Here one that came from Korea by way of Kristen W. of Arizona! Thank you so much! I’ve wanted to review this one for a long time! Let’s check this unique variety out.

The noodle block.
The powdered flavor packet.
The powder had a sweet flavor to it.
The veggie packet.
Corn and meatybits!
Here’s the sauce packet – lots of red stuff in here!
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added sweet onions, light ham and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are pretty standard ramyun noodles. The seasoning powder that stirs in has a light sweet’n’salty taste. The spaghetti sauce? Sweet and just a little spicy. The veggies are decent. This is a lot of fun and tastes great! 4.5 out of 5.0 stars – unique and enjoyable!UPC bar code 8801045571416.
Kristen W. of Arizona sent me some noodles she got while she was in South Korea!
This is a great little collection of South Korean varieties you can’t easily find here! Ottogi Cheese Ramyun and Spaghetti bowls – been wanting to try them for a while! The two above are Paldo Korea varieties – I think Rabokki and Jjajang. The Nongshim Shin Cup in the lower right is the South Korean version. Thank, Kristen! Soon as they’re made, some The Ramen Rater stickers will be coming your way!
I reviewed the original version (non-microwavable) quite a while back and really liked it – it even made the Top Ten Instant Noodle Bowls list. Today I’m going to check out the new version.
Here’s the cardboard outer (click image to enlarge).
The lid.
The noodle block. A nice golden color.
The seasoning packet.
Has a strong and definite seafood smell.
A little bit of the vegetable and seafood mix from the bottom of the bowl.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added odeng (fish cake), sweet onions, green onions and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are good – they have that almost ‘buttery’ flavor to them like all of Nongshim’s new microwavable Bowl Noodle Soups. The broth has a spicy and deep seafood taste – very nice! The veggies and bits are pretty good too. Everything comes together nicely in this bowl – I like it. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars – definitely one of my favorites! UPC bar code 031146262984 – get it here.
For a long time, one of my reviews was featured on the front page of Nongshim USA’s website for their Shin Ramyun Black. Well, guess who repolaced me? Yup – PSY! I don’t think I can really compete with his fame! I still challenge him to a Shin Ramyun eating contest! En garde – Gangnam Style!
For those who didn’t know, ‘Gangnam Style’ is one track from an album. Here’s something from a different album – just so you know that PSY does different things and not just one song.
Here’s the first new Ottogi variety I’ve reviewed in a long time! It’s an interesting one, too. This is most definitely a cup, however it says it is a noodle bowl on the packaging – weird! Hoping in 2013 to be able to get with Ottogi and do a Meet The Manufacturer – they’ve got some interesting twists on Korean instant noodles that are really good! Well, let’s give this one a try!
Here are the details from the side panels (click image to enlarge).
The noodle block.
A single seasoning packet.
A hot and spicy powder! Wow!
Here’s a little bit of the veggies from the bottom of the cup.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added an egg, green bell pepper and Urashima Sesame & Salt furikake. The noodles are really quite nice. They have a little tension to them and are soft. The broth has a rich and spicy chicken flavor which I enjoyed. A good white broth cup! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 645175573227 – get the pack version here.
Just a note – there’s a new number one on the Top Ten Spiciest Noodles Of All Time List! It’s South Korea’s emart with Dare You! Habanero Ramen!!! Man, it sure was hot! Go have a look here!
