Back in 2017 when the world was young (before I started Instant Noodle Recipe Time), this one graced my desk with its packaging exclaiming ‘more shrimptacular.’ The packaging has changed a bit and I got this one as part of a media kit espousing the virtue of their new Cup Noodles Fish Head Curry (which were quite good, I might add). Nissin Singapore has sent some really quite amazing and well thought out media kits as of late – can’t wait for more of them! Let’s give this new packaging cup a try.
#4602: Daebak Ghost Pepper Cheese Spicy Chicken Flavour – Malaysia
This is it – the last of the great varieties that were sent by Mamee-Doubledecker. Thank you so much – it’s really been an amazing journey of flavor and new varieties! This is the cup version of the ghost pepper cheese. I previously did the pack version which was a real tough go. This one looks to be just a smaller version. They both have a sachet of ghost pepper oil – I think it works pretty darn well. Let’s do another mukbang!
Nissin Singapore Celebrates 25 Years Of Cup Noodles In SG!
Happy birthday to Nissin Cup Noodles! They originally debuted in 1971, however they started coming out in Singapore 25 years ago! Check out all their varieties!
An Unannounced Box From James Of Lakeside, California!
From time to time, James sends me a box of noodles and he usually shoots an email – if he did this time I didn’t see it. This is a neat box of things I’ve not tried! Thank you very much!
Meet Mee Sends New & Improved Chili Pan Mee
In the mood for something exotic and a little different? I had this one a little while back – and then they made it even better! This is a really great variety from the folks at Meet Mee that’s done pretty well over in Malaysia! Let’s check out what they sent!
His Grace The Rev. Dick Gazinya Sends British Things
Over the years, I’ve met a great many people doing what I do, but none quite like my frien, His Grace the Rev. Dick Gazinya. He’s traveled the globe, seen the ravages of humanity as well as it’s triumphs, and built an empire on Tharg IV with aplomb and Daesenex rivers, healing the inheritors of the greatest ramen in the world. Indeed, Agent 45561A was comissioned by Weyland-Utani for maximum paradigms. May the Black Cardamom enthuse! Watch and see what was sent herein.
#4601: Indomie Hype Abis Mi Kuah Rasa Seblak Hot Jeletot – Indonesia
To begin, thanks to Pher Engi for sending this along with so many untried Indonesian varieties! Seblak Hot Jeletot. I searched and almost immediately found a site familiar to me – minime insights. This guy does market analysis on food trends and new things – he’s mentioned me in the past and I’ve check out his site quite a bit to find out about different products. In his post, he answers a lot of my questions, and leaves me with a little dilemma. First, this is a trending flavor. Second, jeletot turns out to be a Sundanese word (great now I have to figure out that Sundanese is) which means so hot your eyes pop out!
#4600: Kung Fu Noodles Premium Braised Beef Noodle Soup – Taiwan
While I tried this in May of 2022, I heard through the grapevine that there may be some changes to this one so I thought hey – I like beef noodle – can’t hurt to give it another try. Nothing better than Taiwanese beef noodle, that’s for sure. Let’s check out this premium boxed variety.
#4599: Jiwa Pagi Mi Instan Mie Goreng – Indonesia
Another one sent by Pher Engi – thanks again! This is the second of three varieties she sent in the Jiwa Pagi range by Kobe of Indonesia. The noodles are infused with carrot and green bean which is interesting. The last one had a nice flavor to it – let’s check this one out!
#4598: Raindrops Gummy Noodles Soft Candy Mix – United States
Here’s something I found at a Party City store while we were getting stuff for our daughter Mimi’s birthday. Says it’s made in The Netherlands which I think is interesting – I don’t know why, but I do. This looks pretty weird so let’s just get started.
#4597: Super Bubur Rasa Ayam – Indonesia
Here’s yet another Indonesian variety sent by Pher Engi – thanks again! Okay, so this isn’t ramen, or a noodle. It’s porridge – rice porridge to be exact. I’ve reviewed quite a few porridges, but never one from Indonesia. This looks crazy – lots of sachets! Let’s check it out!
#4596: Red Chef Sesame Clear Soup Noodles – Malaysia
Of all the Red Chef varieties, this one I understand the least. I like to revisit it again once in a while as it’s something I just don’t quite understand. That’s most certainly not the product’s fault . So that being said, I walk towards it again in hopes a new sampling will bring me closer to understanding it. Let’s give it a try!
#4595: Burung Layang Terbang Mie Goreng Rasa Sambal Terasi – Indonesia
Thanks again to Pher Engi for this crazy train of neat Indonesian varieties, of which I’ve barely scraped the surface! This is a shrimp paste flavored mi goreng – and it’s not like anything I’ve seen thus far in my reviewing – look at everything in this thing! Let’s get cooking!
#4594: Nissin no Assari Odashi ga Oishii Donbei Kizami Age Udon – Japan

#4593: Red Chef Green Tom Yum Soup Noodles – Malaysia
Haven’t has this in a while, and since they often change recipes and tweak them to bring customers better experiences with their products, I figure they’re due for another try. This one’s been on my top ten global list for a few years now. I also like to make sure these varieties should still hold their spots. My guess is this is still going to be good. Let’s give it a try!
#4592: Kobe Jiwa Pagi Mi Instan Rasa Soto Segeer – Indonesia
First and foremost, thanks to Pher Engi for sending this over! Soto segeer means ‘fresh soto.’ I did a little research and found that Jiwa Pagi means ‘morning soul.’ These noodles contain carrot and green beans – also no MSG here. These are healthy variety. Sounds interesting – this also the same company (Kobe) that makes the BonCabe instant noodles and seasonings. Oh, you might not know what soto is to begin with – Wikipedia, if you please…

#4590: Daebak Habanero Kimchi Jjigae Flavour – Malaysia
You may have heard of budae jjigae, which features assorted meats. This is a kimchi jjigae, which has kimchi at the forefront. Of the extra spicy varieties of this range, this is the only soupy variety, also the only one not having chicken at the forefront. Well, I do have some chicken, so it will make an appearance in here. Let’s cook it up!
Wei Lih Jah Jan Mien 維力 炸醬麵 Bread Recipe!!! Taiwan #1!!!
A couple days ago, I was speaking to my son Andy about cooking and brought up bread machines and the joys of making bread; how crafting a loaf of bread using basic ingredients is a lot of fun. Well, I hadn’t done so in quite a while, so I figured I’d go ahead and do it, and what better ramen bread to make but something Taiwanese?
