Over 5,000 Instant Ramen Noodle Reviews Since 2002
Thought this looked worth trying. Vegetables and noodles. Sure why not.
Here’s the flavoring packet if you want to call it that. It says Vegetables and Eggs though… I am truly unhappy – I didn’t take a picture of this and I’m really bummed and truly sorry. It looked like a brick of freeze-dried vegetable omelet. When I poured boiling water on it, it disintegrated and started fluffing up almost immediately.
A new find today at a big Korean supermarket nearby. Been a while since I’ve reviewed anything by Sapporo Ichiban. What’s interesting too is that the packaging proclaims that it’s new! Also on the back it says it’s three servings! Boy, this economy sure is hitting everyone hard! Now instant noodle rationing!
Well here we go with some domesticated ramen. This is a fresh pack by a supermarket available brand.
Sheesh – almost 20% through the 500’s – didn’t expect that to happen so quickly! So here we have the Snapdragon cup, Beijing Vegetable. I got it locally but if you want to try it you can get it here. These have been pretty good so far – let’s see how the veggies do…
So this looks interesting – a square bowl! It’s also Sunlee brand which I’ve enjoyed in the past. Got this at a nice little shop in Anaheim while we were doing Disneyland.
We’ve never seen this brand before andthought hey why not. My wife really likes mushroom flavor things so thought she could have this for lunch, minus a couple bites and slurps for reviewing purposes.
My sister got me this one and kindly brought it to me to check out – thank you! So I’ve never tried this brand before, so I guess we’ll have to see how it goes.
The first thing I noticed about this one was that it was expired. I got these at The Market At Anacortes on July 4th or 5th this year. I’m sure they’re still fine but jeez! Lenmongrass ginger… I like ginger that’s for sure. Wondering about lemongrass though – I guess we’ll see…
It certainly looks like shrimp and very enjoyable in the picture. I wonder how it will taste though. That’s kind of the question I ask myself 50% of the time. The other 50% is kind of a oh look it’s chicken this should be chicken like. This on the other hand is Vietnamese, and sour and spicy and shrimp. So we shall see…
During my vacation I found quite a few of these at ‘The Market At Anacortes.’ I’ve reviewed one in the past and been interested in doing the rest. Here’s some of them – Asian Vegetable flavor. Here we go…
This one looked interesting. I really liked the Nissin Demae Iccho Ramen with XO Sauce, so I thought this would be good too hopefully.
So here’s another one of the ‘Hot of Hots’ I found recently. I really have no idea of what to expect with this one…
Check this one out! This is manufactured in California. Not foreign! Interesting… Let’s give it a try!
So this has been one I’ve been curious about for a while. It’s lurked in my ramen box, quietly asking me to try it from time to time. I heeded its call, and tonight gave it the trappings of a fine bowl of noodles.
The last of the Lucky Me!’s I have in my noodle box. Bone marrow? Bring it with the beefiness!
Okay so my theory here is that if it says it’s tasty, there’s an extremely good chance it isn’t. I’ve never been a mushroom fan but I’ve been coming around lately. This however looked gross to me and has been sitting at the bottom of my noodle box for a while. Today I decided no longer will I fear these noodles. No longer will I cower under my afghan. Bring it noodles – let’s see how ya are.
So here’s something a little different! Healthy and consomme usually aren’t words I see one packages of instant noodles!
So I’ve got a few packs of these Paldo noodles to do. They are pretty ho-hum looking, although this one looks quite interesting. Broad noodles tend to be very good, so we’ll see how they are.
So today’s a downtime today. My lady Kit’s not feeling well and we decided a couple days ago that we would chill and watch Star Trek movies and eat noodles together. That being said, I needed to find some kind of new noodle thing that she night like. Well, BBQ Pork flavor sounded pretty good to me and I thought she’d dig it too.
A little taller than most of the cup noodles I’ve seen, here we have MAMA Pork Flavour…
So here’s a new one. Let’s see how we fare…
Instructions under the plastic labeling…
Got a different variety of this a while back and have been waiting for the right time to try this one. Well, seeing as I’m really low on instant noodles to sample and review, this is a good time to do it. So here we go!
My lovely lady Kit over at www.supertastysnacks.com reviewed this one last night and I thought I should review it too as all it is really is a snack but it is uncooked ramen. So let’s give it a try!
So Kit picked this and the last one – here we go!
Hey cool – quite a few packets in here – powdered base, oil, chili sauce, veggies…
So I had the Pancit Canton the other day. Let’s see if these do a bit better…
Powder, seasoned oil, soy sauce and veggies.
So chicken flavor this time. Thought maybe I’d spruce it up with some leftover turkey!
So teriyaki beef. Here we go…
Click image to enlarge. Up to the fill line, 4 minutes of microwave…
So going to have another one of these today. This looks like the most basic one.
Again, only one packet.
Wow – you know, sometimes it just so happens a package of ramen just has to many words on it. This is one of those occasions. I mean, look at that title up there. I like how you drain the liquid, but it says noodle soup – and you don’t add olive oil, it’s already in the liquid packet…
So something from India eh? The last Cup Noodles from India was a little funky I thought – let’s see how this one tastes…
Some very domesticated Nissin Hot & Spicy! Haven’t tried this kind before – hoping it’s good!
So another one of these big two serving bags. The last one wasn’t all that great so I guess we’ll see how this one fares.
So some more of MAMA’s stuff. Very thin noodles – VERY thin!
Chili powder, powder and seasoned oil.
Bean thread huh? Hmm – not always my favorite. It tends to be gloppy, mucky stuff that kind of congeals together.
This was a really cheap bowl noodle from H-Mart. Let’s see how it is…
So the veggies and powder soup base was in the big silver packet. The little packet had sesame oil.
So here’s some unique noodles in a cup from the Philippines! Sotanghon chicken – what’s sotanghon? According to Wikipedia…
So second in our series of cup noodles is the old standard. As it says on the packaging, they’ve been making Cup Noodles since 1971 and Nissin was the first to make cup noodles. Creamy chicken is a newer flavor – I’m sure plain chicken was the original.
So we begin a short look at noodle cups. I don’t think I’ve actually had a cup in a long time so this will be some fun stuff. We start with some Sapporo Ichiban shrimp flavor.
So this is one of three packs of noodles I got that are actually two packs. This one was just over a dollar – thought it might be a good deal.
Why not right? Some of the stuff that most folks are more used to – big bowls of noodles with easy to understand flavors like chicken and not some kind of melange of paste and rice noodles. Yeah why not.
