Time to review something completely different! You might be passingly familiar with Nongshim's Chapagetti flavor because of the movie Parasite, but how does this black bean sauce actually taste, and more importantly, is it worth buying?

Noodle Journey Episode 19: Ichiran Tonkotsu Ramen
Time to review the world-famous Ichiran Tonkotsu Ramen! This is the most expensive instant noodle product we've seen to date, and the Internet is sharply divided about whether or not it is worth the premium price tag.

Samyang Buldak 2x Spicy Hot Chicken Ramen Review – Noodle Journey Episode 17
Time to up my spicy street cred. This episode covers Samyang’s 2x Spicy Buldak Hot Chicken, the viral challenge noodle that gained a reputation for destroying people at double the intensity of the original Hot Chicken flavor. I'm not eating this to prove anything, I just want to see whether the hype is deserved, and more importantly, whether it's still actually edible. I’ve already covered the original Buldak and the Carbonara, both of which I enjoyed, so I'm going into this one with a decent idea of what to expect from a flavor perspective, but not from a spice perspective.
Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Ramen Review – Noodle Journey Episode 16
Time to dive into the one that started it all: Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Ramen, the pack that kicked off a thousand spicy noodle challenges and an entire subculture of people shoving noodles into their tear-stained faces for the enjoyment of others. I’m not here for the Internet clout, just a proper review of a famously spicy stir-fried noodle. I’ve already tried the Carbonara version and loved it, so it was time to see how the base flavor holds up without the creamy powdered cheese to tone it down.
Prima Taste Singapore Curry LaMian Review – Noodle Journey Episode 15
This was a big one for me. Prima Taste Singapore Curry LaMian comes highly recommended across the internet, especially by Hans The Ramen Rater, and I’ve been looking forward to trying it ever since I started this channel. This is also my first time reviewing a lamian-style noodle, which is traditionally a hand-stretched Chinese wheat noodle known for its thickness and chew. Between the packaging, reputation, and size of the noodle block, expectations were pretty high going in.
Nissin Demae Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu Ramen Review – Noodle Journey Episode 14
This one brings back memories. I first tried Nissin’s Demae Black Garlic Oil Tonkotsu early in the pandemic, and it’s one of the noodles that kickstarted this entire channel (and ultimately website). I really liked it at the time, but I’ve had a lot more tonkotsu since then, including some that were pretty underwhelming (I'm looking at you, Nissin Raoh).

Welcome back to another purple noodle review as I continue my quest to find something gluten-free that doesn’t taste like punishment. This is another Lotus Foods variety, their Purple Potato Rice Ramen with Turmeric Curry Soup. If you caught my review of their Forbidden Rice Ramen with White Miso Soup, you’ll recall I wasn’t exactly kind to the broth in that one. The noodles were fine, but the flavor was a total debacle. This one, at least on paper, looks more promising thanks to the addition of actual spices and the novelty of potato-based noodles.
