XXV. Yum Yum Curry Flavour


Brand: Yum Yum 
Name: Curry Flavour
Price: 0,35 €


Let me introduce you to one of my all-time favourite instant noodle soup: The Yum Yum Curry Flavoured Ramen. It's pure dope. It's addicting. It's the shit. I highly recommend it. It's not even that pricey, actually this is one of the cheapest Ramen in the market so every poor ass can afford this awesome SHIAT! Yaaaaay! 



Though it's cheap, and although it only contains one bag of flavouring, it's still amazing, and lemme warn you: It's pretty hot. Ok, only if you're a pussy, otherwise your nose will only get a little bit runny while/after eating. You can already smell that curry-ish smell from the powder. Which is yellow, and which smells amazing btw. Did I already mention that I love curry? :D



What the fuck, chunky things appear from nowhere in the soup!?!?!?! (°_____°) 
Lol OK, I added these from the left-over curry I had in my fridge, which my momah <3 made for me. It contained potatoes, deep-fried tofu and champignons. Just to make you jealous :P Such a fucking good curry AHAHAHHA. Look at the picture, the texture of the creamy curry, containing coconut milk and more awesome stuff, additionally created a broth more viscid and delicious and so much better than your lousy boiled water will ever get, MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
The noodles are very good, too, which apply to (fairly (?)) all Yum Yums out there. Perfectly salted, and very nice to chew, which means not too mushy, and not too hard, too. 
The broth is (imo) nicely spicy and eatable, and the hotness is just perfect, balancing deliciousness with pain. Ok, only the real pussys among you readers will feel pain. The others, and I am sure of that, will scream: 'Hell yeah, what a fucking awesome soup!!!' :D

Rating: Just look at that picture above. How can this not get an A+

XXIV. Vewong A-One Instant Nudelsuppe Vegetarisch



Brand: Vewong
Name: A-One Instant Nudelsuppe Vegetarisch
Price: ~0,50 €


Even if I wrote before that I won't post about boring A-One-Ramen anymore, I still have to mention this one: The vegetarian A-One Instant Ramen. Why? Read further and I'll tell you.



If the noodles weren't so cheap (talkin 'bout 35 ct cheap Yum Yums), in this case 50 cents, you can expect more than one crappy bag of flavouring. I never really thought about this, but maybe it tastes better the more flavour-containing sachets you get with your package. Hmmm...
Whatever.



Still looks boring as crap, though. No green stuff, either. The only good thing, before eating this, is the smell of the soup: pretty aromatic, but not that kind of hot or penetrant, but rather decent and aromatic. The noodles are okay, not bad, but also not overwhelming, not mushy, not too salty, too, and easy to engulf. 
The broth is really the highlight. If you try the soup, you can taste a range of the most delicious vegetable flavours of ramen soup world in your mouth, with mushroom flavour mostly dominating. The broth is just FUCKING delicious, I don't know how else I can describe it to show how FUCKING amazing it tastes. This one is definitely my favourite vegetarian Ramen. 

Rating: A (no A+ because the noodles could be better *nag nag like a real asian lady* xD)

XXXIII. MAMA Oriental Style Insant Noodle (Chand Clear Soup)



Brand: MAMA
Name: Oriental Style Insant Noodle (Chand Clear Soup)
Price: ?


I have to admit that I still don't have a fucking clue what 'Oriental Style' is supposed to be. But look at the picture above, the french description is 'PREPARATION ALIMENTAIRE À BASE DE RIZ', and entre parenthèses 'À L'ARÔME DE RIZ'. So 'Oriental Style' obviously must have something to do with rice. Does the soup taste like rice? No. Do the noodles taste like rice? Well, they're made out of rice, so they taste like rice... WTF I still don't get it. Entangled in question marks.


blah blah, Pho + powder + green stuff + fat + some strange fatty chunks


I somehow can't get used to that 'Oriental Style' flavour. We already had it here in the past (lol check the mark), and I doubt that I will ever get used to it. I still love Pho, though (you can read all about it here) and these noodles are pretty good, too. They are evenly soft, not too mushy, not too hard, pretty perfect I dare say, they don't even stick to your gums while chewing, like MAMA's Pho Ga.
And then, we have, on the other hand, the broth. Which tastes... crap. I can't describe it, I just didn't like it, the flavours and spices in the soup were pretty strange, not like the common Pho-broth with the cinammon, ginger, star anise, cloves, fish sauce... So pretty unaromatic. It was okay to eat, the noodles made up for the strange taste of the soup.
