XXI. Nissin Demae Ramen Japanese Noodlesoup prawn Flavour



Brand: Nissin
Name: Demae Ramen Japanese Noodlesoup prawn Flavour
Price: ?


This Ramen has a super cute pink package, which was the reason why I bought it I have to confess =D



I can't remember the price anymore, but I believe that these noodles belong  to a rather more pricey category (not the cheap 30 cents-Yum Yum, if you know what I mean), thus why I was surprised to only find just one sachet of powder included in here.



On the photos these noodles look pretty nice, but I have to admit that when I ate them I was pretty hungover and therefore can't really recall the taste anymore oTL. Yeah people, alcohol is not good for you hahaha. I would say it tastes okay because I managed to finish my bowl, which I wouldn't have if the Ramen would taste shit. I think I ate them really quick, too, meaning they were even pretty good or myself nearly dying of starvation in that crapulence state. Or both.

XX. MAMA Rice Noodles with Artificial Chicken Flavour



Brand: MAMA
Name: Rice Noodles with Artificial Chicken Flavour
Price: 1,50 €


Pho is probably the most known and most famous noodle soup of Vietnam, an actually pretty simple dish with delicious flat white rice noodles that feel smooth and sleek in your mouth, and meat broth companied by Chicken or Beef (phở gà = with Chicken, phở bò = with Beef; dear Marisha Pessl, you got that wrong in your novel Special Topics in Calamity PhysicsJust sayin'. Great book though). You also add tons of other fresh ingredients such as chili, lemon juice, and lots and lots of herbs, to make it so complete and perfect tasting. Even Matt Heafy, lead singer of Trivium and easily the hottest guy on earth, is crazy about Pho (check his blog if you want to try real good and fresh Vietnamese stuff in Seattle). OMG, can you please get divorced and marry me, you smokin' hot motherf*****? Haha, just joking. No, actally I'm not. -_- (Sorry, didn't mean to insult you, I just fucking want a baby from you har har)


clumpy flavouring oil, a powder sachet and another ugly plastic fork
picspaaaaam

If you don't have the chance or occasion to have freshly cooked Pho, I recommend this Instant Pho which is pretty delicous and satisfying if you are craving for it. The noodles are very thin which I like a lot, but if you eat them too cold or too slow they will taste weird in that cooled state, kinda brashly and floury, especially if they stick to your gums, because they are so flat OTL. The broth is pretty good, also, perfectly salted, pretty close to that typical Pho soup broth taste which you might have tried before if you are a cool person that is interested in Vietnamese food :D. There are also some weird Chicken (flavoured) chunks (not sure if it's real chicken Ö.ö), maybe to make up for the fact that the soup doesn't really taste like chicken, and dried vegetable pieces which make the soup not look totally boring. So thumbs up on this one!

XIX. Indo Mie Mi Goreng

Guess who's back!!!
After going through hell during July studying for the exams I'm finally back!
And don't worry, during that whole time, I've been living off on noodles soup, which will be rated here now! :D

First in the game is a continuation of my last post here, if you happen to have forgotten about me... :'(
This is only Mi Goreng by Indo Mie from Indonesia.


Obligatory pic of the package, same as the BBQ one, but white. 

Instuctions. Read them! (Especially you, my dumb sis!!!) D<

Again, mix your shits together until...

...it looks like actual shit. Really greasy and shiny shit! o.O

Put microwave-boiled noodles on the plate and stir!!!
Then sprinkle noodle with fried onions from the package and nom away! >w<


So, how was it? (Fortunately I made notes, while eating, which is how I can remember now, duh!)
Fried Noodles? Well, they are more like oily noodles. Really oily and 
lovely shinee... *____*
The only good thing about this thing are the noodles, which have the right chewyness and take on the flavour, aka shit paste, pretty good. :3
It tastes artificially sweet and kinda boring after 3 bites. -.-
Unfortunately it's not really something special. I won't be salivating like mad thinking about it or would want to eat it again.... actually I feel like puking thinking about this dish. D8
Fried onion is not bad… also sweet, tastes actually kinda fried, but I'm still suspicious, about what that stuff really is! >.<
The mark is a C


Here's what I did after three bites and got bored:


Much better and you can eat all up, without having to retch every five bites! :D
Be creative and safe you meal!!!

XVIII. MAMA Artificial Duck Flavour Base Ramen Instant Bamie



Brand: MAMA
Name: Artificial Duck Flavour Base Ramen Instant Bamie
Price: ?


This one... I actually bought it because I liked the package with the tasty duck haunch on it. And also because there was Broccoli on it. And I FUCKING love Broccoli to death. Well yeah, as if it was really included in the package FML. So I ate this noodle soup and after I told my sister I tried this one, she said to me something I will never ever forget in my entire life: ‘Never eat duck cuz it always tastes like sh**’.



This soup is no exception. But the main point of critique is not about the duck flavour, which is actually pretty okay (I have to note that I don’t hate duck flavour and don’t think it always tastes like sh**), it’s the noodles. These noodles are slightly different from normal ramen noodles. They are a little bit broader, and when you cook it, they will have a really weird, almost slimey and hard-bitten consistence that makes this ramen so aweful. Maybe these noodles aren't meant to be in a soup because they are really badly soaked up in the broth which probably adds to the balefully slimyness. Maybe the package tries to take the piss out of everybody who buys it by pretending it's a soup, when in reality it is  a fried noodle dish or something like that. Very weird IMO.  Just try it. See for yourself if I was right. This soup is merely eatable. *shivers*

XVII. iMee Vegetable flavour



Brand: iMee
Name: Instant Noodles Vegetable Flavour
Price: 0,89 €


Hi (Have I ever greeted you in any former posts? Don't think so. Hahah something is fucking wrong with me today I believe).
I have to make two annoucements:

1. My sister is on an indefinable hiatus. Simply because she is busy with playing Final Fantasy X, that lazy bum, haha. I'm sorry guys, I hope it's okay for you to get just one post weekly.
Maybe she reads this and gets her ass up to post somehing. Dude, I know you can, Unnie. Get a grip on yourself, you glib!!!
2. I realized that some pictures of my older posts keep disappearing. Which really fucking pisses me off. But I don't have the time and the nerves to run around and look for these soups to take pictures again, because I am also a lazy bum. So I decided to do nothing. If you are still craving for some pictures, you little shitheads, post a comment and I will draw you something. *sigh* 
Over and out.



The noodles were very poor, soft, but weird when being chewed. It's like they are falling apart in your mouth and emit more flour to turn it into a slightly disgusting flakey-dry mash. No fun eating them. That's why I couldn't enjoy the broth, also. I guess it was so unspectacular that I forgot the taste. Nothing special here for a further mention. At least it killed my hunger for some hours.

Rating: D+. That means almost eww.
