Thought I’d eat this before it got too far out of date. Got it at 99 Ranch Market – my wife spotted it and lo and behold, I hadn’t reviewed it. Here we go…

#641: Vina Acecook Hao Hao Fried Noodles Shrimp & Onion Flavour
Been waiting for a good day to review these – they sound really good! I thought I’d try them today to celebrate the CNN article coming out!
#627: Omachi Xốt Spaghetti Beef
Thanks to Todd T. of Everett, Washington for hooking me up with this one – he got it from a Vietnamese client. Spaghetti from Vietnam eh? Sounds interesting. Nothing at all is in English on this packaging, so I’m going to be winging it.
#620: Vifon Phu Gia Mien Instant Bean Thread Bamboo Shoot & Artificial Pork Flavor
Another ‘bottom of the hamper’ pick. Not a huge fan of the bean thread – you surely know that if you’re a follower of this blog. Really hoping to become one though – maybe pork will change my view.
#613: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Instant Noodles Artificial Pork Flavor
The last noodles were so bad that I had to toss them. What a waste! Ah well, this should be good enough to eat!!!
#589: Vifon Korean Style Instant Noodle Kim Chee Flavor Bowl
I thought today I’d pause from the onslaught of funky noodles and look at this one. The thing I didn’t expect was that these would be wheat noodles and that piqued my curiosity. Here goes my 5:30pm after work breakfast!

This one’s pretty unique looking – what the heck is Suc Song? I would love to find out because I can’t find anything about it! Artificial pork flavor sounds good though!
#492: Noah Foods Phoya Rice Noodsle Soup With Beef Flavor
Never seen this before – I also got a chicken variety as well I’ll review a bit down the road. I like the name – Phoya… Maybe there could be a froyo and pho place called PhoYo? Ya!
#474: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Shrimp & Crab Flavor Instant Rice Noodles
Something else from Saigon Ve Wong – Shrimp & Crab flavor! I sure found a lot of these down in California at the Dublin 99 Ranch Market. They’re pretty cheap too – I think these were around a dollar. I recently had a request that I include the prices of these noodles on my reviews – and that’s going to be a little tricky… See, when I go noodle hunting, I end up getting as many new kinds as I can and a lot of the time the receipt has a list – and extremely cryptic listings. So I’ll do my best – I can do an ‘around’ pricing kind of deal. So yeah – this was around a buck. Anyways…
#467: Vifon Tu Quy Sour & Spicy Shrimp Flavor Instant Noodle
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…
#466: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Instant Rice Noodles Artificial Beef Flavor
Some beef tonight. This is beef noodle soup – pho bo. Artificial beef though… Shall we?

#426: Vifon Tứ Quý Mì Ga Ngu Vi Chicken Flavor Instant Noodle
So here’s another of the Vifon Tứ Quý packs I got on my birthday. Chicken eh? Sounds basic… Hmmm.
#422: Vifon Mì Lẩu Thái Thai Style Instant Noodle

Clockwise from top: powdered soup base, veggies and seasoned oil.
#374: Vifon Shrimp Flavor Mi Tom Asian Style Instant Noodles
I rarely have any issue with a nice shrimp flavor bowl of noodles. These are from Vietnam by Vifon – I’d better cook them up and review them ‘cuz I’m hungry!

Didn’t think this wasn’t a repeat review but yeah – this is new! So here we go!
#362: Vina Acecook Daily Instant Noodles Mi Canh Chua Hot & Sour With Shrimp

#327: Gomex 3 Miến Mì Tôm Hùm Lobster Flavour Instant Noodles

#311: Vifon Tasty Asian Style Instant Noodle Mushroom Flavor
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.
#288: Saigon Ve Wong Kung-Fu Artificial Beef Flavor Instant Rice Noodles
Some rice noodles from Vietnam. This was a puffy pack – like a pillow of non-beef goodness!
#277: Vina Acecook Oh! Ricey Instant Phở Bò Rice Noodles Soup Beef Flavour
Here’s the last of the Vina Acecook stuff I got from HT Oaktree Market a few weeks ago (sniff). Overall, I’ve been really really pleased with the Vina Acecook line and hope to sample more very soon! So here’s the beef Pho…
#274: Ve Wong Kung-Fu Instant Oriental Noodle Soup Artificial Soybean Paste Flavor
