Ottogi Jin Ramen Mild

I'm going to start this out with saying this is good; good when it comes to taste. If we came to the decision that these were delicious, I would not have argued too harshly. I think this will be my staple base when adding bits and bobs to my at home ramen dishes. The nood block is plentiful, nice and ...

Paldo Rabokki Noodle Stir Fried Noodle with Korean Hot and Spicy Soup Base

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 ...

Indo Mie Rasa Kari Ayam Chicken Curry Flavour

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 ...

Ve Wong Fried Noodles with Mexican Chilli Flavor (And “Pork Composite Materials”)

I suppose Mexico and Taiwan have a bit in common - both having large neighbours that are kind of dicks to them. So having a fusion dish kind of makes sense, but the execution definitely needs some polish. All the right ingredients are there: black bean, spices, chilli, pork composite materials(?) for the Mexican taste, ...

Nongshim Kimchi Ramyun Noodle Soup

I'm a pretty big fan of cabbage when it's no longer cabbage, Kraut, Coleslaw, Kim chi. It's a tale as old as time, underwhelming vegetable picked on in highschool grows up to be a big deal: the classic underdog story. I was eying these off for quite a while and could hardly contain my excitement when the ...

Samyang Sogokimyun Noodle Soup

Hannibal the Cownibal strikes! This was quite a tasty dish, if a bit light on chunks of goodness. This nood goes back to tried and true ramen basics:  a hearty beef broth with a bit of peppery spice to round out the flavour. But I do feel the dish was a little too basic, it really struggles to stand out from a crowd ...

Wingsfood Mie Sedaap Instant Rasa Sambal Goreng

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 ...

Vedan Jhen Mian Tang Spicy Hot Noodles

This was a fantastic noodle cake, something different to mix up the reviews; It reminded me of the casings to Dim Sims, Nice. The approval kind of ended there; flavour was not really present, no bits of garnish to add, nothing! Just a little oily satchel with minimal flavour. ...

Mi ABC Selera Pedas Rasa Gulai Ayam Pedas

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 ...

Yum Yum Tom Yum Kung Creamy Flavour

At first I thought I'd f**ked the cooking of this ramen, the packet is.... esoteric in its instructions, and light on friendly pictures for the silly farang. Preparing this is a bit nerve wracking, as the flavour sachets do not appear to be mixing well with the water so you could be excused for thinking this is a 'dry' noodle. However further perusal ...

Nissin Tom Yam Mee Goreng Flavour

I'm a big fan of Mee Goreng, It's reminiscent of my year abroad and broke. It reminds me of a simpler time, back when bills were minimal, debts didn't exist yet and smoking in pubs was still legal. My cohorts are already quite mad as I had to eat mine a day later than them, so this review is late and it's all ...

Nongshim Chal Bibim Myun

Ooooweeee I was excited for these noodles. i had been eyeing off our table thinking to myself, this is going to be great. When the time came to cook, Kam informed me that they are to be served cold, that's when things got weird. There was no perforation where the arrow was pointing; so we ignored the instructions and opened from the top ...

Ibumie Penang White Curry Mee

Much like the Nazi ideology, this 'white' curry is all show and little substance. From the massive size of the flavour sachets, I was expecting much from this curry - bold flavours, lots of heat, massive regret. In reality there wasn't much to this. While still an adequately tasty broth, it certainly lacked ...

Maggi Fusian Mi Goreng Hot & Spicy

Not completely shit. That is about the best way I can describe this noodle. While the sesame oil gives this dish a nice mouthfeel, the taste is lacking, there are no vegetable chunks, and even with the visible and plentiful 'chilli flakes' I've seen spicier PG-13 sex scenes. Before it's mixed; look I can see chilli! Good for the spice-shy if ...

#RAMENLABS – Mama Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavour x Paldo Seafood Noodle Soup

Mama Shrimp Creamy Tom Yum Flavour

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 ...
