#5542: Smart Way Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup – United States

#5542: Smart Way Beef Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup - United States

Okay, this is a big deal I think. I know – it looks very generic; very plain. But this isn’t what Ii see. This is a product of Brazil. It’s a Kroger store brand. Who is making this for them? I’ve no idea. I look at the big players in the Brazilian instant noodle market and mainly see a lot of Nissin Miojo stuff. However, the noodle and sachet style doesn’t lean me in that direction. A six pack – and it’s cheap – I think it was $4 for 2 of these – so I got both this and the chicken yesterday.  I’ve also noticed that on the directions, it’s referring this noodle as pasta. Pasta? Hmm. ...see full post

‘A “Smoko character” is a character from Smoko, an LA-based company that sells cute and whimsical products, such as plush toys and office supplies. The name “Smoko” itself is Australian slang for a short break from work. The company’s characters are based on food, animals, and other adorable concepts, with popular characters including Tayto Potato, Pearl Boba, and Lil B Dumpling’ ...see full post

#5437: Samyang Buldak Birria Spicy Ramen Spicy Chicken Artificially Flavored – United States

#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. ...see full post

#5423: Nissin Top Ramen Picante Beef Flavor - United States

A big thank you to Aimee J. for sending this one! This is the first time I’ve gotten a Nissin product for the corrections industry. This is prison ramen. The packaging is clear in order to make it difficult to hide things. I’ve never had a reason to hide things in a pack of noodles so I find that fascinating. I wonder what other flavors there are out there? Would like to review them all, so if you’ve got any, please contact me! Well, let’s give it a try! ...see full post

Advent Calendar Day 12 Nissin Cup Noodles Beef Aromatic Spicy Soup – Germany

Ah its a day for beef. I went to the grocery store to get some. I got my second shingles vax yesterday and today feel like death warmed over. Anyways, I tell the guy at the meat counter I need 1oz of their cheapest ground beef. He tried to give me 0.4lbs which is way too much, then a much smaller amount that was perfect, but when he tried to weigh it it wouldn’t register so he said it was on the house. So shout out to butcher at our local Safeway. But yeah I feel worse than crummy. Let’s see if I can cook a Cup Noodles this morning… ...see full post

#5573: Nongshin Shin Ramyun K-Pop Demon Hunter Edition - United States

Okay, so I don’t live under a rock so I know about these things. In fact, I saw an advert for this awhile back and thought ‘oh – the kids might like this.’ So, I let them check it out and I watched a bit of the movie. I hated it. More than I hate slicing a bagel incorrectly. Well, maybe not that much, but I’m really annoyed by this film. I know that a lot of people really like it and that’s fine. However, I do not. It’s K-Pop’s version of Frozen. I went through that Frozen crap when the kids were really little, so another take on it really isn’t something I can embrace. Plus, the animation is awful. The music is catchy, but not the catchy K-Pop I really like; this is so… Commercial. But I do enjoy a tie-in product and this one’s pretty cool. I should mention that the Korean local version of this (yes, this is made in the United States in a great factory in Rancho Cucamonga, California) came with stickers, and I did hear chatter that people over there were buying tons of Shin, taking out the stickers, then selling sets of those stickers on eBay or their equivalent. ...see full post

This bowl features yakisoba noodles in a sweet n’ spicy gyudon-inspired sauce and a 3-cheese mayo made with edam, parmesan and romano cheese. This bowl is packed with flavor that you’ll love!” ...see full post
