#4372: You Us GS Retail Omori Kimchi Stew Ramyun – United States

#4372: You Us GS Retail Omori Kimchi Stew Ramyun - United States

Okay so this is made in Korea but made for sale in the US market. This one’s made by Paldo and I think the ‘GS’ in the GS Retail mention on the logo has to do with GS Mart, a chain in South Korea. I’m looking forward to a nice kimchi bowl – we shall see! ...see full post

#4359: Nu Rea Red Kimchi Udon - South Korea

Another one from S-Mart. There’s a different one which is Black Kimchi flavor – Should be about the same is my guess but red. I remember the black one was a little sweet – maybe this one’s more spicy? Guess only one way to find out. ...see full post

#4353: Ottogi Buckwheat Chilli Noodle – United States

#4353: Ottogi Buckwheat Chilli Noodle - United States

Here’s one made in South Korea and packaged for the Us market. This is a spicy and sweet cold noodle, perfect for summer months. As I write this, it’s just turned to August. We just had a week of temps above 90 degrees – very hot for the Seattle area – record breaking actually. Today it’s much cooler which is a relief. First day in quite a while since I remember the air conditioning being turned off. ...see full post

#4350: Paldo Bibim Tteokbokki – South Korea

#4350: Paldo Bibim Tteokbokki - South Korea

This comes by way of BNB Global – thanks! So Bibim Men is a cold noodle dish – you cook and drain the noodle, rinse with cold water and then add the sauce. This is a variety of tteokbokki, rice cake tubes which are soft and thoroughly enjoyable. This uses the same type of sauce as in the cold noodle, however it’s hot. I don’t think chilling tteokbokki would work so well – probably would make them tough. Regardless, this sounds interesting and I’m very interested. Let’s give it a try! ...see full post

Okay so first off, a big thanks to A-Sha for sending one of these! Second off, this is a very premium box. Within are noodles, sauce/seasonings, and then some very fancy extras. This box retails for $199. Yeah – that’s a lot. I often tell people when they’re sick there’s nothing better than noodles. Well, that’s maybe if you have influenza.

#4324: Simply Asia Spicy Mongolian Noodle Bowl – United States

#4324: Simply Asia Spicy Mongolian Noodle Bowl - United States

The last two days of reviewing have been particularly grueling. The kitchen has been pretty warm even before boiling any water; super humid. Not used to it and it’s really quite uncomfortable. But I will continue on of course. Well, the last one of these I tried was really quite odd and so having gotten three varieties in all, I thought I should trudge onward and do the other two. I’m really quite curious what a spicy Mongolian bowl will taste like. Only one way to find out. ...see full post

Note – some weird porn star with the word kimchi in their stage name has apparently decided that this post infringes upon them in some way shape or form. Maybe its the aged or mature part who knows, but it’s quite irritating. I’ve been told I’m in violation of a DMCA issue because of it. As you can see, no porn here. Very weird. ...see full post
