Ina Pan Mee Goreng Perisa Kari Dried Curry Flavour

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, ...

Samyang Ramen Spicy Flavour Noodle Soup

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 ...

JML (JinMaiLang) Emperor Big Bowl Spicy Chicken

This nood gives a great first impression upon opening the packet; 3 packets of flavour and a good-sized noodcake in a large bowl. Mixing is simple; dump everything in and add hot water! The noodles cook really quickly so you're off to a flying start. All good things come in threes The ...

Nongshim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Chicken Flavor

Another Bowl noodle? Okay sure. Opening up the pack, dehydrated veggies already added; is that a mushroom? NICE! Nood block looks a little lacking, but I guess we'll see after the cook. Oooh. Look at those bitties! I like the smell, it smells delicious. Upon first mouthful, I felt lost; it was just average. Unbelievably ...

JML (JinMaiLang) Emperor Spicy Pork Bowl Noodle

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. ...

Nissin Gekikara Ramen Rasa Pedas

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 ...

Samyang Hot Yukgaejang Noodle Soup

Well, finally I get a platform to vent my distaste in spicy food!! How exciting; let's get started then. The noodle size could have been a bit bigger for my liking; that being said, if you’re not one looking to have the top button rip off your pants then this is a great size for you! Standard ...

Tseng Noodles Spicy Sichuan Pepper Flavor

Premium packaging often leads to underwhelming noods. Gladly, this wasn't the case, the ribbon noodles were fantastic, the premium packaging it appears carried through to its contents. Oooh we have a fancy-pants right here! I was a little disappointed with the lack of roughage but the flavours I ...

Acecook Hang Nga Bun Bo Hue

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 ...

Maggi Perencah Kari Mi Segera

It came, it glorped, it disappointed. Ahh Maggi, I fucking hate you. The noodles seem to taste how poverty feels - listless and uneducated, if you had it every day you would be filled with a depression that blots out everything good, and drives you to drink to escape your own life. The block is an  uninspiring, lumpy, ...

Sichuan Baijia Chongqing Noodles Spicy Hot Flavor

So I'm an idiot, I haven't got the ramen table memorized so good and bought this pack twice. I thought it had a great, almost premium, packaging; perhaps it was a great decision. So we opened the packaging the day before to see what we were in for; ribbon noods, NICE! I had to consume mine a little later than my ...

Lucky Me Instant Pancit Canton Hot Chili Flavour

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 ...

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 thick, ...

Paldo Bolkeino Kkokko Bokkeummyeon (Volcano Chicken Fried Noodles)

This dish evokes some great memories of eating tinned spaghetti, it just tastes like burnies as well. As soon as I opened the sauce packet for this, I was hit with the familiar pungent scent of some hot,hot sauce. Dark memories of the 2x noodles filled me, and I was filled with an almost instinctual level of ...

#RAMENLABS – Cheese Buldak Bokkeummyeon x Some Chilli

Samyang 2x Spicy Haek Buldak Bokkeummyeon (2x Spicy Nuclear Hot Chicken Flavour)

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 ...

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 ...

Yum Yum Thai Spicy Seafood Flavour

More great tasting offerings from the Thai company YumYum! The overall flavour for this dish was seafood, but not seafood. You could taste a hint of shrimp, a tiny bit of seaweed, and there were some actual chilli seeds in here. This definitely contributed to the heat - a fiery little nood that saved the main ...
