I love this. I have absolutely no clue what aloo tama is. Hmmm… Wikipedia had this to say –

Meet The Manufacturer – #5472: CG Wai Wai Instant Noodles Chicken Flavoured – Nepal
The last one of these I tried with this style of packaging – the veg masala – was really quite good. Let’s try some chicken!
Meet The Manufacturer – #5471: CG Wai Wai Tom Yum Shrimp Flavour Instant Noodles – Nepal
Seems like it’s been a while since I did a tom yum review. I really like tom yum, so hoping this is a great one! Let’s find out.
Meet The Manufacturer – #5470: CG Wai Wai Quick Hot & Spicy Noodles – Nepal
A couple of days ago I tries the counterpart to this one, the Xtra Spicy Dynamite variety. I think this will be about the same and less spicy but we shall see.
Meet The Manufacturer – #5467: CG Wai Wai Vegetable Masala Flavor Instant Noodles – Nepal
Here’s one I’ve seen on my desk before but it’s been awhile. This is a very popular variety. Time for some cooking! I decided after yesterday although I really like and thoroughly appreciate the bowls CG sent, I will use my own due to my lighting situation. Let’s begin!
#5463: Samyang Buldak Taco Spicy Ramen – United States
Found this at the Target next to the Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood, WA. Very curious about this as it seems ‘south of the border’ flavors keep popping up – Quattro, Habanero lime, Corn, and now the Taco. I got some garnish just for this one. Let’s cook it up!
#5457: Paldo Volcano Chicken Carbonara – United States
The video for this one came out of Christmas Day, 2025 – you can see it at the bottom. I think there’s probably a lot of you that don’t know about my show Instant Noodle Recipe Time – it’s on pretty much every single day at 9am Pacific Time (Vancouver/Los Angeles). I’ve been doing the show for years and I think a lot of YouTube don’t know about me on www.theramenrater.com. Didn’t know I’d find this one over at HMart. I tried the pack version recently… Let’s try the bowl!
#5455: Good Seoul Topokki Original – South Korea
Well, this is it. We come to the end of the line of varieties sent by Good Seoul – thanks again! They’ve been a lot of fun, especially since I really like tteokbokki. These haven’t been ramen for the most part, although a few rapokki variants, but something you’d find in the instant noodle aisle at grocery stores in yje Persian Gulf or Dubai – countries in the GCC – and soon (if not already) in Europe. Let’s finish around where we began – with their original flavor.
#5447: Nissin Top Ramen Hot Pot Fusions Japanese Garlic Tonkotsu Pork Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup – United States
The local grocery store keeps providing more stuff all the time it’s really quite interesting. Wasn’t sure of the Korean one but this should be good and last will be the Thai Curry – should I be able to find it. Months later, I still haven’t and would have truly enjoyed finding it, but to no avail everywhere I’ve looked.
#5446: Good Seoul Topokki Carbonara – South Korea
I review this in the waning days of summer. When I was young, I remember it was about now when back to school sales started – they start almost before school lets out for summer, making the gauge worthless at this point. But the long afternoon shadows herald the change coming soon. It’s August 5th, 2025. Let’s cook.
#5443: Bias Apgu Red Chili Instant Noodles – United States
Say! Here’s a new one – I was contacted by Bias about a new non-fried, Vegan friendly, and low-cal ramyun that’s supposed to be really tasty. Time to find out!
#5438: Good Seoul Rapokki Original – South Korea
Rapokki is a combo of rice cake and noodle and usually has a sweet and spicy sauce – this sounds like it’ll be a good one! Let’s have at it!
#5437: Samyang Buldak Birria Spicy Ramen Spicy Chicken Artificially Flavored – United States
I’m very excited about this one – so first off, it is looking like you can only get it from Albertson’s chain store like Safeway, Von’s, Jewel Osco, etc. Second, my son Miles spotted it in our local Safeway. He’s been really keen on doing mukbang lately and trying these variants. What’s a surprise is that he’s autistic and always been very particular about what he eats – never eating hot food, nothing squishy and chewy… That all changed – he’s actually eating this stuff – he even voiced interest in Cheetos mac and cheese. While not the most healthy stuff out there, he’s exploring new foods and that’s a big deal. Anyways, this is new and so I’m rushing it out. It should be noted that birria is primarily beef, goat, or sheep meat and the idea of chicken birria tends to be pretty unheard of in research I’ve done. Let’s go! There will be a cooking video below as well as a mukbang with Miles.
#5434: Samyang Tangle Garlic Oil Pasta – United States
This one came by way of James from Lakeside, California – thanks again! I must admit that this range seems to be pretty good stuff. Maybe this is a kind of aglio olio thing? Let’s find out.
#5432: Vifon Seafood Tom Yum Flavour – Poland
Here’s one from James of Lakeside, California – thanks! This one’s made in Vietnam for the Poland market. Let’s give it a try!
#5428: Good Seoul Rapokki Carbonara – South Korea
Time to go for another rapokki. It’s both tteokbokki and ramyun – together – with sauce. Truly a wonderful texture thing to be sure. Let’s dig in!
#5425: Good Seoul Topokki Cheese – South Korea
Previously, I tried the cheese rapokki, but here we have just the tteokbokki. I know, it isn’t ramen – however, it’s definitely something you’d find on the ramen aisle. Let’s cook it up!
#5418: MAMA Thai Connext Instant Thai Boat Noodles With Braised Pork Flavour – Thailand
Another awesome donation from James of Lakeside, California! I recently sampled the Tom Kha from this range and it was excellent. Let’s give this one a try!
#5417: Ramen-Aid Electrolyte Soup Supplement + Immune Support – United States
Okay I’m really fascinated by this. Ramen-Aid is a ramen supplement, containing vitamins and minerals. There’s this version and an energy version – with caffeine! I’m thinking the best way to review this will be to add it to a standard instant and see if it modifies the flavor. I don’t think it will.
#5415: Samyang Cream Carbonara Buldak Spicy Ramen – United States
Just over 2 years ago, I reviewed the local Korean version of this one. Found this at HMart which was a bit of a shock; their single pack selection has been abyssmal recently… I wish we had the RT Mart that was in Taiwan I got to visit – holy crap that place had the mother of all noodle aisles – singles and multipacks of everything – both sides, long as a Costco aisle – no joke. Anyways, enough thinking about that – let’s give it a try.
#5414: Good Seoul Rapokki Cheese – South Korea
So first, I did a pack like this of original topokki. Next, a carbonara cup. This is rapokki – a combo of noodle and rice cake. It’s usually a really great melding of textures. This should be awesome – let’s give it a try.
#5411: Good Seoul Carbonara Topokki – South Korea
Now this one sounds good. In the last post, I complained about all the creamy and spicy varieties out there, but this is tteokbokki and it’s hard for me to get cranky about tteokbokki. Let’s hit the start button on the microwave!
#5409: Otoki Jin Ramen Mild – United States
I’m slowly finding more of the cup, bowl, and pack versions of Jin Ramen lately – tried both of the bowls, trying this pack, and got two of the cups, so just need to find the spicy pack. Honestly. I think these are among the best of Korean ramyun. The noodles have been great, flavors as well. Let’s give it a go!
#5408: Good Seoul Topokki Original – South Korea
This is the first of a lot of tteokbokki varieties I’ll be reviewing from Good Seoul. This product is made in South Korea and at this point distributed in the GCC and soon Europe. That’s great – everyone need tteokbokki in their life I swear! This came out of a big box of varieties they sent from Dubai! Let’s give it a try!
#5407: Nongshim Premium Yukgaejang Spicy Beef Ramyun Noodle Soup – United States
Another find at GMart in Lynnwood, WA. Out of Rancho Cucamonga comes an old standard in the Korean ramyun world. I believe the classic bowl noodle hot they made was a yukgaejang but this one seems more premium at the outset. Sounds good – let’s cook it up!
#5406: Sapporo Ichiban Chow Mein – United States
Update 12/26/2025 – Now that Christmas is over, back to the standard daily posts. This was done July 7th, 2025, so that should tell you how far ahead I’ve been. I’m going to attempt to let things catch up a wee bit and work on top ten lists for you in the interim, so you should be seeing one sometime soon – I’ll come out with a post regarding them as usual before the day they post. Some regular annual lists haven’t come out as firstly, I’ve not been able to source enough varieties for a logical update and secondly, the top tens are a lot of work and honestly not always that much fun to work on – a lot of video editing and keeping from reviewing. So, since I’m nearly six months ahead, I’ll be working on them in a more mellow way instead of trying to last minute slam them out. Hope all that enjoy holidays enjoyed the previous and upcoming ones and those that don’t avoided the ridiculousness they can entail. For now, that is all. I should note my ten year old son Miles is really amped about trying Buldak. He is a very picky eater though; he won’t eat anything hot temperature wise and he doesn’t like certain textures. I can let it cool down, but I’m curious to see if he is up to the texture of it. So we shall see. I might release that for NYE. Anyways, we continue and thank you so much for your continued support of what I do!
Advent Calendar Day 24: #5591: Nissin Soba Big Yakitori Chicken – Germany
Well, here we are. It’s Christmas Eve! This has been a big shift in how I do things – 24 reviews, one per day for 24 days. Didn’t know what I was reviewing until I opened the package each morning. Usually I have lead time, but not this time. I got up, did a video of opening the door, then shooting package photos, editing, then doing what I’m doing right now – editing the post. Next will be cooking it up, then shooting more pictures, editing them, then editing the video and scheduling, posting and boom – all done. Usually, I break it over two days – edit images the day before, cook the next day and then do images for the next day after that. I guess we will see how I do it going forward. What’s certain is I’m so far ahead – like six months ahead. So, maybe doing one review per day and skipping the weekends might work well.
#5402: Nongshim Udon Premium – United States
Found this at HMart during my big early summer noodle drought of 2025… I don’t see a lot of boxed varieties, let along ones for the US. This used to be in a bowl – although maybe it still is. Anyways, sounds like a good one to try out – let’s give it a whirl!
Advent Calendar Day 21: #5590: Nissin Soba Chili Flavor – Germany
Well, I overslept… So, it’s time to get stuff done. We were up really late – the plan was to watch Stand By Me, but couldn’t find it so we ended up watching the new version of Running Man – at least part of it. Surprisingly it wasn’t bad. Anyways, enough of our exceedingly late night viewing antics – let’s try this pack version of their Chili flavor – the cup version was really great so we shall see.
Advent Calendar Day 20: #5589: Nissin Soba Classic Flavor – Germany
Well we’re almost there. It’s been a lot of fun thus far. It’s Saturday – kids are now on winter break, aka Xmas break. It’s cold out. I’m hoping tomorrow I’ll be trying out a new camera if the battery charger shows up. Guess we’d better start getting on wrapping gifts – definitely not my strong suit. However, my wife Kit is really good at it – she’s got it down cold and makes them look professional. Well, let’s get to cooking – I really liked the pack version of this so now it’s the cup.
#5399: Sapporo Ichiban x Marutai Kumamoto-Style Garlic Tonkotsu Flavor Ramen – United States
Well, this is about it as far as noodles I have on hand. What a revoltin’ development! Found this one at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. The rest of these have been excellent – let’s check it out!
Advent Calendar Day 18: #5588: Nissin Soba Chili Flavor – Germany
Wow, that stripe at the top of these posts is getting longer and longer to do every day! I have to edit it in every single post! I’m sure there’s some kind of way to automate it, but I am just doing copy paste on each one at the end of the day – easier. Anyways, this is a spicy yakisoba we have here – let’s give it a try!
#5398: MAMA Thai Connext Instant Tom Kha Noodles – Thailand
This one was kindly sent by Mark K. – thanks! I’d never seen this before and thought wow that’s rad – so he sent some! Coconut soup with herbs… Sounds really nice – let’s cook!
Advent Calendar Day 15: Nissin Demae Ramen Spicy – Germany
I started doing this big advent calendar 2 weeks ago today – pretty crazy! It’s going very well thus far it seems! Thought I’d mention – if you like following, that’s great – I have my posts going out on quite a few platforms, but a couple have barely anyone following. I’m on Substack and Bluesky – it seems people started noticing that and then poof. So, I thought I’d remind folks that if they like those, I’m there. Tumblr too for what it’s worth. Now, on with the review!
Advent Calendar Day 13: #5585: Nissin Soba Teriyaki Flavor – Germany
Well it’s Saturday and time to start the second half of the advent calendar. Today’s my daughter Mimi’s birthday party so I’ll have to get going here. This is the teriyaki Soba pack version as opposed to the cup I did prior. Let’s cook it up!
#5393: Baoji Gan Mian Pi Xiangwei Shizu Baobao Cold Noodle – China
This one was hiding in my meager hamper stash – found it at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. First off, this is a cold noodle – good for during hot weather – which we’re getting toward as the day I’m reviewing this is the last day of spring. You can steam these or microwave them – and the latter sounds like the easier option. I am making this on the last day of school for the kids. Egad. Let’s get started.
#5392: Lemonilo Ramen Chick’N Chow Mein – United States
Well, here’s the last of these they sent – thanks again! I seem to be getting to the last of a lot of things… Running low of noodles I’m afraid. Hmmm… Well, let’s cook.
#5390: Maruchan Numaru Garlic Kumamoto Tonkotsu Ramen – Japan
Here’s a variety that I found in one of MiauMall’s Nakama Noodles subscription boxes! These boxes are discontinued, however you can find their stuff at MiauMall – here is what they said about this one – “Here’s a tasty cup of ramen with a punch of flavor! This Kumamoto-style tonkotsu features a savory pork base with hints of garlic in the soup along with Kumamoto’s famous black garlic oil! And with roasted garlic chips and green onion toppings, this cup is full of flavor!”
Advent Calendar Day 9: Nissin Demae Ramen Sesame – Germany
Started a little late this morning but no harm – it’s one I did recently enough… Curious if today will bring more torrential downpour and gusty winds. Guess we shall see.
#5389: Siam Chili Pad Thai Set – Thailand
Found this one at S*Mart in Bellevue, Washington. It sounds pretty good – let’s cook it up and fund out.
