Finishing up my old stash of instant ramen noodles. This is a cool package. It has little rubbery pellets in there.

Instant Ramen Review: Jah Jan Flavour
Name: Jah Jan Flavour
Brand: Mong Lee Shang
Contents: Brick of noodles with a seasoning packet and black jah jan flavour paste
Cooking: cover the brick of noodles and seasoning with boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and mix with the paste.
Results: It was really hard to mix up that lump of black paste.
Name: Instant Broad Noodles with Soup Base
Brand: Six Fortune
Contents: Brick of noodles with a paste soup base packet and dried vegetable soup base packet
Cooking: 560ml of boiling water and cook for 3mins. My measuring cup only goes to 500ml, so it took some ingenuity …I asked my roommate how to get those extra 60ml.
Results: Tasted pretty much like any other regular instant ramen, but with different broader noodles. I was hoping it was going to be wide like ho fun noodles with big soup flavors since there were two packets …but it was less broad.
If you bid on any of the fancy dinners from the last post, here’s something you can afford with the rest of your money.
Name: Braised Ribs Chicken Noodle
Brand: Hongfa (China) Group
Price: under $2
Contents: bucket of noodles with three seasoning packets (dried soup powder, paste, dried seasoning flakes)
Cooking: Fill hot water up to the line and cover for 3mins.
Results: For all the different packets included, it was surely disappointing in flavor. Pretty bland. I think this is the same company that made this one I reviewed. Maybe it’s a bucket thing. I’ve yet to have an instant noodle bucket that tastes better than a regular brick package. I really want to like you, bucket, but you really making want to kick you.
…The little plastic fork works surprisingly well.

Instant Ramen Review: Jja Jang Men Noodles
This Jja Jang Men (jajangmyeon) is wheat noodles and black bean sauce –popular in Korea.
Name: Jja Jang Men Noodle
Brand: Paldo
Contents: Brick of noodles and jajang sauce packet
Cooking: 5mins with 2 cups of boiling water. Heat the sauce packet in boiling water for a minute then mix it with the noodles.
Results: Very strong salty/sweet sauce, like hoisen or oyster sauce. The sauce had bits of potato and cabbage (I think). Tasted great after I added garlic chili paste to it. Nice thick noodles. I’d buy this again.
Name: Rice Vermicelli Duck Flavour
Brand: MAMA
Cost: around 59cents
Contents: Brick of dry vermicelli, seasoning pack & white goo pack
Cooking: 3mins with 2 cups of boiling water. I added dried mushrooms
Results: Great flavor. I don’t really taste duck, but licorice from the star anise seasoning. Best flavored broth so far. Not sure what that white goo is. Not sure if I want to know.

Instant Ramen Review: Nissin Spicy Flavor
Name: Nissin Spicy Flavor
Brand: Nissin
Cost: around 59cents
Contents: Brick of dry ramen, seasoning pack & red chili oil
Cooking: 3mins with 2 cups of boiling water. I added dried mushrooms
Results: It doesn’t look red as the package. Taste kind of like the Picante flavor they sell in America. I wish all that seafood stuff on the package picture was in here. That looks insane. And it also looks like a different type of noodle.
I liked how this says “Superior Soup”
Name: Fuku Superior Soup Instant Noodles
Brand: Fuku
Cost: less than $1
Package: Brick of dry ramen and seasoning pack
Cooking: The instructions were confusing. Put noodles in 450ml of boiling water or let it simmer in 500ml of boiling water. Which is it? I added dumplings.
Results: Very buttery tasting. My roommate thought the apartment smelled like popcorn. Maybe my belly was full of beer already, but this thing was very filling. The noodles seemed to have expanded a lot. I could only eat about a half of it. I don’t think the soup was superior, just very buttery.
