#785: Sarimi Isi 2 Rasa Soto

Here’s another one sent by Meilina K. of Indonesia! Soto I’ve had before has had a very nice lime flavor to it I very much enjoyed. Curious if this one will be the same. Let’s see!

The back of the packaging.

A piece of the noodle block.

Dry seasonings: base on the left and chili powder on the right.

Base with chili powder atop.

Seasoned oil.

Dark and a little murky!

Finished. Added a hard-boiled egg, some veggies, some roasted chicken, a little Ajishima Kimchi furikake, some kizami shoga (pickled ginger), some Melinda’s Garlic Habanero hot sauce and a pinch of Krazy Mixed Up Salt. Okay so the noodles were a little banged up during the voyage from Indonesia, but they’re still pretty good – Fluffy noodles. The broth has that nice salty and tasty lime taste that I’ve found in other Soto varieties. Good stuff! 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 089686017717 .

#563: Yum Yum Oriental Style Instant Noodles Duck Flavour

We reach the last of the instant noodles sent by Michael V.N. from Holland with Yum Yum Duck flavor. Thanks again Michael – these have all been a real myriad of different flavors and brands I’ve never seen here before.

Here’s the back of the package.

From left to right, chili powder, powder seasoning and seasoned oil.

Here’s the seasoning waiting for the noodles!

I added a couple eggs I scrambled in the pan with a couple shakes of Cavender’s Greek Seasoning. So these noodles are decent. The flavor is different; spicy and a little hot and has a slight sweetness. I like it! 3.25 out of 5.0 stars.

Noodles that make you feel like you’ve been shot out of a cannon? Crazy…

The first in a series of random Thanksgiving home movies people have posted on YouTube. No idea who these people are…

#554: Yum Yum Oriental Style Instant Noodles Shrimp Flavour (Tom Yum)

Here we have some Yum Yum noodles sent to me from Holland. made in Thailand and they’re Tom Yum flavor. Sounds good to me – here we go.

Just like all the other Yum Yum flavorrs except this one has drk flavored oil – hmm…

Looks like oil and perhaps a paste going on.

The finished product. A couple of fried eggs and a few drips of the new Tabasco Buffalo style hot sauce. Noodles aren’t great but not bad – kind of baseline good. The first thing I taste is lemon, characteristic tom yum. Spicy too. The broth has a nice color and flavor that permeates the noodles very well. Good bowl of noodles – 3.5 out of 5.0 stars.

This is a strange commercial; it’s just a burger. Looks very boring. But I wonder what ‘dressings’ they offer? There’s one of these next to Seafood City in Tukwila… Hmmm.

#544: Unox Good Noodles Kip ( Chicken )

Here’s another Dutch noodle from Michael V.N. in Holland! He informed me that kip means chicken – it’s kind of funny as almost every other noodle package that is chicken flavored usually has some kind of image of a chicken on it – this one’s covert!

Two packets – oil on the left and powder seasoning on the right.

The powder and oil intermingle in their savory way.

A couple of scrambled eggs and some carefully placed polka-dots of Texas Pete hot sauce. So I have the vegetable flavor a week or two ago and I followed the same directions and it did the same thing – I try to make it with soup but it just gets sucked up by the noodles so quickly. The noodles are nice enough – and the chicken flavor is quite good – I liked it and would eat it again. 3.5 out of 5.0 stars!

So this is the product that Unox is most well known for.

I really like how after she tosses the stick of butter in the other lady starts talking about healthy foods…

#531: Yum Yum Oriental Style Instant Noodles Beef Flavour

Here’s some more from Michael V.N. of Holland! Thanks again! This one’s called Yum Yum – had my son choose whether I should have the chicken or the beef and he told me I should have the beef today and the chicken tomorrow. Sounds like a plan!

Two packets – flavored oil/paste and powder/veggies. Interesting that they didn’t do it up with three packets.

Lots of paste – nothing mentions spicy but I have a feeling it is. This one came from Holland but it is a product of Thailand.

Boiled an egg with the noodles. So I was right – it is spicy. Not overwhelming but very tasty. The noodles aren’t too shabby and the broth is tasty and somewhat beefy! The veggies are kind of different – crunchy little bits of greenery. I like it – 3.25 out of 5.0 stars!
