#224: Mama Instant Bowl Noodles Artificial Pork Flavour Base

Happy bowl of artificial pork flavor noodles! Awesome!

Oil and powder and chili powder and veggies…

In the bowl!

Pretty good stuff – not a lot more to say – it was spicy [hot] and the noodles were lackluster. Nothing much to say. 2.75 out of 5.0 stars. Get it here.

Re-Review: Quickchow Instant Pancit Palabok Instant Rice Noodles W/Shrimp Sauce

So I reviewed this a long long time ago and looked at the review and have pretty much the same thing to report about it. This is a re-review with snazzier pictures!

Powder, veggies and oil.

Very red powder.

Very thin and very dry. Light taste and kind of greasy but just if you keep stirring it. It’s not that great but not too bad – 2.5 out of 5.0 stars – nothing I’m stoked on but nothing I can complain about either.

#214: Maruchan Yakisoba Teriyaki Beef Flavor Home-Style Japanese Noodles

So teriyaki beef. Here we go…

Up to the fill line, 4 minutes of microwave…

Well, not too bad. The only issue is that it didn’t cook very evenly – part of the noodles were perfect, some were a little bit underdone or completely uncooked. I wasn’t all that great. 2.0 out of 5.0 stars. Get it here.

#204: Nong Shim Bowl Noodle Soup Spicy Shrimp Flavor

So here’s the last Bowl Noodle I have on hand, Spicy Shrimp Flavor. I’m hunting for the Seafood and the Lobster flavors currently. I think that’s all of them…

As with every other one of this series, only one packet.

Veggies and oterwise are with the noodles in the bottom of the bowl. Deep red powder – could be spicy as the name infers!

So here’s the final product before…

Two fried eggs. So this wasn’t too bad but I was a little bummed on the not-so-shrimpy taste. Kind of meh. 2.5 out of 5.0 stars. Get it here.

#181: Kamfen Noodle King (Thin) Wonton Soup Flavored

So another one of these big two serving bags. The last one wasn’t all that great so I guess we’ll see how this one fares.

Oil and powder soup base.

The oil was definitely sesame.

So the noodles are kind of weird; I’m not exactly sure what the issue is but I just can’t like them. They’re chewy but they don’t make me go hooray. The broth is kind of odd. Not bad but odd, and lacking veggies. I’m giving it a 2.0 out of 5.0 stars.
