Paul here - long term reader, first time writer. With fear and trepidation I accepted the challenge of joining the crew of noodle review. To make things more exciting, I do have some digestive challenges so its hit or miss whether or not I'll survive the morning after. I really don't know whether I'll be back for a second review... ...
So there are many things I like about living so close, and getting the chance to go, to Indonesia; the scenery, the people, the culture...and of course, the Mi Goreng. I just got back from Central Java yesterday after attending a cousins wedding and I brought back some stowaways! Two new Mi Goreng varieties! We all ...
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 ...
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 ...
Well well well; we made it! We finally got to 100 reviews; you thought it would never happen, heck I thought it would never happen. Shoot, I thought the first 100 we would get to was "It took Steve 100 days to finish his review"; but nope, 100 reviews. And what better way to celebrate than to review the classic Indonesian ...
Here we go topping out at 99 of our ramen; we finally start coming to a more standard packet of noods! This nood looks exactly the same as the Indomie Mi Goreng, even has the exact same packets of soy! But can this be different? Let's find out. Pretty standard block nothing special here Kam kinda did some wacky thing with the contents of ...
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, ...
Aww yisss, rendang and ramen together at last! This delicious combination is brought to you by that old favourite of students everywhere - Indomie, and it certainly lives up to the high-but-not-inaccessibly-bourgeoisie-high bar that they set themselves. The same great nood cake of Indomie standard mixes well with the rendang sauce ...
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 ...
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 ...
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; ...
All this Mi Goreng stuff is making me miss the good old classic that we know of and love; gonna be honest not a huge fan of this one; doesn't have the same 5 packets that I've become accustomed too! Only 4 packets? Ye Olde standard nood block size that we all know as the industry norm; The overall look of these ...
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. ...
As you can tell I came in to this review with the satisfaction of being the king of the originals; I would destroy 2 packets and still have room for a 3rd. As you can see the nood block is the same as the classic, only there is different seasoning with this one. Eating the noodles ...
I must say I looked at these noods in the packaging and i wasn't thinking there was gonna be much heat behind these bad boys, and... Well I was a bit surprised by how much heat was put out by them! The noods were way to thin for my liking, I found they weren't sucking up all of the flavoring. Doesn't ...
Had a great time tasting and reviewing previously so had to come back for more Ramen review action. Not a bad little package here, Nissin delivering a very pleasant culinary experience. Standard sized block, I tend to prefer these with broth noodles. Standard block; nice roughage Taste was ...
the Wheel has spoken and it appeared Indomie was on the menu again. This of course being the Indonesian import version of the Hot and Spicy Mi Goreng. Noodle block was free of surprises; just your stock standard block. The 3 compartment sauce and seasoning combo with the sweet soy, chilli oil and dried onion was present, a seasoning and chilli powder ...
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 ...
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 ...
Well, right out of the gate, I screwed the pooch on this one by absent mindedly throwing Kam's fried onions in the bin, he may never forgive me. I had to sacrifice my noods with the fried onions for my incompetence and eat his without the fried goodies. Seems to be the standard Indonesian noodle block ...
