#5536: Samyang MEP Garlic & Clam Flavor - United States

Okay what is this MEP thing all about? Gemini says “MEP is a new brand of instant ramen by Samyang Foods, standing for Maptaeng (매떵), which is a Korean term that combines “map-da” (spicy) and “taeng-ha-da” (firm, chewy texture).”  Ah okay. – now it’s a little more logical, however I think it could have a little more accessible name… Anyways – garlic and clams.

#5510: Nissin Thai Signature Tom Yum Shrimp Creamy Soup - Japan

I was told by a colleague about a website called Japanese Snack Republic. The have a slew of instant noodle varieties and you have a couple choices – free shipping with no tracking or expedited you pay for. I thought I’d take a shot at the free and get a couple packs and this is one of them. The package was sent literally one day before the Japanese Post decided with the inconsistencies and day to day tumult of the US Government’s tariffs, etc, they would stop accepting packages to be shipped to the United States. They’re not the only ones – South Korea, Australia and plenty more have joined them. Anyways, this was one of those in a little box that went out a day before they shut it down. It arrived! I’m stoked! Let’s cook it up! ...see full post

Advent Calendar Day 22: Nissin Cup Noodles Shrimps Soy Sauce – Germany

Advent Calendar Day 22: Nissin Cup Noodles Shrimps Soy Sauce - Germany

Today is a very special day at our house. 16 years ago today, my wife and I spoke for the first time. We met on an online dating service website. She was home sick from work living with her folks and I was working for a fish company living in my friends garage. Well, it was a remodeled garage at least. We talked on the phone for about 4 or 5 hours. It was great – although I really didn’t expect anything to come of it – she lived all the way down in the Bay Area and that was a bit far from Anacortes up here in Washington state. We talked again the next day, and on Christmas Eve, we talked all day long – like 14 hours all day long. Christmas morning she asked if I’d come down for New Years, and I accepted – best decision I ever made. Let’s have some shrimp Cup Noodles! ...see full post

Fishball, tofu puff, and mint. That’s the quartet I like to have on hand. Of course, egg as well. This one’s showing shrimp as well, so I think I’ll include that in lieu of fish ball.
