XXXIX. NONGSHIM HooRooRooK Noodle Soup

Hello!
Long time no see! It's the years end and I would have felt kinda bad, if I havent posted at least on the last day. xD
So here is one of my rare, but full of quality review with pretty, high quality pictures on this special noodle soup in this pretty packaging! Enjoy! :D

 It's the NONGSHIM HooRooRooK Noodle Soup from Korea! What an awesome name, for an awesome noodle soup in such an awesome designed package! *A*

It was love, the moment I set eyes on these in the store! ♥

The noodles are light and thin. I believe they are somen noodles.

With it comes three super cute and pretty little sachets. One with soup paste, soup base and seasoning flakes. ^^

Unfortunately the text was in korean, which I can't read, but look at those cute pictures (and that cute nail of mine! xD)

I'm sure, the text is cute too... err...

You have to cook it in boiling water for about 5 minutes for the noodles to be soft. So it's unfortunately not for the lazy ones...

Add the pink soup base and vegetables from the white satchet and make it boil! :D

When putting in the vegetable it smells of seaweed. *____*

Contains bits of cucmber, chilli, bambus, leek and more...

When cooked, it should look like this. (I'm drooling like stupid, while writing this right now at midnight. -.-'')

After you put it in the bowl, you add the soup paste, from the small blue satchet.

The soup sauce, is like a mix of soy sauce and sesame oil, and has such an awesome smell! *A*

It has perfect chewynessa and is sooooooooo delicous, words can't describe it!!! *________*

It's like real korean noodle soup, if you have been to korea and have eaten one!

Slight spicyness and a little sesame smell makes it even more delicous and authentic.

This noodle soup definately has potential to look like the picture. Awesome! :D

Seriously, this is more than your simple three-minute-waiting-and-mindless-chugging-in-your-stomach-noodle-soup. THIS IS SO MUCH MORE! A soup, so rich in flavours and really close to original korean-restaurant-soup, you will love it! ♥

XXXVIII. NONG SHIM Hot & Spicy AnSungTangMyun Ramyun

Brand: NONG SHIM
Name: Hot & Spicy AnSungTangMyun Ramyun
Price: 1,20 €

It is said that eating hot food is supposed to warm you up from the inside, so perfect for winter, right?

So I tested this one especially on its hotness and the amount of nose water that it produces. Read futher for the result, biotches! Don't only look at the pictures! (Ò__Ó)

This was a 'FUUUUUCK-my-bowl-is-too-small'-moment, which often occurs when eating Korean instant noodles, haha, those bloody huge big-ass noodle bricks -.-"

So I broke the brick in four extremely symmetrical pieces, (hahaha what a badass I am), and poured the red powder above it. The flavouring didn't smell hot, to be honest, it smelled like bolognese-sauce. That made me very curious about the broth.

It turned out that it was pretty hot, but eatable. Well at least for me. It was painful in a good way, I even needed a glass of water to calm down the burning, which I don't often do, only with my momah's thai green curry actually. 

The thing is: The slowlier you drink the soup, the more it will burn. So don't just take a mouthful to swallow, because that made me cough like an idiot. You gotta down the soup all the way, that's what I did, and it was strangely less hot to eat these ramen like that. The noodles are not that spicy, so if you really can't drink the broth no more because you're a weak-ass mollycoddle, eat the noodles, but I'm afraid they will also be too hot for you, wimp.

Beside the hotness, there is only saltyness, and the noodles are, like almost all Korean instant noodles, just okay, not too salty, but rather boring. But the hotness thing is really worth trying this one out.

XXXVII. NONG SHIM Kimchi Ramyun

Brand: NONG SHIM
Name: Kimchi Ramyun
Price: 1,20 €

Hi, dear readers, if you actually exist, it's been a while since this blog was updated, my apologies for that, because the bloggers are two lazy asses aka. students.

Anyways, we get to eat a lot of ramen like this, us being poor ass students who never have enough time to cook or go shopping for fresh and healthy food, or even get their asses up to go to lectures at university, HIGH FIVE SIS!!!

This big pack of Korean ramen was pretty appealing to me, because I FUCKING LOVE Korean food, and  Kimchi. Hell yeah. Ok, picspam now.

I like the noodles, they're round... x3 The dried stuff in the clear sachet looks pretty unidentifiable, though...

et voilá, doesn't this look amazing? Kimchi frezzles everywhere, carotte slices, leek, some other brown crap ehh stuff, and a nicely red-coloured broth, what you, unfortunately, can't see on the pictures.

The noodles are okay, a little bit weird in my opinion, because they are kinda mushy on the outside and hard inside as well, but maybe you have to decide for yourself, I found them eatable actually. The taste of the soup was pretty disappointing actually: It was just salty, not hot, not even spicey. But what disappointed me the most was the lack of Kimchi-flavour. I fucking bought Kimchi-Ramen, where is my Kimchi-flavour? The sour and hot taste of that, at least, but no, this broth was just as drowsy as Lana del Rey's voice. These dried vegetable pieces left me utterly dissatisfied, I have to say.

XXXVI. Wai Wai Instant noodles - vegetarian

Brand: Wai Wai
Name: Instant noodles - vegetarian
Price: 0,39 €

Fuck the EXP-date, I ate it half a year later without dying

We already reviewed Wai Wai's normal 'oriental style' Ramen here, which was pretty shitty, but read the review for yourself. This time, it's the vegetarian version, and I was at first not really sure if this ramen would  be also an insult to human taste buds. The package is already shitty, because the colours don't even suggest that the ramen is vegetarian/with vegetable flavour, while all the other brands have green packages. Yum Yum has, Indo Mie has, Vina AceCOCK has, just to mention a few. So don't mistake this vegetarian one with the NORMAL Wai Wai, because you will regret having bought the wrong sort that sucks.

The chili-sachet looks so cute, don't you think so, too? :3

I added some left-over fried vegetable/food/wintermelon/tofu/peanut-stuff which improved the taste of this soup so fucking much. But beside that, the soup is not even that bad. It's actually quite good, I have to admit. The noodles were nice, pretty perfect in their consistence, and the broth is nicely flavoured, too. Even after putting in the fried extra stuff that YOU DON'T HAVE (HAR HAR HAR!), the broth wasn't too salty or whatever, it still tasted amazing.
