Joyrex Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 http://ramenrater.wordpress.com/ Some great products here I've never heard of - of course, it's always better fresh, but for a snack when you're in a hurry, nothing beats instant noodles.

Guest sirch Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 I love noodles. nothing beats noodles and Chinese food. apart from, maybe, kebabs and BBQ. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest boo Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 but for a snack when you're in a hurry, nothing beats instant noodles. i never get this. first you have to hydrate them and wait for them to soften. then wait for it to cool a bit or drain it if you're going for dry. put sriracha and seaweed or whatever on it if you want some veg. scramble an egg if you want some protein. too much like cooking. whereas you can just pick up a pasty and it's ready to go. it has everything. you can get ones with sriracha in them probably. so pasty beats ramen.

spratters Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I never really get noodles although I love to eat them. Pot noodles are top of the shit list though. My brother lived on 5p noodles for 3 months when he was over in Australia. Once they found a note on the floor and spent what they didn't spend on goon, on bread so they could have noodle sandwiches.

Erm, no - Instant Noodles, like the name implies, are usually ready in 3 minutes via microwave or stovetop - add water, cook - if that's too much effort, well, then I don't know what to say.

ambermonk Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 My favorite brand of instant noodle as of late is Nong Shim. However, if you've ever been to Japan and tried their ramen, you'll realize it's not the same. It'll alter your understanding of ramen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 These are by far my favourite ramen noodles I've eaten to date - And yes it does indeed have ' Addition more 8% apple juice In soup '! Bought them for the Engrish but they turned out to be bloody gorgeous, my mouth is watering just thinking about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I really like Japanese fresh ramen, I'm not a big fan of their instant ramen (not that I've tried all the varieties, but what I have tried I haven't really been down with). Went to Santouka (famous ramen chain) last night, so good. Korean instant ramyun (like Nong Shim's varieties) are fucking dope though! These are by far my favourite ramen noodles I've eaten to date - And yes it does indeed have ' Addition more 8% apple juice In soup '! Bought them for the Engrish but they turned out to be bloody gorgeous, my mouth is watering just thinking about them. What's funny is Korean people wouldn't call that ramyun - it's bibimmyun. Subtle difference. And instant bibimmyun doesn't compare to the real thing at all. Yet their "fresh" ramyun is basically identical, as they use packaged noodles and just add different ingredients based on price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keltoi Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 how can the guy fairly rate the different products if he keeps putting extra shit in it fair point. he's adding processed cheese? is that an acceptable addition to noodles? i'm a bit of ramen-noob.

keltoi Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ok he does say this... Of course, I only review the base product before the extras are added in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
