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.

47. MAMA Oriental Style Instant Noodles Vegetable Flavour

Brand: MAMA
Name:  Oriental Style Instant Noodles Vegetable Flavour
Price: 0,40€

Today is so hot so I don't wanna write much. I have a lot of pictures for you to look at! :D

The yellow bag contains oil, which is very liquid.

I kinda had the feeling that the noodles did absorb a lot of water...

...so I added some more hot water, but the soup was very insipid after that. Better eat it just like that. I have to mention that the broth is really not that special anyways, not really tasting like vegetables to be honest. 

I added fried tofu strips for an increased delicious look. 

Rating: The soup was pretty much as boring as my review, so it receives a B.

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.)

43. Vewong A-One Tương tàu

Brand: Vewong

Name: A-One Tương tàu

Price: ?

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)

41. MAMA vegetable flavour

Brand: MAMA

Name: oriental style vegetable flavour

Price: 0,40

OH MY FUCKING GOSH I hate oriental flavour!!! As you might know, if you are a loyal reader of this blog, you may have noticed that I already wrote a review about some oriental noodles (Read it HERE) which I found really aweful. And as you may have noticed, this blog was kinda abandoned for a while, sorry for that. Being a student sucks. 

I have to say that the image on the package looks very appealing though, with all that vegetable, mushrooms, BROCCOLI and the gold-shimmering foil. If I'd have to award the best-looking ramen package, this one would have good chances to win I guess. HAHAHAHAH.

Contains one pack of fat and one pack of powder



The result looks very boring, too, I suddenly wonder where the fuck this green leaf/vegetable thing comes from... Well, the Ramen tasted pretty weird in the beginning, but after that impression, it tasted very mushroom-y. Not quite as good as A-One's vegetable ramen I have to say, but still ok. You just have to overcome the first mouthful. I'm just very glad that this one didn't taste 'oriental style' at all, and that means not the taste of dreadful WAI WAI noodles. I'm still traunatized, folks.

XXXX. VINA ACECOOK Mi Lau Thai chicken

Brand: Vina Acecook
Name: Mi Lau Thai chicken
Price: 0,50 €

Yo, since I've just been hanging round lately, doing nothing but procrastinating and stuff and being unable to pull my shits together to get up from mah bed/away from the Internet, I thought I could also blog, since it's really been a while, sry. 

=____="

So this time we have another guest review, my little brother with the code name 'Long Chicken' (xDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD) tried this Ramen. Here's what he thinks of it:

If you think that every fucking Ramen looks the same, you're stupid, cuz it's not true. Look at this one, we have leek, dried onions (which look like brown spots of sh** xD) and white fungus up there, which I have never seen in instant ramen before!!

So my little brother, who is by the time he ate this 60/5+2^3-(32-(4*6)) years old, said this:

'This soup tastes strange.'
'It doesn't... really taste like chicken.'
'Yeah, it's okay.'
'It's spicy.'
'It rather tastes like lemon.'
'Hmm, it doesn't taste like chicken at all, it only tastes sour. It's very lemony.'

So when I asked him to grade this soup, he said 'something between B and C'. When I later came into the kitchen I saw the half-eaten left-over bowl standing there. My mom said that it was probably too spicy for him to finish it. Such a wimp.

Rating: According to the fact that he didn't want to finish this Ramen, this one gets a C


[To all the dear readers: 
If you might have tested and tasted some Ramen, might them be awesome, tasty, nasty, aweful or disturbing, send them reviews in, we (or at least me (who atm tries really hard to become one/melt into her bed)) love to read and maybe even feature them in our blog.^^ Thank you very much for your support

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.

Rating: A 

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.

Rating: B-

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.

Rating: A

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)

XXXII. WAI WAI WAI BRAND Oriental Style Instant Noodles

Brand: WAI WAI
Name: Oriental Style Instant Noodles
Price: 0,40 €

Wow, these noodles, I ate them today, and it wasn't my first time eating them,... but somehow,... I don't understand it, maybe my taste in Ramen changed after having tested so many nice A-plusses,... you gotta read for yourself the rest of this review...

blurred, because I was shakingly starving/starvingly shaking

The dry noodle brick makes a nice snack for it is already salted properly. Just grab it with both hands and munch it like a hamburger. *CRUNCH*

This noodle soup... tasted like total shit. Seriously. Maybe I put in too much water, because I found them a tad bit too tasteless. On the other hand, what the FUCKING HELL is 'Oriental Style' supposed to be for a flavour??? The broth tasted really weird, reaaaally reaaaaaally strange tastes, I can't even describe it, I can only mention that it did not taste good. The noodles were strangely tasteless, too, so that the whole soup was a drag to force down your throat. I think I enjoyed that soup some years ago, but now, even in a starving mode, I find this one reaaallyy disgusting and almost eatable.

Rating: E+ (the + because it is still pretty ok as a DRY snack)

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.

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.

XXIX. Vina Acecook Hao Hao Instant Noodles Mushroom Flavour

Brand: Vina Acecook
Name: Hao Hao Instant Noodles Mushroom Flavour
Price: ~0,33

Today I have to thank my lovely friend Nhung Fountain for taking these pictures for me because the battery of my phone was flat. :3 It sucks if you can't eat your noodles without having taken a picture of that damn food before you mess it up, with your eating irons, or chopsticks, or the way I always do: What you can't see on the pics I take of Ramen packages is, that I have already ripped one side open, and right after that, I do realise that I haven't taken a picture of the package. Fuck my life. x'D

(c) Nhung Brunnen <3

When opening the package, one can notice the salty, aromatic smell, coming from the noodles. Which means you can eat them as a nice snack, too, without boiling. I think only kids do that, eating the block of noodles uncooked. And losers who don't have boiling water. FAIL! 

For some reason there was no water visible after the 3 minutes time of waiting, maybe I have put in too little, or the noodles have soaked it up entirely. MYSTERY MYSTERY. They were actually pretty good, being already flavoured as a brick, the consistence after cooking being perfect, tastyly thin and curly, just how I like Ramen to be.

A very bad point about these noodles was the mushroom flavour, which didn't taste like mushroom at all. I couldn't taste anything mushroom-like in this broth! And if there is aftertaste, there is also beforetaste, and this one's was kinda vinegar-like, I'm not sure, it was pretty disturbing and kinda aweful everytime I put some noodles in my mouth, smelling/tasting it.

Nevertheless, I finished them noodles, but I don't think I will ever eat them again. Maybe my taste buds are meshuga, too, I don't know, could be a thesis, but if you're hungry, these Hao Hao noodles can actually provide you a decent collation, because who cares about taste if one is starving. Shit, should have written that last sentence as the Rating. (-_____-)

Rating: C+ (for H. :D)
