XVI. VEWONG A-One Instant Noodlesoup Chicken Flavour


Brand: VEWONG
Name: A-One Instant Noodlesoup Chicken Flavour
Price: 0,50 €



Boring. Simply BOOOOOOOOOORING!!! I won’t review these normal A-One Ramen again in the future. There’s not much to say about it. High quality package, nice colours,... I think I will stop writing about these fucking packages, too, who cares about them anyway. It’s all rubbish, and after you have taken everything from the inside, you just throw it away like trash. Lol.


check out mah sexy Barbie bowl xD
I tried to get the dry noodles into a bowl too small, so I tried to break that bitch into little pieces. I ended up sweeping the entire kitchen floor. Asshole. Yeah, I’m talking to you, you brick of a noodle.



 There is not much to say about the taste. Common chicken flavour, nothing special, a little bit too plain. The noodles I cooked were still quite a little bit too unsoft for me to like them, but maybe the water I used was too cold or I just didn’t get it right because I just came back at 1 PM from partying, having a maleficent hangover and the cold disgusting feeling of abandoness when I realized there was no food but Instant Noodles in da house. Well, at least the green stuff on top makes the soup look a little bit less boring than it really tastes.

XV. Vina Acecook Oh! Ricey Instant Porridge Artificial Chicken flavour



Brand: Vina Acecook
Name: Oh! Ricey Instant Porrigde Artificial Chicken flavour
Price: ?


 Yay, here comes the first Instant Porridge review!!! Why am I reviewing porridge? Because it came in a small bright plastic pack, too, and I was too dumb to recognize that there was no hard brick of noodle inside!!! :D



 Well, what can I say? No extra toy, boring rice flakes, boring powder and sauce bags... Porridge is like the 3 minutes you have to wait until your instant meal is done. Plain and boring.

           

This  porridge though has a really nice chicken flavour. Really rich and aromatic, and not even too obviously artificial tasting. The porride’s consistence is pretty weird though: It’s like slimy mash slash chunky slime. But I kinda like stuff like that. I’m a sucker for weird food. ;P

Rating: Pretty good if you’re craving for chicken and don’t have teeth/are too lazy to kill/buy/cook chicken intricately, or for whatever reason that doesn’t bother me. A- (though it’s not ramen and actually WTF is this one doing here anyways?! -______-”)

XIV. Samyang Hot & Spicy Beef Flavour Ramen Sutah



Brand: Samyang
Name: Sutah Hot & Spicy Beef Flavour Ramen
Price: ?


This one is a guest review by my dad. Korean instant noodle packages tend to be bigger than the noodle soups from other countries. Why is that so? I have no fucking clue. But it's pretty nice haha. lol

Does anybody know the moment when you open up the sachet with the flavour powder and pour it over your noodles and accidentally breathe in the little dust particles flying around and get a sneezing flash? I immediately knew that this soup is going to be so fucking hot. My daddy had to eat them, though, haha. Phheeeew.
Vegetable was also included.



After my dad ate it, I asked him how it was. He said it was a little bit spicy. But he seemed okay. =D

XIII. Yum Yum Wasabi flavour



Brand: Yum Yum
Name: Wasabi flavour
Price: 0,35 €


Here's a review of some Ramen by one of the most famous noodle soup brands in the world, Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum looooooooooooool. They just recently put out a new flavour on the market that I immediately had to try after seeing it. Sounds very strange and freaky to put Wasabi into your Ramen. As if you could put all kind of crazy japanese food stuff together and it would go well with each other and harmonize and taste super yummy. I had to check that. So here we go.


'Hey, Steve-O, the Wasabi that you snorted is now also available in powder-form!'
Keepin' it simple with just one sachet of powder, it was quite disappointing for me at first sight though. Like when you open a present for Christmas and the inside is just lousy (and maybe crappy, too). You get the point? Disappointment.
(The block of ramen is very delicious btw when you eat it like that without cooking, munching it down like a hamburger or something like that. Crispy and salty and yummy. In case you don't have other snacks around.)


I did cook it, though
If you expected this soup to be very hot and fucking spicey, I have to disappoint you. This soup actually is one big disappointment. The Wasabi flavour was authentic, though, but not very outstanding so that the soup had a flair of 'Oh crap I dropped some Wasabi into my Ramen broth (that was simply salty water before) and it kinda tastes weird but okay because I love weird food and will finish this somehow though I might puke from it after the first three bites that I did find so delicious though'. Maybe that's a good point, also. I didn't have the need to puke because the Wasabi flavour was so weak, I was simply bored eating this. And disappointed.

Well, Yum Yum noodles still are pretty awesome, they're always soft, firm to the bite and delicious. It's just the broth that turned this one into such a big disappointment. 

Rating: Count the word disappoinment in this review. This soup earns a C

XII. Vina Acecook good Chicken Flavour

Hello!
This is a guestreview by our friend Tram!
It's actually an answer to this post by my sister.



Brand: Vina Acecook (<- a vietnamese brand!)
Name: good artificial chicken flavour
Price: I don't know. It was a gift 8D

LOLz. Well hello everyone! I'm not a regular blogger instantnoodleseater but I needed to convince my fellow name-mates that these noodles taste better than the one they tried. So I'm here to write this review for you guys. (side-note: my name actually fits really well to this blog, just sayin' :P)


As seen on the other review the packaging is similar, the only difference being the yellow color instead of the green one. I don't know why but chicken flavoured instant noodles are always yellow o_O (as seen by MAMA, YUMYUM, etc.). Of course the picture doesn't show spare ribs but the noodle soup with some chicken meat on it. Quite disturbing might I add because there is no meat in the actual package :<


Let's move on to the instructions:
Add 400ml boiled water to a bowl in which you have already put the noodles and the soup powder.
(I always skip the vegetables because they don't really add any improvement to the soup and taste like nothing, so why bother putting it in? I'm a lazy person okay?) I have to admit I only poured 250ml water because otherwise the taste would be gone and everything would be just watery and shitty.
So.
Here is what it looks like, still boiling.


After it's done boiling we can finally begin eating. The soup tastes really well, kinda salty but also quite spicy. I really like the taste of it and I think it's much better than the spare rips one. I usually like the chicken flavoured soups more for example I prefer Pho Ga (A vietnamese noodle soup) to Pho Bo (Same but with beef flavour). Anyways. As already mentioned the taste is really really nice, a good mixture of salty and spicy - and you can always make it less salty by reducing the amount of soup poweder 

The noodles are... well not as soft as glass noodles are supposed to be; IF you ever tried the real glass noodles you know what I mean - but they are okay. Maybe I should have left them in the hot water a bit longer, but I'm always so hungry and impatient >3<

SO ... I give it a B+

I'll run to my local asia market and grab some more instant noodles now Ò^Ó
until next time ^O^//

XI. Nong Shim Chapagetti



Brand: NONG SHIM
Name: Chapagetti
Price: 1,20 €


 What I love most about Korea besides way too perfect plastic idols, funky crazy music with crappy funny Engrish, Kimchi, Soju, undergroundseoul.tumblr.com and seoulnightlife.tumblr.com is this one: Chapagetti. I dunno why they call it Chapagetti here, it’s actually Jajangmyun, the famous black bean noodle dish of Dae Han Min Guk.  Ahhhhh, Korean food is just simply freaking awesome.



I also kinda like how aesthetic the round brick of uncooked yellow noodles look. Fits perfectly in the bowl. Omg that is SOOOOOOOOO COOL!!! <(*O*)>

Note that this is a different level from cooking normal boring ramen: You have to cook the noodles and the vegetable first, pour out the water without losing too much of the little asshole-vegetable chunks and then add the powder and oil. If you mess up, you’re a loser and your Chapagetti will taste crap.


mash dat shiat thoroughly
It actually looks kinda like crap. But when I first screwed up my courage and tried it, it was like heaven, like having an orgasm in my mouth. The taste is so heavenly, but it’s pretty hard to describe, it’s kinda... like... smoked, sweet, aromatic, ... screw that, I really can’t describe it. Just try it. It’s really worth it.
