X. Mi Goreng Rasa Ayam Panggang


Hello!
I'm effin' busy with exams coming up, but my sister (again) pestered me until I'm lying here in bed typing this now. -.-''
This is a review on Indo Mie Instant Noodles called Mi Goreng Rasa Ayam Panggang aka Barbeque Chicken Flavour Fried Noodles. JUMBO!!!
Made in Indonesia.


I was really intrigued in trying these, after me and my sister found out, you should make them in the MICROWAVE!!! *A*
So why don't you accompany me on my journey making this noodle dish!



Electric blue package! Thin and a little bit see through.

Clear instructions and easy to do. I can read some of the chinese letters, but habe vo idea of the context. -.-''

Okee... even my BIG bowl isn't big enough. This is a really big noodle brick. Oh, and it comes with A LOT of sachets...

After finding an appropriate container, for that big noodle brick, you have to add the veggies and water.
Then put it in the microwave. Instruction says, for 3 minutes in 850 Watt on HIGH mode. 
I did, but they were still hard, so I put them in again for 2 minutes for them to become edible. 

Meanwhile you mis all the remaining sachets on a plate. Left: Sweet soy sauce. Yummy! Right: Oil-something mix. o.O

Add the flavour powder into it and stir...
(I didn't add the chilli package, because it suspiciously reminded me of red saw dust and tasted like that too...)

...until it looks like this. I know what you are thinking, ok?! Dx

After draining the noodles and veggies, you pour it to your err... sauce-whatever-mix. -.-''

Stir well and you are done!!! :D
Looks a lot better now, right?



Ok, I have to admit I was on the verge of keening over from starving, so I liked those noodles A LOT. xD
The noodles are a little chewy, but after eating for a while, it's ok. They take on the flavour pretty well.
The taste is sweet and salty. Very rich flavour, almost salty. All noodles with supposedly BBQ taste, tend to taste weirdly sweet... seems like it's a tipycal way to interprete BBQ flavour. >.<
BUT after eating it, I had a weird taste on my tongue and it felt kinda numb... o___O
Very weird indeed.
Another downside to these kind of noodles are, that they turn cold pretty fast. =.=
After a while, it gets kinda boring to eat, so I add my favourite chilli sauce with garlic! Thanks Mommy!!! *____*




I don't like giving very bad marks, unlike my sister, because they are still very edible, so the mark is a B-

IX. Vina Acecook good artificial spareribs flavour


Brand: Vina Acecook
Name: good artificial spareribs flavour
Price: 0,60 €


This time we have a review with vermicelli noodles. (WTF, why does that word sound so Italian? xD) The packaging looks very nice, with a sample picture on the front advising how the noodle soup could actually look like and what you should add/put on top of it to make them a more delicious and healthy meal and just pimp that lousy crap that’s actually inside the package.




The glass noodles are unregularely thick, and the fat ones don’t get soft at all in the boiled water but stay hard, which is a minus. The artificial spareribs flavour tastes too artificial, just really weird and strange, not like spareribs at all. The taste is not even close to any kind of meat flavour, well, at least not the ones I know. (-____________-)'' There are also some mini tofu chunks included in the vegetable bag. They have a specific taste, and I really can’t tell what they are doing in the soup, if that flavour is supposed to add some special taste to the soup (which already tastes crap), or if it’s to make the clear soup look less boring under the green herb stuff, or if it’s an attemp to interpret/imitate/impersonate the spareribs. I find it very disturbing.

Rating: Though the name is good, I didn’t find them good at all. D

VIII. BON GO JANG Udon Noodles with Soup Base Kimchi Flavour (part 2)

(Both my sister and I have reviewed these noodles. Check out her review here: http://qtramenreview.blogspot.de/2012/05/ii-udon-noodles-with-soup-base-kimchi.html. Note the ratings at the end haha.)


Brand: BON GO JANG
Name: Udon Noodles with Soup Base Kimchi Flavour
Price: ?





A fat and big colorful package with a nice fat bowl of noodles on the front, high-quality thick wrapping foil, noodles also wrapped in a plastic bag. Anyways, I don’t have a freaking clue what ‘no refrigeration’, ‘LONG LIFE’ and ‘no preservation’ on the package means and how these things are connected with each other and the noodle soup. Maybe my brain can’t analyze the logical meaning behind this as well. A freaking riddle. How disturbing.


Y U produce so much waste, Bon Go Jang-shi, you befoul mother earth!!! D:


What’s also quite disturbing is the shock-frozen/fart-dry brick of Kimchi that first got me thinking it had to be a bad joke.



After finishing boiling and waiting, I tried the soup and thought there were suddenly stripes of plastic foil in my fucking broth. But it turned out to be the ‘Kimchi’, or at least what tried to be Kimchi or to act like Kimchi or to fool people by making them think it’s Kimchi. So disturbing, tastes like rubbish in my soup. The broth is pretty disappointing, too, not spicy enough, plain, flavourless and insipid.
Well, the only good thing left to say maybe is about the Udon noodles. Fat, white and soft. But they deserve to be bathing in a more delicious soup. Though the colour is actually pretty nice. But the rest is still crap.

Rating: Unnie, this soup looks so expensive and was so disappointing! D+

VII. Instant Noodles With Onion Flavour

Dayum!!!
I loooooooooooooooove onion!!! And this is my A+++++ choice of Instant Noodles! *_____*
Enough said.
A quick blogpost, because my sister urged me too. I'm actually a very busy person right now, with exams coming up next month. TT^TT

Ok, the are called Instant Noodles With Onion Flavour in 4 different languages (english, german, french and dutch) on the package, with chinese letters I cannot read, little japanese ones underneath, which I also cannot read and french 'Saveur d'oignon' and 'soupe chinoise' which I should be able to read.
A very multicultural Noodle Soup, as you can see, which is actually a product from Taiwan!
Unfortunately I have no idea, what the brand name is... maybe that red, round logo on the left? o.O''
Thanks to our reader, I know now, that the brand is called Weilih Food! :D

 No onion on the package, but a lot of onion words. But look at those cute bowls, above each other... and that other bowl with the chinese pattern... Anyway, i kinda like the design. Simple, not too colourful, but still artsy. xP

Instructions are also in 4 languages. And you can't see it very well, and didn't take a close-up shot, but there are even instructions as pictures. So cute! x3
Oh, did I mention, that the package comes in sexy see-through, which is the new trend nowadays? ;)

This is how it looks, unwatered. I had to break the noodles, since my large bowl isn't that large.
And yes, me and my sister have the same bowls. Mass-bought by our lovely mum in Vietnam. She is actually also our sponsor, since she gifts us most of the noodles. xD

This is how it looks ready-to-eat. Not really mindblowing, huh?
Just your regular noodle soup. -.-
But, there is a solution to it!

Add canned quaileggs and wan tan, also made by my lovey mum (Thank you so much! >3<), and you have a delicous, good-looking meal! No? xP

Fantastic food:
It's super fantastic, yummy, sooooooo delicous!
Oh, you want a more accurate review? Ok, here it goes:
The noodles are soft really quick, so you don't have to starve too long. And are thich and of good quality. They don't get soggy at all, even if you eat for hours, distracted by youtube or facebook.
The taste, is a sweet onion taste. Not spicy at all. Might be weird for other people, but i loooooooove it! I love everything sweet anyway. xP
It also smells really nice like cooked onions. 
It's of course a salty dish, but has a perfect sweetness to eat, with a not too importunate onion flavour.
I ♥ it. A+++++

VI. Vifon Hủ tiếu Nam Vang


Brand: Vifon
Name: Oriental Style Instant Rice Noodles 'Phnom Penh' Style
Price: 0,50 €

  

Hủ tiếu is a famous and typical traditional dish of Cambodia that Vietnamese and Thai people also eat because of the many Khmer people over there. Thats what Wikipedia says. Here's the link for the smart asses who are actually interested in reading something about that issue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hu_tieu. I have to admit I had no fucking clue what the difference between Pho and Hu tieu is, though I'm vietnamese. I actually still don't habe a fucking clue. But who cares, noodles are noodles and soup is goddamn soup, brah.We all s*** the same, there is no difference!!!



There were the usual bags of powder, fat, vegetable/weird tofu chunks and also one with dried little onion pieces inside. Maybe it was garlic, couldn't really tell the difference though. I thought those would give this soup a special awesome taste, but it tasted crap. Like little splints of something that is everything else but onion. Or garlic.



The taste of the broth is pretty weird, too, like semi-frowsty vegetable stock. Kinda couldn't get along well with these flavours. The noodles weren't that satisfying, too, unevenly thick and hence not evenly soft. They also had a strange pale-grey shade, but the slippery feeling they made me feel on my tongue was kinda awesome hahahah. At least one good point.


Rating: Because this noodle soup didn't really overwhelm me and its taste is kinda special and distinct, I suggest ya'll try this out on your own, maybe ya'll like this more than I did. C-

V. Kailo Instant Noodles Beef Flavour



Brand: Kailo Brand
Name: Instant Noodles Beef Flavour
Price: ?


This Ramen comes in an orange bowl that is an asshole that almost ripped off my nail when I tried to open it. I was at the edge of starving when I wanted to eat it back then, and maybe probably too stupid to seperate the lid from the bowl without completely destroying everything entirely. That’s what I thought, facing that motherfucker.

I still made it, though it looks like I used a knife to cut out the lid. Which I really didn’t. I swear to god. =D



Anyways, the special extra add-on this time iiiiiiiiiis ... an idiot stupid PLASTIC FORK!!! Because it’s so much more easier to scoop the noodles and put it all the way up to your mouth without losing them and dropping them into the soup to splash all over your nice white freshly washed T-Shirt. Using the fork is also so much more helpful with the broth, because forks are ESPECIALLY made for eating water and soup and other liquid stuff. You guys get the point, I fucking love plastic forks.

There is no picture of the cooked noodles because I was starving and I forgot to take one. And anyways, they all do look the same, really. The noodles are very delicious, soft and thin and curly, and it almost feels like they make love to your tongue when they slide accross the inside of your mouth. The broth tastes awesomely like beef. Well, tasty artificial beef flavour, that is. But not bad at all. 

I think I have to make one thing clear: I never put in the extra chili powder. Why? Because I’m a pussy. And without having put any extra spicyness in here, this soup was so hot that it got my nosewater drippin’. Hahaha. I almost died. Seriously.

Rating: This Ramen earns a B+ because eating them almost killed me, but they were way too delicious to be wasted. Really hardcore, but super-yummy!

IV. Bowl Noodle Soup Hot&Spicy

Hello!
This is another post by Q.A!
Since my sister doesn't have access to a computer during work days, I'm in charge of updating, but... I forgot (and was lazy). Sorry! OTL


Ok, so this is a review on Nongshim's Bowl Noodle Soup Hot&Spicy. Another korean noodle soup! :D
It comes in a plastic bowl, where you only have to pour water in. Super convenient for lazy people like me! One bowl less to wash! Yeah!!! ^O^


 (What's quiet surprising is, that the end-result actually looks like what's in the picture printed on it for once. o.O)

 (Clear and good to see instructions.)

 (No complicated 20 sachets of artificial whatsoever. Just one Powder Soup bag.)

 (Open lid to the half, pour boiling water in, close it and wait 3min...)

 (Open, stir it and you have a delicious meal! ^^)


The eating:
It's super delicious! Perfect spicyness (, because I only put in 3/4 of the soup powder. :P)
The noodles have a yummy soft consistency. 
A lot of funny stuff in there: Your obligatory leek/green stuff/grass/whatever, you see those raddish like things in the picture above? It's actually fish cake. Well, it tastes fishy and is chewy soft. Same with the round yellow things.
I just had one problem. I remember loving these noodles, because there was Uzumaki inside, but i couldn't find any!!!
BUT:



After i was almost done, ONE popped up. I feel so cheated! Last time I ate it, there were at least 4! Dx


It's still super delicous, so I'll give it a A+!!!
