Its funny; the packaging are close to the same size and they are both things I really enjoy a lot.
So this morning, I had an interview on KWLE ‘The Whale’ from Anacortes, Washington! It was a lot of fun and I’d like to thank Glen and everyone at KWLE for doing the interview! Here’s a video of the studio cam and the interview!
Look at that – wow! I haven’t ever seen most of these for sale in the stores I have been to and I have been to quite a few as you can well imagine. My sister has brought these to the home plate and so everyone should say thanks to her!
So when I’m not eating instant noodles, I eat other things. Here’s one of them. A can of Progresso Light Chicken Noodles soup with some dehydrated onion and a spoonful of Mae Ploy yellow curry and a few dozen grains of rice in there. Pretty awesome stuff.
Yep! The Ramen Rater Top Ten List is here! Check it out by clicking here!
So my old Indomie Meatball flavor box just didn’t cut it, so my beloved brought me a new one!
So yeah look at that insane assortment of noodles – it’s really quite insane. My lovely Kit was so kind as to give me the gift of oriental flava today! First we went to Sun Ya in Seattle – a Chinese restaurant that has dim sum for lunch. Then to Uwajimaya where I got a ton of noodles! The we checked out a place called Viet Wah – that was awesome and yes, more noodles. Then to Seafood City and yes…. MORE NOODLES! Finally after coming back and relaxing for a bit, we decided on homemade Korean BBQ for dinner. Got the stuff at 99 Ranch Market and yup – got another noodle cup! In all, there’s 65 unique varieties here that will be reviewed on Ramen Rater! So Enjoy!
The Ramen Rater would like to send its sympathies to all affected by the catastrophic 8.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan. So much of what goes on on The Ramen Rater is related to Japan and we hope that Japan bounces back swiftly and smoothly.
Yesterday we went to HT Oaktree market. Got a ton of new noodles to review! Gaze upon the massiveness!
Hey – The Ramen Rater got in the news! Thanks go out to myEdmondsNews.com! Check it out here!
So today I reviewed the 300th unique ramen / instant noodle pack of this weird and fun hobby of mine. There’s been a lot of different things I’ve found enjoyable about this hobby: learning about different cultures, talking with people from around the world, and, most importantly, getting to eat some cheap and sometimes extremely good food.
So all you need to do is add boiling water to your noodles and hit play on this video. About 3 minutes later, you will have piping hot and perfectly cooked Cup Noodles!
So here’s a video with pretty much all the photos I’ve taken of noodles and where they come from. Strange, I know, but enjoy!
So I have a box and it stores the noodles that I review. it originally contained meat ball noodles but most of all sorts of different kinds that are gonna b reviewed sooner or later.
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
So if anyone would like to go to Indonesia for me and bring some of this stuff back, I would be really appreciative. SuperMi? It’s gotta be some wonderful stuff, I reckon…
So what’s such a big deal about this? Well, I originally did about 52 reviews to start up this website a few years ago and didn’t do much with it after that. I started reviewing hot sauces and that completely took up all my review time. But now with instant noodles so near constantly, the ramen’s called me back and it’s been a lot of fun lately! So 100 reviews since June 20th – that’s almost one a day! Insanity. Not only that, there seems to be no end in sight!
So we’ve been looking at many different little and big groceries around here. It is always fun to find a new one, but I think we’ve scoured the area and gotten to them all. So here’s a couple interesting things to look at. First…
So here’s what I currently have to review – 20 different packages. I am pretty sure there should be lots more out there to pick up no problem. I still go out on my daily trips to the local asian groceries. I try to only get a single pack of noodles but it can be hard as they’re so cheap. With the advent of the city of Edmonds’ no single use plastic bag law, I had to dig out my backpack to carry things in. Irritating…
Check it out – I thought it was pretty neat to get mentioned as a website to do research! Here’s the link.
So here’s some interesting ones I picked up at the Bellevue Uwajimaya today. I usually walk to 99 Ranch to get a different package of noodles every day, but these are all ones that they don’t have there. Some unique stuff here! I imagine I’ll get down to the Uwajimaya in Seattle and end up with some more unique stuff there .
Decided to do a new piece of art today and set up a little Ramen Rater testing station kind of thing! Got some more things to add to it, but here it is for right now…
So I’ve gotten all the reviews from the old website on here now – took a bit of time, but it was well worth it as they’re searchable via the blog search on the right. I’ve also implemented a Google Custom Search tool at the right. Everything you put in there will come up with results pertaining to instant ramen noodles – so if you’re looking for somewhere to buy em’, this tool is great. Also excellent for researching information on different noodle companies too.
I shall put up some recipes and shots of my ramen escapades as they happen. Here’s a commercial for some of my favorite noodles! Happy 4th of July!
– The Ramen Rater
I’m a big fan of instant noodles – such a big fan that I started www.ramenrater.com to review different varieties. Of all things ramen, I’ve come up with this homemade noodle recipe, taking ingredients from all over the far east and orient.
So first a bit about one of my favorites and one of my nemeses. First, Indomie Jumbo BBQ Chicken instant noodles. This stuff is a perfect example of well thought out noodles, in that they have a few packets in there for more preparation fun, and there’s a lot of noodles. These are of the five star ilk, but I have but one complaint about them: unless you eat them quickly, after you cook ’em, they dry out and get frumpy and obstinate on the fork.
