Check Out This Awesome Blog – EKP Adventures
So I was looking around for ramen news to post here one day and I came across a blog post about bizarre foods. I put it on TRR and got a nice note frtom the bloggers! Now they’ve done a part two and been kind enough to mention The Ramen Rater! Here is a link to their blog. I spent some time reading and it looks really cool – they’ve done an entire travelogue of their trip to Nepal and climbing 18,250 foot Kala Patthar! See? Instant noodles aren’t so bad for you, are they?
#624: Master Kong Artificial Pork Flavor Instant Noodle

#623: Wei-Wei “A” Series Instant Noodles Vegetarian Flavor
Here’s another one that was sent to me by Michelle L. of New York! I know… Yep – it’s a swastika, the symbol of the national socialist party of Germany in WWII, the Nazis. Well, Wei-Wei isn’t a Nazi company or has anything to do with oppression. On the complete opposite side, in the far east it represents the whole of creation as well as Buddhism. Wikipedia says:
A New Donation Arrives!
Wasn’t expecting any more presents – Christmas is over! A lightweight box… Hmm…
#622: Daikoku My Friend Vic Tanuki Udon Big Bowl
You might be viewing this website today because of the article they did about me in The Everett Herald – or not!

The Ramen Rater News: Korea Yakult (Paldo) Will Be Exporting Kkokkomyeon Soon!
I’ve heard now from two separate sources that this Kkokkomyeon stuff is really popular and is going to be a really big deal when it comes to the USA. Both a seller of instant noodles alluded to it as well as a mention by name by the lady at the Kitty House at 99 Ranch Market (they sell Hello Kitty stuff there).

#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.

New Year, New Domain: www.theramenrater.com
For awhile now, I’ve known that having the site be The Ramen Rater and having the ‘the’ out of the domain name was a kind of bad idea, I thought I’d fix it by adding wwww.theramenrater.com. So you will be able to go to www.ramenrater.com or www.theramenrater.com. Like that? No? Yes? Well, okay then.
UPDATE – Participate: Show Your Noodles!
So only one entry so far! Send me a picture of a bowl of noodles you’re eating and a little info and I’ll post it on the blog! Sunday’s the last day for this first round! Email to info@ramenrater.com.

This is the last of the Super Noodles sent by Cindy C. of England. Thanks again!
So today is my wife and I’s second anniversary. No, not a wedding anniversary – we got married in July. This is our two year ‘Click-I-Versary.” You see, we met on an online dating website! Two years ago today she clicked a button on my profile and let me know she liked me. I did the same. The chatted online for a little bit and then called and talked to each other for many hours – the rest is history! I can honestly say I’ve never been happier in my life. Love you, Kitten!
How I Eat My Ramen
Hello fellow “Rameners” My name is Greg, and I am a Ramenholic. As a new contributor to RamenRater.com I thought it would be appropriate to use my first post to share how I prepare Ramen noodles.
#610: Wei-Wei “A” Series Instant Noodles Artificial Chicken Flavor
Here’s yet another from Michelle L. of New York. I am really digging the “A” series so far!
Re-Review: Indomie Instant Noodles Mi Goreng Satay Fried Noodles
This is one of the samples sent by Empire International – thanks again to them and Jim C.! Many years ago, I tried this stuff. This was the first Indomie product I’d ever tried! I used to get tons of this stuff – my folks would bring it back to Anacortes from Seattle , a bit of a journey for noodles! All the packets, the draining, the eggs… This is where it all begand for me.
Participate: Show Your Noodles!
I was thinking it would be cool to have a page of just pictures of noodles that people had prepared for their lunch or whatever. Well, all I need is people to send in pictures of themselves eating noodles! Every week I’ll post them and put the best one at the top! Sound like fun? I’m really curious what people will come up with! Email your pics to info@ramenrater.com and put “Show Your Noodles” in the subject. Also, first name and last initial and city you hail from if you’re so bold. Can’t wait to see if this happens!
#609: Wei-Wei “A” Series Instant Noodles Artificial Hot Beef Flavor
Here’s another that was sent to me by Michelle L. of New York. This is something I’ve never had before – Wei-Wei brand. Wai Wai yes, Wei-Wei, no. The packaging is interesting – note the guy with the suave hat in the upper right. He’s there; on the scene – purchasing noodles . Let’s see if these noodles rock. Note the economical 49 cent price tag!
#608: Koka Instant Non-Fried Noodles Spicy Black Pepper Flavour
Hadn’t tried it before and at under $3.00 for the four pack, how could I resist?
Here’s the front of a single pack. I have had many of the other varieties of Koka before, but spicy black pepper just sounds so good!
The Convenient Companion for Ramen Seasonings
Hi, I’m Eric, longtime fan and new RR contributor!
When I have soup I like adding lots of different ingredients to them. Powdered ginger, salt, chili powder, galangal powder, etc. But after a while all those bottles started piling up on the table and taking up so much room! So I found a solution to this problem: the multi-spice shaker!
New Contributors To The Ramen Rater!
So I’ve selected a few people who comment a lot and asked if they would like to contribute to the site. So far a couple have responded. Hopefully, you’ll start seeing a post or two from these guys!

Here we go with another Pot Noodle sent by Cindy C. of England. Beef and tomato eh? Well, I’m very curious as to how this one will fare.
#606: Six Fortune Instant U-Dong Noodles
Here’s another from Michelle L. of New York. I have liked pretty much everything I’ve had that Six Fortune makes – hopefully this is no exception. U-Dong is a thicker noodle and it mentions it’s got “udon flavour,” which I would imagine will be seafood.
#605: Little Cook Instant Noodles Artificial Flavored Onion Flavor Cup
Here’s another sent by Michelle L. of New York – thanks again! Send pics of where you put the stickers! This one looks interesting; on top as an afterthought is printed ‘ARTIFICIAL FLAVORED,’ although I do see dried onion in the ingredients. Weird. That said, here’s the noods.
