serving of sachets, this ticks all the boxes. Lets talk about the draining system on the bowl, I think so many ...

Paldo Hwa Ramyun Hot and Spicy Noodle Soup

Well, This sucked. Only because I had a wisdom tooth out over the weekend. These had just enough spice to make my open mouth cavity a stinging throbbing mess. I could feel my mouth becoming progressively more inflamed throughout the afternoon. This was a nightmare. It was tasty, I enjoyed the crap out of these noods. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Mi ABC Selera Pedas Mi Instan Goreng Rasa Ayam Pedas Limau (Hot Chicken Lemon Flavour)

Mi ABC, what can I say? You knocked it out of the park. Plentiful bits in bags, fantastic flavour. I would gladly eat these several times over. Your usual mi goreng style nood block, tried and true. I feel maybe a little more heat brought to the table would make this the perfect ramen. Pack galore! Heat was there, dont get me wrong. ...

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 ...

iMee Creamy Tom Yum Shrimp Flavour Instant Noodles

Decent noodles? Well, the bar has been set albeit, not very high. Noodle block, What is with Thailand and this nood style? It's brittle and it just kind of doesn't hold the flavour as well as I would like. Pretty small block, lots of seasoning I would like to add that Kam is an idiot. The packaging shows ...
