Hello, dear readers, followers and random people that got lost in the Internet to stumble across this blog. I rose from the dead to, eh, blog. Sorry for keeping you waiting. (=_____=)"

This ramen here was actually a birthday present from my sister. No, wait.... could it be that she even gave me that before? I really can't remember. Well, anyways, here's the review:

First of all, I have to admit that, after eating these noodles, I thought I was having no fucking clue what Tương tàu actually is. I even googled it to make sure that Tương tàu is actually what I though it was before. It's a salty sauce made of black beans, containing whole pieces of them, too. What I went through here though was... pretty unexpected, I should say.

Only by opening the pack and seeing that it contained TWO(!!!!) packs of glutamate made me go like whuad. I even assumed that this soup must taste pretty decent if it contains so much glutamate. The bag down left I threw away immediately, it was chili. The one above contained a preeeeeeeeeeeeeetty strange oil/mass/fat portion, with little dark crumbs of something I cannot identify. One could suppose it was the black beans, but... go on reading, I'm still traumatised, actually...

here it still looks good, because I haven't tasted it yet

The red oil on the surface wasn't spicy, this soup wasn't spicy at all. At the beginning it tasted kinda sourish, later the broth is just salty, and very plain. I didn't taste any black beans at all, I have to admit. And I didn't even taste the two bags of glutamate! The broth was a 3/10.

And then, this popped up:

These curious dark, round crumbs. They looked like pepper, but they aren't. They tasted salty, which did remind me of black bean sauce though. But were crunchy. The crunchy type that, if you eat chicken drumsticks and come to the thinner lower side, you come upon some kind of darker bone stuff that is softer than actual bone and taste of nothing, but if you accidently chew it, it will stick between your teeth. Can anybody relate? Well it sounds pretty weird but these crumps reminded me of that.... I even tried to figure out what that was by looking it up on the ingredients, but..... I found nothing. This is so fucking suspicious, I tell ya.


Rating: I would not recommend this Ramen to you since I find it so suspicious and odd... Can somebody maybe tell me what that the black crumbs really are? Does anybody know? Oh my god, WHAT DID I JUST EAT?!?!??!?! (/;  A ;)/ (D)

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)

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.
