Something Curry To Cook For Valentine’s Day

I got an email with this recipe in it today and thought I’d post it – sounds like a nice little Valentine’s Day dinner. Hope everyone’s having a good day!

My Awesome Birthday Noodle Journey!

So yeah look at that insane assortment of noodles – it’s really quite insane. My lovely Kit was so kind as to give me the gift of oriental flava today! First we went to Sun Ya in Seattle – a Chinese restaurant that has dim sum for lunch. Then to Uwajimaya where I got a ton of noodles! The we checked out a place called Viet Wah – that was awesome and yes, more noodles. Then to Seafood City and yes…. MORE  NOODLES! Finally after coming back and relaxing for a bit, we decided on homemade Korean BBQ for dinner. Got the stuff at 99 Ranch Market and yup – got another noodle cup! In all, there’s 65 unique varieties here that will be reviewed on Ramen Rater! So Enjoy!

Here’s a bag with all of the cups and bowls…

…and one with all of the packs and other stuff… Tomorrow, Kit’s going to bring home a box for them…

The Ramen Rater News – Noodle Re-Up Extreme

Yesterday we went to HT Oaktree market. Got a ton of new noodles to review! Gaze upon the massiveness!

Of course the next step was to figure out a storage solution. My ramen box is very small. However with a bit of balancing, I was able to get them all to fit nicely.

If you look closely you can see the record I use to cover the noodles as the steep when it’s bowl noodle time. So that’s the news for now – stay  tuned for more reviews!

Where To Get It: 99 Ranch Market

So this place is really nice – they have a wide variety of pretty much everything.

99 Ranch Market

Seattle (Edmonds) store
22511 Highway 99, Edmonds,WA 98026
425-670-1899

So let’s get down to business. Here’s a nice long aisle of instant ramen noodles! Many countries are represented here: China, Japan, the Philippines, Korea, Vietnam, Indonesia and others. I have found this to be a great place to get my ramen rating activities back on track.more

Another nice item they have is a broad selection of rice, unfortunately, no basmati although you really wouldn’t expect to find it here…

We find this to be pretty nasty – no we haven’t tried it either! But I figure if they’re selling it, someone’s gotta be buying it!

Look at that mountain of Mi Goreng! Ah hah hah! I think this is awesome.

This was right next to the boxes of Mi Goreng – this is mostly 5 packs of Korean ramen like shin ramyun and Paldo products.

I love this place; I love walking here and getting ramen and walking home triumphant and very sweaty this summer. Indeed there are many varieties still to  sample! I can’t stress enough  that checking this place out is a must.

Where To Get It: Pal-Do World

So another Lynnwood-area Korean supermarket is Pal-Do World…

Pal-Do World

17424 Highway 99

Lynnwood, WA 98037-9243

(425) 742-2237

This one’s much like H Mart – it has a main gfocery area and small satellite stores. 99 Ranch is this way too, but less of a Korean-based store.

So quite a few interesting places in here – among them a bank, an AT&T store a place called ‘Chicky Pub’ where you could get a beer and some fried chicken, and a couple other little things.

A pretty decent instant noodle bowl and package selection here. One thing I liked was seeing some products that I’d only seen in 5 packs in singles, so I could try them without having to repeat eat.

Lots of 5 packs and bowls of things…

A nice array of foreign beverages. We went for the pear juice which will be paired with something fizzy later this evening.

Here’s what I came home with and what will be reviewed in the future. Pal-Do world offers some interesting stuff.
