#3738: O’Taste Habanero Tteokbokki With Noodles – South Korea
Oh boy, oh boy… I did a big sort of all the noodles I had in my hampers and one thing I found was a huge amount were expired – not just a little, but like expires in 2018 (it’s 2020). Now that my noodle hoard has dwindles (I think I tossed a good 50 packs/cups/bowls), I saw someone else touting this one as a new add to their stash. Well lo and behold, this one made the cut – it expires next week, so I’d better get on it. Not only that, this sounds like a mukbang if I’ve ever heard of one. Let’s do it.
#3736: Tasty.ly Quick Pasta Cheezy – Malaysia
I’ve been reviewing a lot of these Kay’s and Tasty.ly products recently – it’s pretty neat! I mean, Malaysia isn’t the first place you think of when you think of macaroni and cheese, is it? I really liked the Creamy variety so guessing this is going to be good too. Let’s find out!

#3733: Pamana Instant La Paz Batchoy – United States
The first thing I noticed about this one was toward the top where it mentioned it has real beef and real pork. I so seldom come across varieties from the Philippines that this was a real score. I think I found it up in Canada but I’m not sure. Let’s see what Wikipedia has to say about La Paz Batchoy real quick –

#3727: Cheetos Mac’N Cheese Cheesy Jalapeno – United States
This. This created quite a stir (no pun intended) in the Instant Noodles – The Ramen Rater Facebook group. The spicy crowd was fascinated, and the ramen crowd espoused disdain. Cries of ‘that’s not ramen’ rose up in protest. Obviously not; it is pasta – rotini to be exact.
#3723: Tapatio Ramen Noodle Soup Extra Spicy Flavor – United States
The Tapartio guy is flanked by flames this time! But wait – who is he? How did they end up with this guy on this ramen and of course the zillion bottles of hot sauce bearing the name Tapatio?
#3721: Dream Kitchen Curry Udon – United States
I went to Uwajimaya in Bellevue today and looked at all the noodles they had and honestly, this was the only one that piqued my curiosity. I’ve reviewed Dream Kitchen stuff before, but it certainly looked like private label KOKA product – but this one doesn’t seem to be that way. It says it’s a product of the USA, so I’m a little perplexed as to who is actually making these. But either way, it’s curry udon and of that I’m not perplexed and I know I’m partial to curry, so let’s see how it is.

#3715: Mamee SLRP! Mi Segera Perisa Kari Xtra Pedas – Malaysia
Pedas not enough for you? How bout a little XTRA? Pedas means spicy over in Malaysia and this one means it! I did a mukbang of the cup version of this one a while back and thought I’d better do the pack too since Felix over there was kind enough to ship some over! Let’s give it a go!
#3713: Kay’s Instant Macaroni Chicken Soup – Malaysia
There’s been a lot of comment in the Instant Noodles – The Ramen Rater Facebook lately concerning ramen vs pasta. This most certainly is pasta. However, a chicken macaroni soup from Malaysia definitely an interesting thing. Plus it’s instant. Let’s give it a try!

#3690: MAMA Cup Instant Rice Noodles Spicy Stir Fried Baby Clam Flavor – Thailand
It might sounds a little devilish, but aren’t the tastiest things usually babies? Baby clams, veal, lamb… The List goes on and on. Correct me if I’m wrong though; aren’t baby clams just small clams and not actually infantile clams? Less nefarious than the other stuff, don’t you think? Well, either way, 210kcal for the cup ain’t too shabby! Let’s try this one out!
#3689: MAMA Oriental Kitchen Hot Korean Instant Noodles – Thailand
Here’s one MAMA of Thailand sent recently – thanks! I’ve tried the pack version of this before, but not the cup, so, ladies and gentlemen- this warrants a mukbang! You can find it at the bottom! Let the spiciness commence!

#3682: Baixiang Artificial Beef With Sauerkraut Flavor Instant Noodle – China
I constantly hear all this anti-Chinese sentiment coming from different places. Well, today I’m engaging in some noodle diplomacy. Pickled cabbage is tasty stuff. There are so many neat flavors that come from China that really need to be experienced by everyone I think. I mean one thing we all have in common – we all eat. This is definitely a bridge to understanding and happiness. Okay – let’s see if my belly is happy after sampling this one.
#3679: Gurimi Mi Instant Rasa Vegetarian – Indonesia
Here’s what I think is the last of the Gurimi varieties I found up in Canada at FoodyWorld… I really miss Canada. Hope I can go back soon. The bonus will be that there should be a ton of neat new stuff to try at least…

If you’ve never seen or heard about this range (you’ve probably been under a rock), just know these are probably the most popular spicy range of products around when it comes to noodles. They came out with a Christmas themes variety – meat spaghetti. I’m wondering if this one will be similar? Let’s find out.
#3651: Tasty.ly Cup Pasta Carbonara – Singapore
