#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

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

#5323: Prima Taste Singapore Black Pepper Crab LaMian - Singapore

Here’s another of the new size/package Prima Taste LaMian series. This stuff is serious business. I’m hoping we don’t lose power as a massive storm rolls in. There’s been talk of the possibility of tornadoes! I live about an hour’s walk from the Seattle city limits, so that’s rather bizarre. Let’s cook this up as we get excited for a lots of thunderstorms to watch tonight. ...see full post

#5196: Ayam Malaysian Black Pepper Noodles - Hong Kong

Well, I’m back. What do I mean by that? As I type this, it’s January 2nd. I was actually planning on reviewing it today, however the kids still aren’t back in school yet and at an age where they, well, to coin a phrase of my mother’s, have ‘diarrhea of the mouth.’ They’re noisy and won’t shush at all. The last review I did wasDecemberr 19th and this will get done January 6th. Quite a break for me. Well, let’s get it read then give it a try. ...see full post

#5192: Nissin x Irvins Salted Egg Mala Flavour - Singapore

This is the last of the multipacks – I’m really making progress through all these Nissin Singapore products! Soon, the monster box will be gone and I’ll have room. Not to say I don’t like what’s in the box as I very much do. I’m curious about this one – it’s salted egg again, but instead of pepper spicy, I’m guessing it’s Sichuan peppercorn spicy. Let’s see if it works! ...see full post

#5190: Nissin x Pepper Lunch Beef Cheese Curry Flavour - Singapore

The saga of the huge box from Singapore continues! Until I saw these, I’d never heard of Pepper Lunch, which is a restaurant chain. But indeed, there are locations here as well as in Singapore and probably elsewhere as well. Let’s try this cheese curry – high hopes as I love curry. I’m eating curry for dinner – I make it all the time. ...see full post

#5187: Nissin Jumbo Seafood Chilli Crab Flavour - Singapore

You might have noticed a different background on the pics lately. So there’s a company that does flooring called Flooret and they had a thing in facebook offering to send free samples. Well, I got some and  that’s what these are. I’m going to get a big piece and get it cut which is darker than this one I’ve been using. It’s pretty neat stuff and I’m pretty stoked. Let’s continue on though – this is a chilli crab pack from Singapore – one of the signature dishes of the country. Let’s give it a try! ...see full post

#5328: Totino's Ramen Noodles Cheese Pizza Naturally Flavored - United States

Well kids, here we are. It’s kind of funny; I’ve had many a pizza flavored instant noodle – from places like Pakistan, Serbia, Brazil, and Indonesia to name a few. Nothing from the United States though. All these others employed a standard fried wheat noodle and were indeed the ‘standard’ instant ramen style noodle. In this one for the US, the term ‘ramen’ is doing some incredibly heavy lifting. I feel partially to blame to be honest – I’m The Ramen Rater – but I do not only review Japanese varieties like shio, tonkotsu, miso and shoyu, but try everything from everywhere. So, is this something that is called ramen, or is it ramen? You be the judge. Rather, I will after I sample it. Let’s begin. ...see full post
