#5205: Norita Roasted Pork Miso Tonkotsu Ramen – United States

#5205: Norita Roasted Pork Miso Tonkotsu Ramen - United States

Here’s the second of my three review series of stuff found at local bargain stores. This is another one From Dollar Tree – and the price there on the label  was the price I paid for it. I almost never have seen an instant noodle with a price on it – fascinating! What’s also kind of interesting is this and the last one are 300ml. IDK if that’s a pointer that both may be from the same folks but I don’t think so. I should also mention I reviewed a similar packaged product awhile back. The packaging did change and when the emperor gets new clothes, it gets a new review. Finally, when I reviewed it previously, it was incredibly good – and made in Thailand. Still made in Thailand. Let’s cook it up. ...see full post

#5204: NeoStar Ramen Delight Spicy Chicken Instant Noodle Bowl – United States

#5204: NeoStar Ramen Delight Spicy Chicken Instant Noodle Bowl - United States

Well, today I went looking for cheap toothpicks.  I went to Dollar Tree – which currently should be called Dollar Twenty-Five Tree, and then Grocery Outlet Bargain Market. They’re right next door to each other. I also like to look for instant noodles at these places as well. Today, I found no toothpicks, however I found three instant noodles and this is the first one I found. I’m going to do these three varieties over the next three reviews. Here we go. ...see full post

#5168: McTrader Ramen Noodles Sirloin Artificially Flavored – United States

#5168: McTrader Ramen Noodles Sirloin Artificially Flavored - United States

My 5000th review was of the chicken version from this brand. Why? It was a brand I’d not seen, I got it locally, and when I found it I was surprised to find it as well and excited. I saw a post in the Ramen Junkies group showing this beef version, and I could tell from the shelf picture it was from the same place – a discount store called Dollar Tree. So, I thought I’d look to see if they have it and they did. What I find interesting is that I thought these were made in China – they’re not. These are made in India, and a sirloin flavor, which connotes beef seems very out of character.  Once again, I review another McTrader product. Let us begin. ...see full post

#5000

#5000. It took me a long time to decide what to review for #5000, and you might be thinking ‘why this one?’ I found it at a Dollar Tree store, and it had all the hallmarks of something I like to review. First, never have I seen this brand before. That’s a neat thing – I mean after 5000 you’d think I’d seen everything but most certainly not. Second, it’s basic. Really hard to screw up chicken flavor, although I have indeed seen it done before. Third, I got it at a place that was very nearby, in walking distance. That’s pretty cool. The main chunk of my early reviews were fouind when I walked to a 99 Ranch Market. So, it’s kind of a mirror of what got me back to reviewing after my lapse in the 2000s. ...see full post
