Review: Dongwon Cheese Topokki
Dongwon Cheese Topokki is the other Korean rice cake variety from this manufacturer that I found recently at Walmart, and given how delicious I thought the Spicy and Sweet flavor was, I figured I'd better try this one too so I know what to stock up on next time I find myself in a Walmart.

Review: Mama Artificial Chicken Flavor Noodles
I'm a big fan of Mama noodles. They're cheap, they're flavorful, and there's something about those thin, chewy noodles that I really enjoy. These Mama Artificial Chicken Flavor Noodles are one of the more easy-to-come-by packs here in the US, and I'm pretty eager to see what Mama can do with such a simple flavor,

Review: Dongwon Spicy and Sweet Topokki
It's honestly been a little while since I had Korean rice cakes, and even longer since I reviewed one, and so when I spotted Dongwon Spicy and Sweet Topokki at my local Wamart (of all places), I figured I'd give them a try. There's also a Cheese version of this that I'll be reviewing soon,

Review: Maruchan Mennosuke Tategata Kamodashi Soba
Maruchan Mennosuke Tategata Kamodashi Soba is a neat flavor that I got out of the final ZenPop box last year. Buckwheat soba noodles with a duck and bonito broth! That's not something you really see in the USA at all. Will it be gamey like duck? Smoky and fishy like bonito? Read on to see
