This one was sent by Michelle L. of New York! Unfortunately, for this one I have exceedingly low expectations. Every Baijia product I’ve tried has been just plain gross in my opinion.
The side panels.
Hey – a fork!
Thick liquid seasoning starting on left, powder seasoning in the middle and finally beans on the right.
Otis Pug and Daisy Pug are out cold…
So they cannot be held responsible for that vile looking thing.
Finished. While this was pretty horrible, it wasn’t as horrible as I expected. First, the noodles were not too bad themselves; they weren’t as clumpy as usual. The broth was all but gone and the bean things were as funky and odd as always. The problem as with all of the Baijia products I’ve tried thus far was the flavor. First, it’s spicy – nothing wrong with that, but it’s like a ridiculously strong black pepper kind of spicy. Also, it’s very salty too. All in all, I felt a little funky after eating a couple of bites – I deem this non-palatable. 0.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC barcode 6926410321341 – get the pack version here.
Here’s another one that’s been needing a quick review. This was purchased in July of last year in California!
Some side panel stuff – was really hard to get pics of this one.
Open it up and all this stuff inside!@ Included fork!!!
A couple of packets…
Ready for boiling water…
The noodles are lackluster and boring, sad to say. The broth was just funky; like they wanted it to go a certain way but it just wouldn’t cooperate so they ingredient guy said screw it, threw up his hands and said “XO flavor.” Hmm… 1.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC barcode 8850412371876 .
Completely unrelated noodle advert.
Very weird – apparently ‘fashion food’ is popular…
Here’s one that we got at a northern Oregon Chevron of all places. Man, I’m still jonesin’ to try the Beef Taco and Jalapeno Cheedar flavors!!!
Here’s the back of the packaging…
Packet one: the vegetables!
See, you put em in like this under the noods and then shake it from side to side a little.
After you add a cup of water and microwave for 4 minutes and letting it all sit for a minute, you get this packet out of your packet holster.
You dump it atop the noodles and stir like crazy. Kinda funky looking there.
Okay so we have a two egger with a bunch of Tabasco Buffalo Style hot sauce and some fried shallots and Krazy Mixed Up Salt inside. The noodles are dry and sticky. Added just a hint over a cup of water too so I don’t know what the issue was. The flavor is salty and spicy and rather artificial. The real star here are the veggies – there’s a ton of them! The problem is that it started out somewhat good but as it cooled it got stickier and stickier to the point of being a blob of noodles. I didn’t like it at all. 1.75 out of 5.0 stars.. Find it here.
Rad groove…
Kubrick – …and they clamped like lidlocks on mine eyes!
Well, this looks like a lot of insanity! Here we go!!!
Wait – I thought this was pork and seafood flavor, not shrimp flavor…
Pretty impressive – four packets!
So there’s the contents of that retort pouch on top – looks kind of like cat food and has the same consistency. The dry powder was chunky… The oil looked okay though and a nice amount of vegetables.
Here’s where all hell breaks loose. First off, there are no instructions included on how to cook this. At the end of the seasoning packet ingredients, notice that it has Fe in it. WHAT THE HELL IS ‘Fe?’ Also, no Red Chili Powder Packet. It’s like this product isn’t this product.
I went with my instincts; hell, I’ve had over 380 different varieties of noodles and I should be able to figure out this one’s cooking directions. I added enough boiling water to cover the noodles and all the ingredients. Guess what? The biggest insult I have ever had to deal with – the bowl LEAKS. Boiling water with oil and seasoning all over my table. And floor. I transferred this stuff to a bowl and added a little water and covered for 4 minutes.
The noodles were absolutely horrible. No character whatsoever. The retort stuff just didn’t work at all. The broth tasted very odd. Add that to the lack of instructions, incorrect ingredients and a leaky bowl and you get a ZERO STAR bowl of noodles. 0.0 out of 5.0 stars. What a mistake these were. Get them here.
Yes, I’m voluntarily Rick Rolling this review. You know the rules…..
Again today I asked my lady Kit to pick a couple packs of noodles to eat. The first is this one.
A very small amount of noodles – infact, only a cup of water is required to prepare them!
Some odd seasonings… Hmmm…
Holy crap this stuff is gross! First off, 60mg shy of 2000mg of sodium is just insane for such a small amount of noodles. The taste is way too strong for me and kind of piquantly pungent and very not my style. I don’t like it. I don’t like it. I don’t like it. I give it .25 out of 5.0 stars. Here’s the cup version.
