There’s a new generative AI feature in Google I’ve been using and it’s not bad but usually kind of annoying. However, I used it this time to ask what mazedaar means – here’s what it said:

#4775: Smith & Jones Very Very Tasty! Masala Noodles – India
Found this at the Apna Bazar store in Bellevue, Washington. This is BIG! There’s eight blocks of noodles in here and it’s over a foot wide. I tried making the background reflect that fact but didn’t have a lot of luck – just imagine the squares in the background are much smaller. This is a new brand to me – let’s give it a try!
#4770: Nissin Cup Noodles Italiano Italian Delight – India
Here’s a great one found at Apna Bazar in Bellevue, WA. I wouldn’t have expected an Italian themed one from India – very curious about it because it will be made to be approved for the tastes of people in India. Definitely a different fusion!
#4766: Ching’s Secret Hot Garlic Instant Noodles – India
While this post will publish long after today, I would like to congratulate the people of India on this day! Why? Well, India has landed a craft on the moon! Yeah! I’ve always been into both science fiction as well as science fact. This is very cool stuff – and it looks like there’s a new space race going on currently. Unfortunately, a Russian lander crashed on the moon which is an expensive setback – a couple days ago. Can’t wait to see what the future is like a hundred years from now (don’t worry – I’ll still be around reviewing instant noodles).
#4729: Current Instant Noodles Spicy Chicken – India
Found this at a local Indian grocery yesterday and very pleased that I did. I’ve seen these around online but never in a store and they had single packs which makes things much easier! Let’s crack it open and give it a try!
#4727: Maggi 2-Minute Noodles Masala – United States
Yet another packaging design – it should also be noted that this one doesn’t say spicy masala and just masala. I found this at Indian Sweets & Spices in Shoreline, Washington yesterday. Yesterday was a day of finding particular things. I’ve been doing a lot of curry lately and I got some nice basmati, some noodles, some black cardamom and mango pickle there. I also went and got a half pork belly at Double DD Meats, a great butcher shop and holy grail for hot sauces and all things spicy. I must note that while this is made in India, it’s certainly an export version specifically for sale in the United States. Anyways, time to cook.
#4567: Daebak Ghost Pepper Spicy Chicken Flavour – Malaysia
A big happy birthday for Miles on his 8th birthday!!! Yay!
New packaging – with the little spokescharacter Rangyi, this one is a little different than the previous versions. This one you can put as little or as much ghost pepper oil in it. I’m going to put it all in of course. It looks like it’s the same size oil sachet as the previously reviewed pack version, so this should get a good burn going – mukbang below. Let’s begin.
#4345: Ching’s Secret Pad Thai Noodles Green Curry – India
I’m really curious about this one – I don’t usually get a lot of Indian varieties lately. Found these at an Indian grocery in Bellevue, Washington. It says it cooks in 15 minutes? Okay – let’s give it a try.
#4320: Maggi Pazzta Masala Penne – India
This should be interesting! Haven’t reviewed anything from India in awhile. I’ve tried other Maggi Pazzta in the past, though. Let’s give this one a try!
#3901: Maggi Masala Cuppa Noodles – India
Ahh Maggi. This iconic brand is a real mover in the Indian economy. People cook it up in food stalls too. This cup is interesting as it mentions it’s for sale in India, Nepal and Bhutan only, yet I found it at a local store. I’ve been a fan of this masala for a while – here it is in a cup. Let’s give it a try!
#3861: Wai Wai Quick Chicken Pizza Flavored Instant Noodle – Serbia
A long time ago, I went to JD’s Market in Lynnwood, WA. I found a few neat things, including pizza instant noodles from Pakistan! Well, I just realized years later on a recent trip (like a few weeks ago), I picked up a pack whose flavor is chicken pizza! It’s a wellspring of unique pizza flavor in the instant noodle way. Let’s give it a try!
#3696: Nissin Top Ramen Masala Noodles – India
Well, here’s the last of my Nissin India products. Sad to see them end but it’s really been fun. If you happen to work for Nissin India, please contact me? Heck, if you’re with any instant noodle company in India – I’d love to review all your products. I foresee some happy day doing a top ten Indian varieties list! But until then, here’s the last of the Nissin stuff I found at India Supermarket in Bellevue, Washington.
#3624: Nissin Top Ramen Curry – India
Found this over at India Supermarket in Bellevue, WA. One of many ‘four-in-one’ packs. India. Curry. Let’s do this!
#3616: Nissin Top Ramen Chicken Noodles – India
Really enjoying giving these Indian varieties a try – I don’t get a lot of them so I’m happily going through everything I got recently. Chicken sounds like it should be a good bet. Let’s go!
#3612: Nissin Top Ramen Fiery Chilli Noodles – India
Hooray! Let’s go to India! Actually, I went to India Supermarket in Bellevue, Washington last month! They have a really great selection of varieties from India. It’s pretty common that Indian varieties come in these wide 4 packs. They had a ton I’d not tried and you’ll be seeing them rolling on through shortly. I got some neat stuff to add in as well Let’s go!
#3463: Wai Wai Brand Oriental Style Instant Noodles – Thailand
Okay so there’s Wai Wai in Thailnd, then Wai Wai in India, which I suspect is an exponentially larger affair. However I think they are part of the same company. It’s uncanny – Thai instant noodle companies have names with repeating syllables.
Spicy Noodle Mukbang – Myojo Ginza Delhi Curry Masala Yakisoba
Today it’s a Japanese – India fusion – a yakisoba that blends the texture of yakisoba and the flavor of spicy South Asian curry masala. It’s also a sad day in the world as Anthony Bourdain is no longer with us. Rest in peace.
#2704: Maggi Cuppa Chilly Chow
Found this one down in Pleasanton, California during our road trip to visit family in August. Boy – that was a journey! We took Miles (almost 2 years old) and Miri (8 months old). I can say that car seats would be comfy I think but if I were that age I sure wouldn’t want to sit in one for that long – I think the way down was 18 hours and we broke the drive back into two chunks – I think altogether that was about 24 hours with all the stops.
#2685: Nissin Cup Noodles Veggi Manchow
This is one we found at an Indian grocery in Pleasanton, California this Summer. I really like the fact that India has so many different instant noodle varieties and that I’ve not tried so many of them – like every one that I find is a little precious gem. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about Manchow –
#2678: Maggi Hot Heads Barbeque Pepper Noodles
Here’s another from the spicy Hot Heads series from Maggi India. From the picture, it certainly looks tasty – although the picture doesn’t show a barbeque pepper but an onion or shallot. Regardless, I would have to say the onion is my favorite vegetable. I could eat onions on anything – Well, maybe not pie. Unless it’s a meat pie. I’m talking a dessert kind of pie – yeah, I wouldn’t prefer onions on that. But who knows. Alright, enough of this – let us have a look!
