Here's a Japanese variety I got out of the very final ZenPop ramen subscription box that I haven't tried yet. The official product name according to ZenPop is "Acecook Nomihosu Ippai Gotouchi-hen Sapporo Noukou Miso Ramen," although you can find this online under the name "Acecook Sapporo Rich Miso Ramen."
The first site-exclusive Mega-Review! This is a quartet of noodle cups from a UK company that operated in the US for a short while under the name Kusari Noodles. This one has a little bit of a backstory behind it, but this marks the first time I'm reviewing noodles made in the UK, which means this is going to be interesting. Buckle up!
Today, I’m checking out a product from what is probably the most ubiquitous Taiwanese noodle brand on the planet with this really eye-catching A-Sha BT21 Street Style Variety Noodle Box. Buckle up, because this review has an unexpected twist!
Since Nongshim Shin Ramyun is what started this channel, I am ending my Shin countdown from the last few episodes with something really special. I'm going to review both of these recent Nongshim x Jay Fai Shin Ramyun Tom Yum flavors that have been made in collaboration with legendary Thai street chef Jay Fai.
One of the benefits of doing reviews here on the site is I can churn out reviews of limited-time products much more quickly than if I had to schedule time to film and edit for the YouTube channel. So with that in mind, I'm checking out the first of many limited-time Cup Noodle products from Nissin right here for your reading pleasure, with this Nissin Cup Noodle BIG Butter Chicken Curry. Oh yes, and it comes in the "BIG" Cup Noodle size only.
This one today is probably one of the more interesting varieties of the Nongshim countdown to episode 200 and it's also taken the internet by storm recently. It is a product that requires a little bit of explanation if you haven't heard of it: this is Nongshim Shin Ramyun Toomba Stir Fry.
It's been a while since I reviewed something from Jin Mai Lang, also known as JML. I reviewed their Artificial Chicken Mushroom flavor way back when, and it did certainly deliver on both the chicken and the mushroom flavor, although the noodles weren't really the best. Here with this variety, we've got a Chinese "stewed pork" flavor I'm not totally familiar with, but I do love trying new things, so this should be interesting.
Today's review is going to be an interesting one, I hope. I'll be reviewing and comparing the relatively new American version of Nongshim Shin Ramyun Stir Fry spicy beef flavor with its South Korean Shin Ramyun Stir Fry counterpart. A while back I ordered this Shin Ramyun stir fry flavor from South Korea and I didn't get around to reviewing it at the time because other things caught my attention, you know how it goes. Since then, Shin Stir Fry has started popping up in other places around the world, including on American store shelves in new English friendly packaging. Unlike some situations where the American version is made in California, these are actually both manufactured in South Korea but one's specifically for sale in the USA and one's specifically for sale in South Korea. You'd think the ingredients would be largely the same just like they were in the Shin Red and Shin "The Red" that I just reviewed, but they're not. I'll get into the key differences below.
Hey everyone, it's time to get into the very first site-exclusive Noodle Journey review, with Maruchan Yakisoba Cheddar Cheese Flavor! If you're confused about why this is a bunch of text with no video, check out the recent blog post explaining my decision to split up my reviews between the channel and this site. Anyway... cheesy instant noodles. I think cheese may be the most divisive ingredient I've ever encountered in instant noodles (aside from all the stuff in the gimmick flavors out there). Here we have Maruchan combining a cheese sauce with their yakisoba noodles into what I'm imagining is going to be a glorified mac and cheese with minimal-to-no Asian flavors.
We're counting down to episode 200 with more Nongshim Shin reviews! Today is a double-review of some of the hottest entries in the Shin product line. We've got the version sold in America, Nongshim Shin Ramyun Red Fiery Spicy Beef flavor, and we've got the version sold overseas, Nongshim Shin Ramyun "The Red." Now, I personally, along with many others on the internet, have been calling the original Shin Ramyun "Shin Red" for years now, but that was never its official name. It was something we referred to it as colloquially. So now that these products exist, I guess we all have to stop doing that! There are officially two Shin Reds now, and these are both super spicy versions of the original Shin Ramyun recipe.
