Thought I’d try this one again – it’s pretty sad – I have nothing new to review! Looking forward to some new varieties coming soon though hopefully! A couple from the UK have informed me that they’re sending a treasure trove of interesting varieties! Can’t wait! In the meantime, here’s the elusive Cucharealo – haven’t seen it for sale anywhere yet. Good stuff! Here’s the original review here.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added a fried egg, cheese, Taxes Pete hot sauce, sweet onions, chicken lunch meat and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are great – short and there’s tons of them. The broth has a really nice tomato taste with a hit of cumin. Great stuff! Gonna give it a 3.5 out of 5.0 stars yet again.

This place was amazing when I was a kid; you could put your hand on the window outside and it would make the train inside move! I miss the old guard of the enormous department store.
So here’s the last of the top Ramen Short Cuts varieties that Nissin Foods USA sent me. Thanks again! Lime chili flavor eh? Sounds interesting. Its kind of funny; I got an email from someone at a company called Citrojugo the other day. Citrojugo is a company in Mexico that makes lime juice. I think they saw one of my reviews mentioned ‘jeruk nipis,’ which is ‘lime juice’ in Indonesian. Well, Citrojugo was curious if my company would be interested in it for my products. I told them that I only review products related to instant noodles, but that I could probably try their stuff and work it into a review of another product, such as marinated chicken with their lime juice. Well, they immediately dispatched a liter of clarified preserved lime juice. Serious stuff! I open it up and stuck my nose in the Nalgene containment vessel and got a real nosefull of powerful lime! I’ll be mentioning more about their stuff in upcoming reviews – haven’t marinated chicken with it yet but will be soon and it should be quite amazing!
Here’s the back as well as the side panels (click to enlarge).
It comes in one single bag! The noodles are pre-seasoned and require no packets, allowing you to make as much or as little as you want.
Look at all those noodles! I will say it again, these are really good straight out of the box – trust me.
Finished. Added some baked chicken breast, onions, broccoli and green bell pepper, medium cheddar cheese, a hard boiled egg with Ajishima Kimchi Furikake and some Huy Fong Sriracha chili sauce. The noodles come out much like egg noodles – although if you read the ingredients, these are indeed made with wheat noodles – not eggs. They’re soft and oplentiful – and tasty., Not chewy; definitely something made specifically for the US market. The broth is good – a strong lime and chili taste which was enjoyable. All in all quite interesting and works well as a base for a meal like this. Of course, I only review the base product before the extras are added in. 3.75 out of 5.0 stars – good stuff!

Shangri-la…
Wish Nissin’d give me a call and send me here! Looks so awesome!
Here’s another one of the samples sent to me by Nissin Foods USA! Thanks again! So Roast Chicken flavor… I’m thinking I’m going to have fun with this one… Hmmm… Well, here we go!
Here’s the back of the package – click to enlarge.
The Here’s what’s in the box – a big bag of pre-seasoned noodles!
Here’s what the noodles look like. They’re shorter than what you’d usually expect from Nissin’s top Ramen line, but that’s why these are ‘Short Cuts,’ get it? Okay so since they’re pre-seasoned, they’re easily muched on. This box has some tasty bits in it – very tasty!
Finished. Added a can of grocery store succotash, a scrambled egg, some Krazy Mixed Up Salt and some Cajun Power Garlic Sauce. The noodles are broad and flat. There are so many of them! They’re soft and very ‘comfort food’ group. The broth is nice – thick and flavorful once it stands and has a nice roast chicken flavor. It’s a little tastier than the regular chicken. This is good stuff. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662075067 .
Here’s another one of the new ones from Nissin! Let’s give it a try.

A big bag of noodles!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – this stuff is really tasty straight out of the bag! This one especially!
Andy got to eat this bowl – got him some different kamaboko the other day.
Finished. Added some kamaboko. The noodles are short and definitely fill the bill when it comes to ‘comfort food;’ lots of noodles and tasty. The broth is trademark tasty chicken flavor. A good one here – 4.0 out of 5.0 stars! UPC bar code 070662075029 .
Something I’ve never seen before – a Nissin Vietnam commercial

Here’s another one of the new varieties that Nissin Foods USA sent me earlier this month to review. I got a comment from someone saying Cucharealo means ‘spoon it up.’ Makes sense – Nissin has a similar product called ‘Spoon it’ with flavors like chicken, beef and beet stew while the Cucharealo line is more hitting the Mexican flavors. The last one I tried was awesome – let’s give this one a try!

Short, thin noodles.
A single seasoning packet.
I gave it a taste – has a slightly tangy tomato taste.
Finished. Added onion, red bell pepper, some over roasted chicken, Krazy Mixed Up Salt, a fried egg, Crystal hot sauce and some cheddar cheese. The noodles thin and short – definitely good for a spoon. The broth is pretty good – has a good tomato flavor. Not bad! 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 070662081013 .
