#5218: Prima Taste Singapore Laksa LaMian – Singapore

#5218: Prima Taste Singapore Laksa LaMian – Singapore

Well, this is the third of three varieties I’m reviewing from Prima Taste – This one’s the regular laksa – not wholegrain. It’s got a new size – smaller than the original. It’ll show up in the US at some point. I tried this back in 2013 and was floored with how good it was. From the noodle to the broth, it sings. Let’s cook! ...see full post

#5154: Prima Taste Singapore Black Pepper Crab LaMian – Singapore

#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

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

#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

#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

#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

The Ramen Rater's Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition

The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition is an annual list of my favorite instant noodles that I’ve reviewed. This last year, I’ve kit some milestones I’m rather proud of, Toward the end of last year, I published by 5000th review. That’s a lot of instant noodle to try throughout the years! With my 500th review, I did a documentary as well as a behind the scenes – check those out to find out about me and what I do here. This list is based of reviews up to #5160. If you are a manufacturer or simply want to see me try a variety I’ve not, please reach out – always happy to try something new. I would also like to mention this list is dedicated to my friend Jamie Burridge, who passed earlier this year. With that, let us look at The Ramen Rater’s Top Ten Instant Noodles Of All Time 2025 Edition. ...see full post

#5153: Prima Taste Singapore Curry La Mian – Singapore

#5215: Prima Taste Singapore Curry LaMian - Singapore

Ahh curry. I will admit I’ve loved curries of all types since I was a kid. I still do – just last week I made green curry with chicken, onion, and bell pepper. Well, this one has graced the Global Top Ten many times – it’s strong noodle and rich broth always please. This new version is different – instead of a soup paste and premix (coconut powder) sachet, there’s two soup base which are infused with coconut milk. Very curious about this change. Let’s give it a look! ...see full post

But that’s not the only product they produce. Here are four others that you might not have seen, some of which unavailable in the United States. Let’s check ’em out! ...see full post

#5081: Prima Taste Singapore Wholegrain Laksa LaMian – Singapore

#5212: Prima Taste Singapore Wholegrain Laksa LaMian - Singapore

Hey look – it’s different! Yep – slightly smaller size and new design. I should note it won’t be in the West for a while.  I needed to gather some things to be able to review these – you’ll see what it’s garnished. This has been my absolutely favorite instant noodle products for a very, very long time, I first tried the non-wholegrain version back in 2013 and I remember calling a friend who worked at another company and told them – ‘take notice of this – things are changing.’ Well, they have. With this review I’m also unveiling my new background. I’d been using a woven black plastic placemat for about ten years. It was time to change. This is a flooring plank cut to size and I’m pretty happy with it – you’ll see it more as time goes on. Anyways, on to the cooking – I’m very excited to try these again for the first time in the new package/size. Let us begin. ...see full post

Prima Taste Changes Packaging & Size

As you may know at this point. I’m a huge fan of Prima Taste’s Laksa and Curry LaMian for ages now. Awesome noodle and broth – really worth trying. It’s been on my global top ten – it’s that good. Well, the package is changing as well as the size of serving. Let’s do and unboxing – soon there will be in depth reviews! ...see full post

#4603: Nissin Cup Noodles Tom Yam Seafood Flavour – Singapore

#4603: Nissin Cup Noodles Tom Yam Seafood Flavour - Singapore

Back in 2017 when the world was young (before I started Instant Noodle Recipe Time), this one graced my desk with its packaging exclaiming ‘more shrimptacular.’ The packaging has changed a bit and I got this one as part of a media kit espousing the virtue of their new Cup Noodles Fish Head Curry (which were quite good, I might add). Nissin Singapore has sent some really quite amazing and well thought out media kits as of late – can’t wait for more of them! Let’s give this new packaging cup a try. ...see full post

#4566: Nissin BIG Cup Noodles Tom Yam Seafood Flavour – Singapore

#4566: Nissin BIG Cup Noodles Tom Yam Seafood Flavour - Singapore

Well, shoot. We come to the end of the BIG Cup Noodles from Singapore with this one, which saddens me. They were a lot of fun, but I wager they may have saved the best for last. They mentioned this one is very popular. I love tom yam – nice and spicy, seafoody, and full of lemongrass flavor. Let’s give it a try! ...see full post

#4471: Nissin U.F.O. Korean Hot Chicken Flavour – Singapore

#4471: Nissin U.F.O. Korean Hot Chicken Flavour - Singapore

This is definitely a challenge to the popular spicy Korean varieties that are so popular right now. I’m really curious if it will also bring a Singaporean savoriness. Logically, this will be formulated to appeal to Singaporeans; like how we have American Chinese cuisine here, perhaps there’s a Singaporean Korean cuisine there? I don’t know but I think I’ll find out shortly! ...see full post
