Another big meaty bowl I lugged back from Taiwan in November 2017. A reader on the Facebook page for The Ramen Rater requested I pick this one up and I found it I believe at FamilyMart.

This is a pretty heavy bowl – as it contains a retort pouch. A retort pouch is a kind of metallic pouch that contains meat and sauce or vegetables or fish – basically a pouch that allows such things to stay inside at room temperature for long periods of time – kind of like a can. Let’s crack open this beast and look inside and see what we have here.

Real chunks of beef and sauce.

Finished (click to enlarge). Added hard boiled egg, Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, and spring onion. The noodles were of alright quality. The broth was just not doing it for me. The meat in the retort pouch – that was awesome – I wish the broth had more of that flavor to be honest – it was the star of the show. If it had, perhaps the noodle would’ve taken on some of the braised beef lovin’. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars.  EAN bar code 4710199013298.
