Here’s another one of the Nissin Mexico varieties I received recently – thanks again! Spicy? Let’s find out! It mentions that it’s got kick from habanero which is most definitely spicy.
Nissin Pasta U.F.O. Camaron Fuego Salsa Habanero Picante – Mexico
Detail of the bottom of the outer wraps (click to enlarge). Contains shrimp. To prepare, take out sachet and add in 2 cups boiling water. Cover for 5 minutes. Peel off drain spout cover and drain. Add in sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added fried egg, shrimp, spring onion, mild cheddar, red pepper flake, and Bufalo Clasica sauce. The noodles have a nice kind of whole wheat bump to them which was quite nice. Te flavor was a kind of lemony and spicy affair with notes of shrimp. Spiciness was there but balanced and mellow. Included vegetables were great. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662248140.
I just have to say – what an ominous name for an instant noodle! I really dig that! When I saw this, I had to contact Nissin Mexico and see if I could get some. Well, they sent it! They also sent three U.F.O. Yakisoba varieties as well which you’ll see on upcoming reviews.
It’s been so crazy lately; apartment remodel, sinus infection, wife in the hospital (note this review is appearing about 100 days after I wrote it and fingers crossed shes getting out the day I’m writing it). It’s nice that things are at the cusp of really coming back to normal and things will be mellower. Let’s give this a try and check out the videos at the end – the regular Instant Noodle Recipe Time as well as the Spicy Noodle Mukbang! Let’s go!
Nissin Cup Noodles Dark Dragon Sabor Salsa Negra Y Limon – Mexico
Detail of the cardboard outer packaging (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, open lid halfway and add boiling water to line. Cover 3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added baked chicken, cilantro, mozarella, fried onion, and Cholula Chili Garlic hot sauce. The noodles are really quite good in this one – round and a kind of whole grain-ness to them. The broth is like what I would envision a Mexican tom yum to be. Good heat and good crisp flavor from lemon. All in all quite impressed. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662247198.
After years of resisting the common practice of naming these lists after the year ahead, I’ve finally decided I’d conform with societal norms and start doing this with this list. So, there won’t be a 2019 edition (although between you and me that’s what this is as it’s coming out in 2019 and not 2020, but whatever). All lists going forward will be this way. My brain will be okay with it eventually, kind of like how I used to lose my mind when people would pronounce sriracha ‘sirracha,’ which IS the correct way to do s. Time heals all chunks of illogic I suppose. But anyways, these are my favorite and most memorable cup varieties from my reviews up to number 3,180. Let’s take a look at The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodle Cups Of All Time 2020 Edition.

#10: Maison De Coree x Samyang Ramen Gout BBQ Coreen – France
A collaboration of Samyang of South Korea and Maison De Coree of France bring this neat variety. A thick and chewy noodle is married to Korean BBQ sauce – a sloppy umami bomb which really is quite delicious. Original review
#9: Nissin Cup Noodles Alitas Hot – Mexico
Part of their Intensos spicy range, Nissin Mexico brings Alitas Hot – ho wings flavor. The heat level is very tame, however the flavor is off the charts with a very tasty grilled chicken taste. A really nice surprise in this one – worth a try. Original review
#8: MyKuali Penang Red Tom Yum Goong Noodle Authentic Taste – Malaysia
A show stopper, this variety has a super savory broth which is thick and flavorful. Strong tomato and lemongrass notes are present and couples with a great noodle and vegetables sachet. Tastes almost identical to tom yum I tried in Langkawi. Original review
#7: Nissin Cup Noodle Nice Rich Pork Shoyu (New Version) – Japan
This low calorie cup is not low on flavor. A different kind of noodle which has a very good mouthfeel is couples with a strong broth and included garnish which are second to none. At 176 calories for the cup, it makes one wonder why they don’t make all Cup Noodle varieties with this style noodle. Original review
#6: Mamee Chef Curry Laksa Flavour – Malaysia
These noodles are produced using Mamee Chef’s ‘Mi Tarik’ technology which emulates hand pulled noodles. The broth has a rich and luxuriant curry flavor and is augmented by a myriad of garnish including little tofu puffs. Original review
#5: Miandom Tasty Asia Green Curry Shrimp Flavoured Instant Noodles – Singapore
With a very unique wheat noodle whose mouthfeel is different from any other on this list, this one has a strong green curry flavor. It’s unique from top to bottom and really delivers a nice green curry experience. Original review
#4: Maruchan QTTA Curry Ramen – Japan
QTTA (pronounced coo-tah) translated to ‘I’m full/satisfied.’ A cup full of rich curry and thick noodles, with a lot of different included garnish. It definitely should fill you up. Original review
#3: Nissin Cup Noodles Very Veggie Spicy Chicken Flavor Ramen Noodle Soup – United States
Here you see the Very Veggie Spicy Chicken variety, but truly the whole range which includes beef, chicken, and soy sauce flavors hold this spot – they’r equally good. The sheer amount of vegetables work with the base to create just about the most savory broth you could imagine. Really something that should be experienced by every noodle fan. Original review
#2: MyKuali Penang Hokkien Prawn Noodle Authentic Taste – Malaysia
If you like prawn like I like prawn, and I really like prawn, you’re going to be exceedingly enthused about this variety. The sheer amount of prawniness is just wonderful – a thick, sweet and spicy broth, great noodles, and included fried onlon just come together so well. Original review
#1: Nissin Cup Noodles Gourmet Sabor A Caldo De Camaron – Mexico
While other images in this list show the product with additions I’ve made, this one does not. What you see is what you get, and you get a seriously wonderful thing here. A vibrant prawn broth with Mexican flavor, ample garnish (including those reasonably sized shrimp there) and great noodles come together in this one. An absolutely incredible topper to this list. Original review
Here’s the third and final iteration of the Nissin Cup Noodles Intensos range: Diablo. The devil! This should be the spiciest of the three and sounds like something I’m going to need to do a special mukbang for. Let’s take a look!
Nissin Cup Noodles Intensos Diablo – Mexico
Detail of the side panel (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add boiling water to line and cover for 3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added soft egg, spring onion, and fried onion. Noodles came out well in three minutes. As for the broth and it’s heat/flavor, it was great on both point. The taste and heat were well balanced and quite enjoyable. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662247150.
Today, we have the second of the trifecta of Cup Noodles Intensos. a range of spicy varieties from Nissin Mexico. Not only are the spicy, but the three have different levels of spicy. I think this is the second hottest of the three. Alitas Hot – what does it mean? basically Hot Wings. Let’s give it a go!
Nissin Cup Noodles Alitas Hot – Mexico
Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Contains chicken. To prepare, add boiling water to fill line. cover for 3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added fried egg, low moisture mozzarella, grilled chicken, cilantro, green onion, and Cholula Chili Garlic hot sauce. The noodles worked very well here – and they seemed a little different. The broth was honestly some of the best I’ve had in a long time. It was smoky – like grilled chicken. The spicy level was rather tame and slightly acidic tones ala wing sauce tinged it as well. Very tasty. Corn was prevalent as well. Impressed! 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662247167.

Here’s the first of a new range from Nissin Mexico that they sent recently – thanks again! This is a shrimp variety in the new spicy trio that should be pretty spicy! Let’s find out if the ‘fire shrimp’ means business!
Nissin Cup Noodles Camaron Fuego – Mexico
Detail of th cardboard outer package (click to enlarge). Contains shrimp. To prepare, add boiling water to fill line and cover for 3 minutes. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added fried onion, colby jack cheese, soft egg, and cilantro. Noodles had the expected gauge and chew. Was surprised how well they went with this particular broth, however. Broth has a very tangy and crisp bite to it. Spicy level was pretty accessible for most. Kind of made me think of it being a Mexican styled version of tom yum. Shrimp were plentiful and of good quality. All in all very satisfied. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662247143.

This was one I couldn’t leave Taiwan without. I saw this at RT Mart during my trip and passed it up since it was a 4 or 5 pack. But when I saw it again at Carrefour, I realized I’d better snag this one.
It’s been quite a morning – my scanner got screwed up which it does once every three months or so. When I went to reboot, Windows decided to do an update – which took almost two hours! Ugh. So much for the efficiency of waking up at 4am to get work done./ Well, let’s check out this Mexican Chili flavor instant noodle! Oh and by the way – I found out it’s not pronounced with a V sound but a W like ‘way wong.’
Ve Wong Fried Noodles With Mexican Chili Flavor – Taiwan
Here’s the back of the package (click to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add noodle block to a bowl and cover with boiling water and let steep for 3 minutes. Drain. Add in sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
The noodle block.
The liquid base sachet.
Lots of thick stuff!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added cilantro, fried onion, fried egg, Mexican cheese, jalapeno slices, and Cholula hot sauce. The noodles came out well enough – decent quantity and good tooth to them. Gauge was very standard. The flavor was definitely inspired by enchilada sauce, that’s for sure. Heat level was moderate and lot of cumin and chili taste to it. Surprises from Taiwan just keep coming. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. EAN bar code 4710008293231.
So Nissin Mexico’s Gourmet Caldo De Camaron was #1 on this year’s The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodle Cups Of All Time 2017 Edition – and well deservedly so. Big shrimp, lots of veggies and a broth to die for as well as some great noodles in these cups. Well, they were enthused and wanted to thank me, so they sent me a couple of cups.
Here’s one of the 120 cups (click to enlarge). Thank you very much! If you’re local and you know me and you like shrimp, chances are I’ll ask you if you want a couple!
Here’s one left over from the Meet The Manufacturer I did with Nissin Mexico a little while ago. These are very cool – they have little packets of hot sauce in them! Indeed, I think these should be available in the United States as well. I think they’d do really well! Indeed, who wouldn’t like the Cup Noodles here to come with a little packet of hot sauce? I know I would.
I think that in all honesty that Cup Noodles are a fascinating thing. They make them all over the world for so many different consumers. The ones in Thailand, the ones in Mexico and the ones in Japan are so completely different. They’re versatile and amazing to me. The Cup Noodle made it’s debut in 1971 and I couldn’t even guess globally how many different versions have come to market – in the hundreds if not thousands just from Nissin alone. Well, I think it’s time to review this one. Indeed, let’s crack it open!
Nissin Cup Noodles Sopa Nissin Hot Sauce Con Camaron – Mexico
Detail of the back of the cup (click to enlarge). Contains shrimp. To prepare, open and remove sachet. Add boiling water to fill line and cover for 3 minutes. Add in sauce as desired. Finally, stir and enjoy!
Finished (click to enlarge). Added 31-40ct shrimp and coriander. The noodles hydrate decently and have a very light chew. Still surprises me how much noodle you end up with in a little cup. The broth has a kind of shrimp taste which is made much better with the hot sauce; it give it a crisp little hit of spicy and fresh taste. The included vegetables did alright. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662242025.
I recently did a Meet The Manufacturer of Nissin Mexico and they said if I needed anything, let them know. Well, there was one thing. I really loved the Nissin Cup Noodles Gourmet Caldo De Camaron, a really tasty shrimp variety. They were very kind and sent some! Let’s see!
Nissin Mexico Sends Cup Noodles Gourmet! – Mexico
Holy moly (click to enlarge)!! Thanks! This is enough for me and to share!
Well folks, today is the last day of Meet The Manufacturer. It’s been a definite departure from the flavors I’m used to and it’s been a different way of thinking about noodles. I usually include mung bean sprouts in everything, but that really wasn’t an option. Indeed don’t know if my application of queso fresca was correct, but I had to try. However I tried to find other varieties of Mexican cheeses, however couldn’t find any melty ones – just crumbly. It was fun and something different for me, and I want to thank the folks at Nissin Mexico for the opportunity to try all of these! Let’s check out the chicken Cup Noodles to wrap things up.
Nissin Cup Noodles Sopa Nissin Sabor A Pollo – Mexico
Detail of the side panels (click to enlarge). Contains chicken. To prepare, add boiling water to fill line and cover for 3 minutes. Stir and enjoy!
Some of the dehydrated vegetables and seasoning loose in the cup.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added baked chicken with adobo seasoning, mild cheddar cheese and pickled jalapeno. The noodles are the standard Cup Noodles fare – thin and light with a decent quantity. The broth is about as standard as you can get – salty and chickenny. The vegetables hydrated decently, including the peas. Pollo-licious! 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662140031.
Ready? Set? Beef! Here again are the spoonable noodles, this time with a beefy flavor. Let’s give this cup a try!
