48. Yum Yum Kimchi Flavour


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

why is this picture so fucking crappy jolted?!?
Lately I get the feeling that the noodle soups I eat get more and more whack, effecting the posts in this blog that get equally more and more whack. What can I say? How can I apologize for that? I don't know. Maybe if I upload some pictures where my ass looks nice, hahahahaha. (That's what he said.) Well, who cares anyways? 
(=.=)





Just one pack of powder, and the powder looks not even red, but orange. After pouring boiling water and waiting...


...it just looks like any other Yum Yum noodle soup. So boring. The noodles taste pretty unspectacularly like any other Yum Yum noodles: salty, not that bad, not that outstanding either. 
The broth was quite a thing: If you expect to find any Kimchi or Kimchi flavour in here, I must tell you, my friend, that you're barking up the wrong tree. There is not the slightest hint of Kimchi, the soup is simply hot and salty, and the hotness was reaaaally whack on top of that. This soup is a great disappointment.

45. Yum Yum Vegetable Flavour (cup)



Brand: Yum Yum
Name: Vegetable Flavour
Price: ~1,20 €


Hello. As you may know, we already did a Yum Yum Vegetable Flavour review earlier (see here), but the plastic bag version. This time we have the cup, and there are planty of different things that I want to introduce to you.



First of all, we have some stray vegetable and carotte flakes and corn chunks inside the cup. It's quite a lot, I have to say, compared to some other cup and bowl noodles that I have seen. There is also a bag of  flavouring fat and some chili powder included, which can not be found in the regular plastic bag version. The amount of flavouring surely adds to a better taste.



Well, looking at this blurred picture because the steaming hot steam hit my camera lense makes me hungry again. It just tasted loads better than the simple vegetarian noodles plastic pack. Those were quite good, but with all the extra stuff from the cup, it's so much better. These noodles are absoluely recommendable!

(I also think that the chicken cup contains chicken chunks, etc.)

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+

XXXI. Yum Yum Thai Suki Flavour



Brand: Yum Yum
Name: Thai Suki Flavour
Price: ?


This Ramen I bought without having a fucking clue what 'Thai Suki' actually was. Looks delicous, judging from what the picture on the front shows. What do we have here: fat mushrooms, green stuff, a lot of vegetable, prawn??? Sry, the quality of the picture really sucks, I can't identify all that stuff anymore haha =D. OTL



When you open the bag, you get to smell the noodles, which bewaters your mouth. The blue sachet on the left does kinda look like it would contain some screws or other mechanical stuff. This time I also tried the fat before putting in the boiling water, and it was preeetty hot! I also snorted too much powder, unwillingly of course, which gave me a sneezing fit LOL. :'D



The final soup had a nice reddish colour, but it smelled kinda like... barf. Really ewww-wy. Nevertheless I tried it. The taste of the soup was pretty weird, too, for me having had no clue how 'Thai Suki' would taste like. The first impression was very sweet, then the taste of basil, herbs,... And after that, I suddenly knew what it tasted like: Canh chua!!!! (You may know that if you're Vietnamese :p) The same sour taste of the broth, with all the herbs and stuff and flavours and blah, I really had a fucking Déjà-vu, and I was thinking that there was okra and bạc hà missing. The broth is kinda hot (and sweet at the same time, I think not everybody will like this if you're not used to such flavours haha) and I had the feeling, while eating this, the soup got hotter and hotter. Which I kinda liked. It was nicely hot, without giving your tongue agony and death pangs.

Rating: A+ because it reminds me of Vietnamese Canh Chua although this is Thai Suki (maybe it's the same?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?! °---°). Add some nice fresh ingredients, like pineapple and tomatoe, for it to look like this, and the broth from Yum Yum would just fit nicely.

XXII. Yum Yum Instant noedels groenten smaak



Brand: Yum Yum
Name: Instant noodles vegetable flavour
Price: 0,35 €


I always thought only meat products can be Halal, but after reading this, which taught me that 'Halal' means the absence of unproperly slaughtered meat, pork, dead animals, blood and alcohol and other religious stuff, EVERY fucking vegetarian food without alcohol must be Halal! AH-HAH! Conclusion of the day.

There is only one bag of flavour powder included, and I was even too lazy to snap a picture beside that wrapping hahaha. Yum Yum noodles always look the same anyways. I could even...



...use this picture from a former Yum Yum review and you wouldn't even notice the difference ;D. My point is: Yum Yum with simple, colourless broth looks always the same. Nothing thrilling to be worth showing actually.

This noodle soup is pretty unspectacular, too, it tastes boring, looks boring and has no vegetable chunks or anything to be swimming in here. It's actually more wicked to eat the uncoocked noodles as a snack (and no, just idiots snort the powder, or any powder in common -____-").

XIII. Yum Yum Wasabi flavour



Brand: Yum Yum
Name: Wasabi flavour
Price: 0,35 €


Here's a review of some Ramen by one of the most famous noodle soup brands in the world, Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum looooooooooooool. They just recently put out a new flavour on the market that I immediately had to try after seeing it. Sounds very strange and freaky to put Wasabi into your Ramen. As if you could put all kind of crazy japanese food stuff together and it would go well with each other and harmonize and taste super yummy. I had to check that. So here we go.


'Hey, Steve-O, the Wasabi that you snorted is now also available in powder-form!'
Keepin' it simple with just one sachet of powder, it was quite disappointing for me at first sight though. Like when you open a present for Christmas and the inside is just lousy (and maybe crappy, too). You get the point? Disappointment.
(The block of ramen is very delicious btw when you eat it like that without cooking, munching it down like a hamburger or something like that. Crispy and salty and yummy. In case you don't have other snacks around.)


I did cook it, though
If you expected this soup to be very hot and fucking spicey, I have to disappoint you. This soup actually is one big disappointment. The Wasabi flavour was authentic, though, but not very outstanding so that the soup had a flair of 'Oh crap I dropped some Wasabi into my Ramen broth (that was simply salty water before) and it kinda tastes weird but okay because I love weird food and will finish this somehow though I might puke from it after the first three bites that I did find so delicious though'. Maybe that's a good point, also. I didn't have the need to puke because the Wasabi flavour was so weak, I was simply bored eating this. And disappointed.

Well, Yum Yum noodles still are pretty awesome, they're always soft, firm to the bite and delicious. It's just the broth that turned this one into such a big disappointment. 

Rating: Count the word disappoinment in this review. This soup earns a C
