Noodle Journey Episode 125: Nissin Demae XO Sauce Seafood Flavor Ramen

Notes since filming:

Major bummer, but this variety seems to have been discontinued in both its pack and bowl forms. I don’t know of any other seafood ramen varieties that have this specific XO flavor. If this ever makes a comeback, hopefully Nissin doesn’t mess with the recipe!

Original video description:

It’s been quite a while since a Nissin Demae review, but this one seemed extra interesting and so I grabbed a pack from my favorite Asian market. This XO Sauce Seafood flavor is something totally unique to instant ramen. If you’re unfamiliar with XO Sauce and want to know how this tastes, check out the review!

Noodle Journey Episode 122: Samyang Tangle Bulgogi Alfredo Tangluccine

Notes since filming:

This is tied with Indomie Mi Goreng as my wife’s favorite instant noodle product of all time. I personally liked the Rosé a bit more, but this is a hell of a good product.

Original video description:

Noodle Journey is an episodic review series in which we learn all about instant noodle brands and products and then do a deep dive into the noodle quality, spice level, and overall flavor. All reviews are as thorough as possible. The noodles are cooked according to the manufacturer’s instructions using only the contents of the product package unless otherwise indicated. This ensures that the review is as unbiased as possible and evaluates whether or not a product is worth a purchase either as a standalone meal or as a base that you could spruce up.

Here we’ve got a new product line from Samyang with Tangle, which promises to combine premium air-dried noodles with a hearty sauce to create a Korean/Italian fusion pasta dish. Sounds delicious, but does it deliver on its promises? Check out the review!
