Samyang Buldak Truffle Spicy Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 226
The Buldak releases just never seem to stop! Samyang Buldak Truffle Spicy Ramen is a brand-new US release that started rolling out to Walmart stores shortly before I filmed this review. It sells for $7.48 per five-pack, although it may not have reached every local Walmart yet. Samyang has been dropping new Buldak flavors without much fanfare lately, which feels a little strange for one of the biggest instant noodle product lines in the world. I have no idea whether this will eventually show up in other supermarket chains or Asian grocery stores, so check around if it interests you.
Maruchan Birria Beef Flavor Ramen Bowl Review | Noodle Journey Episode 225
Today’s review is the Maruchan Birria Beef Flavor Ramen Bowl, a product that has been out for a little while now and that I wanted to get to before moving on to some of Maruchan’s newer products. This flavor started showing up in grocery stores and on Amazon in the last year and a half or so.
Samyang Buldak Rosé with Wide Glass Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Episode 224
Today’s review is a bit of a follow-up to my last Buldak review as I work my way through the remaining Buldak products in my queue. This is Samyang Buldak Rosé with Wide Glass Noodles.
Nissin Chilled Cup Noodles Review | Noodle Journey Episode 223
These are two hot, well, not exactly hot, new products from Japan that take the basic Cup Noodles preparation method and change the most fundamental part of it. Nissin Chilled Cup Noodles come in Chicken, Salt, and Lemon and Spicy Kimchi flavors, and you prepare both with cold water. Not hot water followed by a trip to the refrigerator. Not hot water with some ice cubes thrown in afterward. These are made with refrigerated water poured directly into the cup, and they’re ready to eat in five minutes. I know, it’s wild, right?
Samyang Buldak Rosé Spicy Ramen (US Version) Review | Noodle Journey Episode 222
Today’s review is kind of an update to the review all the way back in episode 90 where I reviewed the version of Samyang Buldak Rosé sold in South Korea. It’s no longer necessary to jump through hoops to import Buldak Rosé, but is it the same recipe? Today I’m reviewing this pack of Samyang Buldak Rosé, the version specifically exported to the US from South Korea.
Nissin Cup Noodles BBQ Flavors Review | Noodle Journey Episode 221
Nissin is back with more limited edition gimmick noodles again, which means I have to review them again so that I don’t miss out. Today’s review is Nissin Cup Noodles BBQ flavors: Texas BBQ and Kansas City BBQ. I really have a love-hate relationship with Nissin’s gimmick Cup Noodles at this point. I love when they try new, thinking-out-of-the-box noodle recipes, but I hate that most of them have been, let’s say, subpar. And quite frankly, I don’t expect soft Cup Noodles covered in Nissin’s interpretation of barbecue sauce to be very good, but I just have to know. Another thing I hate is that when these limited-time Cup Noodles come out, my review schedule has to get adjusted, and I’ve got to review these while they’re still on store shelves. I had a completely different product review planned for this episode, so thank you for screwing up my plans, Nissin.
Samyang Buldak Jjajang Spicy Ramen (Chinese Version) Review | Noodle Journey Episode 220
Today's review is Samyang Buldak Jjajang Spicy Ramen, but not the one I reviewed a long time ago. There’s no official English name for this product. The internet has been calling it "fried jjajang", but I’m just going to call it what it actually is for this review: a new recipe of Buldak Jjajang made for the Chinese market.
Maruchan Instant Lunch Flamin’ Hot Chicken Ramen Review | Noodle Journey Episode 219
Today’s review is going to be a quick little examination of a hot, pun intended, new flavor from Maruchan and Frito-Lay. This is a new collaboration between them: Maruchan Instant Lunch Flamin’ Hot Chicken Ramen.
Samyang Buldak Mac n’ Cheese Review | Noodle Journey Episode 218
Today’s review is not technically an instant noodle, but it is certainly part of the instant noodle universe. These are brand new from Samyang: Buldak Mac n' Cheese Sweet Corn Flavor and Carbonara Flavor.
