III. Bean Vermicelli Good TOM YUM KUNG FLAVOUR

Next review! Since I'm not in the mood to do my homework in Chinese yet. >.<

It's about VINA ACECOOK's Bean Vermicelli Good in Tom Yung Kung Flavour! It's vietnamese, therefore all the vietnamese, english, french, whatever language on it...

 (Pretty impressive package design. I like red and gold. The date-stamp kinda ruined it though. =.='')

(Ingriedients in waaay too much foil! When I finished unpacking, the water already finished cooking! Dx)
 (Dumped everything in a bowl... well amost everything because...)

(I spilled the powder, tearing open the sachet. OTL
Looks like the noodle soup has something against my rice-cooker...)
 (Right after pouring the boiling water in.)

 (After 5 minutes I opened the lid and it still looks the same... o.O )

 (Yummy Uzumaki! *O*)

So here is, how it is: 
It's mild hot, BUT everything is hotter when hot! I really can't eat spicy food, so this was really marginal. Not the kind, where you feel your esophagus melting and your mouth-imitating-hell spicy, but the one, were you need a glass of water with the food.
The taste is pretty good, just your typical sour & hot soup.
The dried shrimp in it is sweet, which was... interesting. x3 Uzumaki is awesome, tastes slightly fishy and sweet!!! Where can I get a whole package of that? Need mor Uzumaki in my life! *____*
Noodles are just the right consistency, a little chewy, but edible. Weird onion/herb chunks are weird… still NO idea, what that is suppose to be, because it tastes like nothing. WTF?
All in all, a sweet and hot A!

II. Udon Noodles With Soup Base KIMCHI FLAVOUR

Hello!
This is Q.A's Udon review!
I know, first post of mine and already no ramen. xP

Anyways, I'll show my n00b of a sister, how a good posts looks like! Muhahahaha~

-

My review will be about these korean Udon Noodles. The brand is Bon Go Jang, I assume, and the noodles are called Udon Noodle Soup with Soup Base Kimchi Flavour!


The packaging is really nice. Hard foil, really nice pictures and I like the orange ombre coulour
Very pleasing to the eye, yes. ^^
Aaaaaaaand another reason I bought them is:


I will have long life!!! So awesome! I HAD to buy it! xD

What sucked, was the humongous sticker sticked on the back. The problem was, ON the sticker were NO cooking directions! And peeling it off was really a hassle, but there were at least english instructions underneath. How are non-english speakers suppose to eat this, huh?! Fail...


All the awesome stuff inside:


Let's go!
1. Boil 400ml of water in a pot.
Didn't have anything to measure the water. so I just filled half a pot. I'm a poor student ok? Why else would I life of of noodle soup. If I had money, I would be eating fast food everyday!


Boiling water, check!
2. Put noodles, soup base and kimchi block into boiling water and cook for two minutes.


(I failed at ripping it open properly so I had to use scissors to cut it open. -.-'')

(Very weird block of shock dried kimchi... I'm still not sure, what that block was... o.O)

(Well, after some cooking it melted into something kimchi-like.)

Alright!
3. Stir well and serve.

(Delicously boiling soup. *___*)

If you're asking, yes, I most of the time eat out of the pot. I don't want to wash an extra bowl, ok?!
Ok, the noodles are pretty chewy. I' more used to soft Udon, so it was a little weird... maybe I should have cooked them longer... then again, 2 minutes were written on the package. >.<
The broth, is really good! It isn't too salty and has the nice sour kimchi taste to it and a slight hottness, which is totally bearable. I really like it! I will give it a A-!

I. Artificial Pickled Cabbage Fish Flavour



Brand: ??? (sum chinese signs I can’t understand lol)
Name: Artificial Pickled Cabbage Fish Flavour
Price: ?


Woohooooo, time for the first review!!! I’m too unmotivated to write some epic introduction stuff. Duh. Can’t understand these crazy chinese signs that say the name of the brand. (lol, great way to promote your products in the Western Civilization, guys! :D)

I always wonder why the instant noodle-producers are always so honest to admit that it’s ARTIFICIAL flavour they make you put into your soup. When will these other pig capitalists of food industry eventually admit the artificiality of what they call hamburgers or other food and crap made of ‘chicken’, ‘beef’, other poop and shit and whatever, huuh?

Anyways, Imma supposed to write about ramen, so fuck that issue. I think I’m supposed to say something about the packaging... Thick high quality foil, bright colours, blah blah blah... Okay, I have to admit, the monster-cabbage on the front made me buy this pack of instant noodles because it just looked so epic. (If that’s supposed to be one Ö_ö)



There was a bag of pickled cabbage inside which I found very special, because normally you just get that bag of fart-dry vegetables as an extra beside one or two bags of smelly oil, flavour powder and maybe chili powder (the latter for the crank and hardcores).


The noodles (which (I think) are made of sweet potatoes) are super-thin and very soft in the broth which has a little spicyness that is bearable and actually even eatable. The pickled cabbage adds a special taste to the Ramen, kinda sour and salty. If you don’t know/like the taste, I advise you to better keep your hands off of these because that stuff tastes kinda strange and disturbing if you’re not used to it.

Rating: I actually found these noodles very yummy and satisfying. Because cabbage is freaking awesome. I fucking love cabbage. Hahaha. A-
