Once again, here we go – back from vacation and back to instant noodle reviewing! First we have some Sau Tao brand Wonton flavored noodles. Always seems to be in a cup… They’re going to be extremely good I hope.

Where To Get It: OC Market Poultry & Rotisserie in Anaheim, CA
This place was awesome! Quite a few varieties of noodles I hadn’t seen before – pretty much the full line of FF bowls and even a Sunlee square bowl. Not only that, but the woman who was at the register was really nice and actually talked to us! A lot of the time at checkouts at Asian groceries I find that the people working there don’t make eye contact or even speak to us at all. One other thing – the place smelled really good – I think that it’d be an excellent place to eat in as well. Highly recommended!
#445: iNoodle Taiwan Style Chow Mein
So anyone who’s seen the top ten list of my all time favorite noodles knows that Sapporo Ichiban’s Chow Mein is up there. I had a fresh noodle – Souper Brand – that was a chow mein variety and liked it very much. This is a Taiwanese version – curious what the difference will be.
#444: Mr. Udon Oriental Udon Noodle Oriental Chicken Flavor Artificially Flavored
So here’s something new – Mr. Udon! These came from a Big Lots store north of here – was rather surprised to see it honestly. So let’s give ‘er a try!
#443: Lucky Me! N-Rich Instant Mami With Malanggay Chicken Tinola Flavor
I had another one of these that had ginger flavor with it – was pretty good! I think I got this one at the Seafood City in Tukwila on my birthday during the big noodle re-up of 2011.
#442: Nongshim Kal Guk Soo Korean Style Noodle Soup
Okay so I reviewed Samyang’s Kalgugsu a long time ago and it said it was assorted clam flavored noodle soup. This one just says its Korean noodle soup, however its got mussels, anchovy, bonito, shrimp tuna and mushroom going on too. I wouldn’t call it assorted clam flavor this time around – more like assorted flavor flavor.
#441: Ottogi Asian Style Instant Noodle Spice Seafood Noodle
I was very much on the fence as to whether I’d tried this one before, but as it turns out I haven’t. Looks like something tasty.
#440: Maruchan Instant Lunch Hot & Spicy Beef Flavor Ramen Noodles With Vegetables
So here’s some Instant Lunch. Haven’t done one of these in a while and I’m sure that there’s a ton of them I need to do still. So hot & spicy beef – let’s give ‘er a try.
#439: Little Cook Tom Yum Seafood Premium Noodle
So the idea of a seafood noodle soup with fake seafood has been kind of daunting for the past couple months. However, today was the day. I must fear no ramen! So, here we have some seafood tom yum from Thailand.
#438: Samyang Ramen Beef Flavor Big Bowl Noodle Soup
So here’s something good I’m sure! Haven’t ever seen this popular Korean beef ramen in a big bowl before – let’s try it!
#437: Nongshim Big Bowl Spicy Noodle Soup With Kimchi Flavor
Honestly instead of Big Bowl I think these should be marketed as Huge Bowl, but honestly this is about what you would get if you bought a pack of Nongshim Kimchi noodles in a pack, except you would get better quality noodles there. These noodles are built for fast inflating and absorbency.
#436: Unif Bowl Instant Noodles – Artificial Beef With Sauerkraut Flavor
Wow look at this one – all purple and yellow… Very different looking than anything I’ve seen yet. And the flavor – beef and sauerkraut? I wonder if it’s going to be any good? Well, let’s have at it!

Sweet! Two days in a row of Indonesian delicacy! Today we have one with mention of Sambal in the title. Sambal equals spicy! Should be good!
#434: Wingsfood Mie Sedaap Instant Kari Spesial Bumbu Kari Kental
So today we went and looked for noodles at the HT Oaktree on 100th & Aurora in Seattle. Found these new Indonesian noodles! Sweet! Kari translates to curry!!!

In The News: The Ramen Rater on KIRO 97.3 FM
Here’s the interview in its entirety and a link to the blog story. There will be a video taken at the station of the ramen tasting soon!
#431: Unif Tung-I Chinese Onion Flavor Instant Rice Noodles
I’ve reviewed a ton of the Unif noodles, but it’s been quite a while. Here’s a Unif rice noodle – Chinese onion.
#430: Quickchow Pancit Canton Toyo-Mansi
Toyo Mansi huh? Well, I’m pretty sure that mansi is lime, but toyo? Well, Wikipedia had the answer:
#429: Quickchow Instant Chicken Mami Chicken Flavor
So here’s some Quickchow from the Philippines. Mami just means noodle soup as far as I know. I like the little ‘Buy Pinoy’ logo on the lower right!
#428: Kamfen E-Men Noodles Artificial Chicken Soup Flavor
So this is something different – E-Men noodles. The ingredients say they’re mad of wheat flour and soybean oil…
#427: Koka Mi Hai Cua 2 Crab Flavour Oriental Style Instant Noodles
Look at the angry little crabs! They’re saying ‘eat the noodle soup!’ I’m agreeing with them and thusly, I portend to make said soup and have it for breakfast.
#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.
#425: Chikara Shrimp Flavor Udon
So something a little more tame. Shrimp udon! Should be good and tasty I imagine. Fresh noodles are always good.
Re-Review: Nongshim Shin Ramyun
So these instant noodles are very prevalent in this area and I imagine easily procured anywhere in the USA. This is Nongshim Shin Ramyun Gourmet Spicy flavor and it was purchased at a regular grocery store.
#59: Maggi Chinese Noodles Lemon Chicken Flavor
Maggi: Chinese Noodles Lemon Chicken Flavor
Stars: *** 1/2
Country of origin: India
Seasoning: 2 Packets, 1 dry 1 oil
Noodles: Wheat flour
Homemade Multi-Cultural Noodles
I’m a big fan of instant noodles – such a big fan that I started www.ramenrater.com to review different varieties. Of all things ramen, I’ve come up with this homemade noodle recipe, taking ingredients from all over the far east and orient.
#55: Hua Feng Noodle Expert Favoury Pork Flavor
Hua Feng Noodle Expert: Favoury Pork Flavor
Stars: *
Notes: Aside from being ‘favoury,’ this wasn’t really all that good. More like ‘pork rancid favoury’ if you ask me.
#54: Hua Feng Noodle Expert Spicy Instant Noodles Spicy Seafood Flavor
Hua Feng Noodle Expert: Spicy Instant Noodles – Spicy Seafood Flavor
Stars: ***
Notes: This stuff’s actually quite different – it comes in a round cake of noodles, and fits quite snugly into the cooking pot. After cooking it, it really sucks up water and basically turned into a big bowl of seafood spaghetti! Wasn’t too shabby with some roman peasant bread left over from mother’s day.
#53: Indomie Chicken Flavour Cup Noodles
Indomie: Chicken Cup
Stars: **
Notes: A little too salty for my taste; was missing some important things like really tasty flavor and seasoning oil. I suppose that’s the trade-off when having a small cup-o-noodles style cup. However, one of the coolest things in the ramen industry is the Indomie Folding Fork, which is included. It just folds and snaps into place! Sturdy too. So yes, it’s worth it for the fork.
#52: Indomie Chicken Curry Flavor
Indomie: Chicken Curry Flavor
Stars: ****
Notes: Ah now this stuff is classy. First off yes, it tastes like curried chicken. There’s oil, cabe [chili powder], fried onions, and bumbu sauce [the powdered base]. Another fine Indomie product to be sure. Best with a couple small pieces of BBQ pork on the side, a fried egg on top and some pickled ginger garnish. Get it here.
#51: Indomie Curly Noodles With Grilled Chicken Flavor
Indomie: Curly Noodles With Grilled Chicken Flavor
Stars: *****
Notes: This has to be the penultimate achievement in the ramen producing world. First off, these noodles are great; they are flat and curly with an unsurpassed, fine character. The package comes with a myriad of flavorings, including sweet soy, bumbu sauce, seasoned oil, chili powder, and finally, an extra special packet. After boiling the noodles and mixing with the seasonings in a bowl, you add 1/2 a cup of boiling water to this packet and stir – it’s a soup base. This stuff is really good – especially when you put two fried eggs on top of the ramen, then pour it over slowly. Fried shallots on top of that with a bit of shedded pickled ginger makes the scene complete. I can’t recommend any ramen more than this one. This is top! Get it here.
#50: Indomie Mi Goreng Fried Noodles
Indomie: Fried Noodles
Stars:****
Notes: Another one of Indomie’s great line of noodles. These are your basic variety of noodles – just plain fried. Best with some form of meat/vegetable garnish. Get it here.
#49: Indomie Mi Goreng Pedas Hot Fried Noodles
Indomie: Hot Fried Noodles
Stars:****
Notes: Exactly the same as the above fried noodles, only this one has a bit of hot chili with it. It’s quite hot and very good stuff – best with garnish, even better with fried eggs. Get it here.
#48: Indomie Rasa Kaldu Udang Shrimp Flavor
Indomie: Shrimp Flavor
Stars: ***
Notes: Not a bad bowl of noodles, although a little salty. Of course quite good when made with a bit of fried or scrambled egg on top. Get it here.
#47: Indomie Jumbo BBQ Chicken
Indomie: Jumbo BBQ Chicken
Stars: ****
Notes: It’s pretty good – a big bowl of noodles that don’t really taste like barbecued chicken. However, it’s flavor is quite good and reminiscent of the Satay variety. Get it here.
#46: Indomie Jumbo Meat Ball
Indomie: Jumbo Meat Ball
Stars:***
Notes: Strangely enough, this did have a slight hamburger-like flavor to it. It’s best quality is that it’s a jumbo pack – can’t get enough of this stuff! Basically very much like the regular fried noodles. Get it here in the regular size.
#45: Indomie Mi Goreng Sate Satay Fried Noodles
Indomie: Satay Fried Noodles
Stars: *****
Notes: This is the stuff that really got me into ramen. First off, five seasoning packets.
Second, by displaying sunny side up eggs on the packaging, I of course had to
try it for breakfast and quite enjoyed it. This is truly the alpha and omega of
the ramen hunter’s holy grail. The first ramen I found that required the noodles
be drained, then added to the dry bowl with the seasonings/oils and stirred. An
extremely spiritual experience. Get it here.
#44: Indomie Rasa Ayam Spesial Special Chicken
NOTE – there is an updated re-review of this pack – much better! 12/09/2011
Indomie: Special Chicken
Stars:****
Notes: Beats the living hell out of the domesticated ‘Top Ramen Chicken’ flavor. Although it does lack a soup base as do all of Indomie’s products but the special curlies, it’s very chickeny and great with eggs and even better with a bit of chicken. Get it here.
