Yep! Another Maruchan variety. Roast Beef! Shall we begin?

One packet of fun.

The powder in the bowl awaiting the cooked noodles and boiling water.

Here’s another new one brought from California by my lovely lady. Thanks, Kit! On with the review!

So here’s one my lady got for me – chili flavor Top Ramen! So cool – dueling Chili flavor products back to back! Let’s rock!

So my friend Todd hooked me up with this stuff – thanks man! Haven’t seen this one before, so let’s give it a try.

So today I opted for something different from Nissin – Top Ramen Picante Beef. Kind of funny; why don’t they make a teriyaki beef or a stir fry flavor over here? Anyways, here we go…

So as far as I know, this is the third in the trifecta of big cup noodles that they’re putting out here in the USA. I have seen reviews of Japanese-market big cup noodles though… Anyways, big!

Yeah – seriously. I’ve always liked this kind of thing – I know Nissin Top Ramen had a variety in the past too… So let’s try this out.

So this is the second of these – I imagine there’s a chicken one too.

Today, my lady Kit decided to try one so I sneaked a taste so I could review it. This one was interesting as the last one I’m afraid…

So my lady found this one at a supermarket a couple days ago – we go there all the time so I’m thinking this is extremely new so Check it out!

So what a shocker – we were strolling down the aisle of a big box grocery store and saw this sitting there. I like how they incorporated the Mexican flag into the packaging too! While trying to find a commercial for the last review (#319: Maruchan Oriental Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup) I found a TON of homemade videos for Maruchan Instant Lunch as well as official ones. It was insanity! test

So my son is over today and he loves noodles too, so I get a bite of his and get to review it while he gets to eat it. It’s a fair deal I think! So here’s Maruchan Oriental – and yeah; it is a surprise that I haven’t reviewed it isn’t it?

Here’s something new – was blown away that I hadn’t noticed it before. This is kosher ramen! It’s made in Canada for a company in Los Angeles called Tradition…

So three hundred reviews behind this and onward we go! So here’s a brand I’ve never seen before. A lot of funny stuff on this package – shrimp flavor, bad English… But proof is in the eating right?

So this is the last of the Fortune Udons. Was waiting for the right time to make it for my beloved Kit and right now I’m going to say that she finds it to be absolutely excellent.

Again another flavor of Nissin Cup Noodles! Spicy Chile Chicken! Let’s see if this stuff packs any heat!

Yeah okay I know… After 264 reviews I’m finally getting to the Nissin Chicken Cup Noodles. Let’s get to it.

So here’s a new one. Let’s see how we fare…

Instructions under the plastic labeling…

Some hot & spicy up in here!

Clockwise from top left: powder soup base, veggies and shrimp, ‘soup booster.

So here’s another good ol standby – beef cup noodles.

Very easy instructions…

So we went to the grocery store and got a bunch of Cup Noodles – at only 25 cents a piece why not, and they haven’t been reviewed yet! So here’s shrimp.

So let’s see if this is as good if not better than yesterday’s udon.

Again I am flummoxed; how do they tell the packets apart? This one is exactly the same as the beef packet.

So something new – found this at a standard regular run of the mill grocery store. There were three varieties, so we got one of each, especially at 10/$10.

Well, this thing is big enough – hopefully it’s good stuff!

So the dragon pulls the cart. I would hate to be riding in that thing! The warnings of pain in store were interesting…

Chow noodle! Wow this stuff looks interesting. I liked the cheese version… Let’s see how this one tastes eh?

Before anyone gets their panties in a proverbial ruffle, look at the lower right hand corner. It says ramen noodles.

Been wanting to try this for awhile and thought hey – a sale on it for 69 cents? I’m on it. So here we go.

Yep – surprising isn’t it? When you see that I’ve reviewed well over 200 unique packs of instant noodles to think that I haven’t done beef flavored Top Ramen yet. So here we go!

Sweet & sour chicken? Is it possible that it could taste like sweet & sour chicken? We shall see…

Roast chicken? As opposed to the regular chicken eh? Okay I’m game…

Powder base and veggies in with the noodles. awaiting the pain of the boiling water.

So chicken flavor this time. Thought maybe I’d spruce it up with some leftover turkey!


So found the sixth of seven varieties of Bowl Noodle! Kit you rock!!! She saw it at Uwajimaya in Bellevue and boom – here we go!!!

So the local grocery store had four different varieties of this stuff so I thought I might as well run through them. So roast chicken huh? Alrighty…

It’s big, it’s burly, it’s insanity. I really think the USA is the only country that this is marketed to. Super size me ramen! 2960mg of sodium and 560 calories. But hey, that 14g of protein will help on the jog you take after eating this!

So now that I’m out of the Nong Shim bowl noodles, here’s something new. This is going to be good – I haven’t had any complaints that I can think of about Sapporo Ichiban’s products.

So here’s the last Bowl Noodle I have on hand, Spicy Shrimp Flavor. I’m hunting for the Seafood and the Lobster flavors currently. I think that’s all of them…

So going to have another one of these today. This looks like the most basic one.

Again, only one packet.

So here’s the third of these Bowl Noodles I’ve tried, Cabbage Kimchi. Some not so keen on Kimchi might not know that its not only made of cabbage but other vegetables too, such as radish. Anyways, Let’s get started.

Beef & Ginger? Sounds really good! Surprising that I haven’t stumbled upon more packs of instant noodles that have ginger as a main ingredient – it’s so tasty and all…
