XXX. A-One Mì Ly Vegetarian Flavour

Brand: A-One
Name: Mì Ly Vegetarian Flavour
Price: ?


Always wanted to know how vegetarians taste? Oh my gosh, this introduction is so whack, I'm gonna punish myself like Dobby. Ok, now I feel better.



If you do understand the German instructions on this cup, it tells you to do totally different things than the English text. Like the German exact amount of water, or the last part of puting more Chili powder into the soup before stiring and serving. At least everything was written correctly, in contrast to this crappy lovely blog, written by two owls. Yes, we are animals of the night, haha. WTF?!?!?!?! I'm obviously a little bit tired.


Three sachets for a lame, boring vegetarian, ramen, not bad...


After adding water to the noodles/powder/oily stuff/vegetable crap, there was a nice smell of Ramen in the air. After some time steeping and mindlessly staring at the cup for 3 minutes, the noodles were still kinda hard, which I noticed by poking them with my chopsticks, which I didn't like. They were al dente and chewable though in their consistence, tasting pretty much like fried noodles, being salty and neatly spiced. The broth tastes surprisingly good, mainly of mushrooms. What I kinda find strange right now is that I wrote on my notes (right after eating these noodles) that there were many vegetable flakes included. I don't see any vegetable flakes in this picture. OMG, what the... what happened?!?!?! WTF?!?!?!??! This is pretty disturbing... Ok, I obviously need some sleep I guess.

Rating: A-. Minus because they're a tad bit boring.

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?! -______-”)

II. Udon Noodles With Soup Base KIMCHI FLAVOUR

Hello!
This is Q.A's Udon review!
I know, first post of mine and already no ramen. xP

Anyways, I'll show my n00b of a sister, how a good posts looks like! Muhahahaha~

-

My review will be about these korean Udon Noodles. The brand is Bon Go Jang, I assume, and the noodles are called Udon Noodle Soup with Soup Base Kimchi Flavour!


The packaging is really nice. Hard foil, really nice pictures and I like the orange ombre coulour
Very pleasing to the eye, yes. ^^
Aaaaaaaand another reason I bought them is:


I will have long life!!! So awesome! I HAD to buy it! xD

What sucked, was the humongous sticker sticked on the back. The problem was, ON the sticker were NO cooking directions! And peeling it off was really a hassle, but there were at least english instructions underneath. How are non-english speakers suppose to eat this, huh?! Fail...


All the awesome stuff inside:


Let's go!
1. Boil 400ml of water in a pot.
Didn't have anything to measure the water. so I just filled half a pot. I'm a poor student ok? Why else would I life of of noodle soup. If I had money, I would be eating fast food everyday!


Boiling water, check!
2. Put noodles, soup base and kimchi block into boiling water and cook for two minutes.


(I failed at ripping it open properly so I had to use scissors to cut it open. -.-'')

(Very weird block of shock dried kimchi... I'm still not sure, what that block was... o.O)

(Well, after some cooking it melted into something kimchi-like.)

Alright!
3. Stir well and serve.

(Delicously boiling soup. *___*)

If you're asking, yes, I most of the time eat out of the pot. I don't want to wash an extra bowl, ok?!
Ok, the noodles are pretty chewy. I' more used to soft Udon, so it was a little weird... maybe I should have cooked them longer... then again, 2 minutes were written on the package. >.<
The broth, is really good! It isn't too salty and has the nice sour kimchi taste to it and a slight hottness, which is totally bearable. I really like it! I will give it a A-!

I. Artificial Pickled Cabbage Fish Flavour



Brand: ??? (sum chinese signs I can’t understand lol)
Name: Artificial Pickled Cabbage Fish Flavour
Price: ?


Woohooooo, time for the first review!!! I’m too unmotivated to write some epic introduction stuff. Duh. Can’t understand these crazy chinese signs that say the name of the brand. (lol, great way to promote your products in the Western Civilization, guys! :D)

I always wonder why the instant noodle-producers are always so honest to admit that it’s ARTIFICIAL flavour they make you put into your soup. When will these other pig capitalists of food industry eventually admit the artificiality of what they call hamburgers or other food and crap made of ‘chicken’, ‘beef’, other poop and shit and whatever, huuh?

Anyways, Imma supposed to write about ramen, so fuck that issue. I think I’m supposed to say something about the packaging... Thick high quality foil, bright colours, blah blah blah... Okay, I have to admit, the monster-cabbage on the front made me buy this pack of instant noodles because it just looked so epic. (If that’s supposed to be one Ö_ö)



There was a bag of pickled cabbage inside which I found very special, because normally you just get that bag of fart-dry vegetables as an extra beside one or two bags of smelly oil, flavour powder and maybe chili powder (the latter for the crank and hardcores).


The noodles (which (I think) are made of sweet potatoes) are super-thin and very soft in the broth which has a little spicyness that is bearable and actually even eatable. The pickled cabbage adds a special taste to the Ramen, kinda sour and salty. If you don’t know/like the taste, I advise you to better keep your hands off of these because that stuff tastes kinda strange and disturbing if you’re not used to it.

Rating: I actually found these noodles very yummy and satisfying. Because cabbage is freaking awesome. I fucking love cabbage. Hahaha. A-
