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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
