I’ve had this package of Kumamoto Red Hot Spicy Ramen on my review queue for a while now and have been looking forward to eating them. I love a good bowl of authentic Japanese ramen and as these were a little higher on the cost scale I thought perhaps they might be a slice of Japanese authentic ramen. They are of the long noodle variety which is more common in Japan, so the hope was building.
Ottogi Jjajang Bokki Noodles
New Bokki and another Ottogi bokki ramen to review for my faithful followers. The candidate for the day is Ottogi Jjajang Bokki Noodles! The ramen revolution has begun and the momentum we build forging a future of ramen dominance is at hand. Lend me your ears and appetites so that we can quell the unknowing masses about the greatness that is RAMEN.
Ottogi Ramen Bokki
I was at the store and saw this Ottogi Ramen Bokki staring at me and I mistakenly thought that it was a version of ttoekbokki. Apparently bokki means stir fry though and this was not the case. I was a bit disappointed at this but was happy to find that the flavor for these is very similar to my favorite chewy Korean street food ttoekbokki.
Mama Spicy Basil Stir-Fried Noodles
Mama Spicy Basil Stir-Fried Noodles are Mama’s take on a classic Thai meal. If I were to pick a dish that practically all Thai people eat and that is as common as the hamburger for the US it would have to be Stir-fried Basil in all it’s variations. This dish is eaten with rice more commonly but stir-fried in noodles is available in nearly every food court in the country. I’ve experienced this dish in Thailand so many times that I’ve lost count long ago and I’ll share with you what I think of Mama’s version of this dish.
Paldo Teumsae Ramyun
Paldo Teumsae Ramyun has been rated as one of the Top 10 Spiciest Ramens for two years by The Ramen Rater. I’ve certainly eaten a lot of ramen in my life and I disagree with Hans. I’ll not even try to compare myself with the venerable Ramen Rater but I think several of his spiciest ramens are not worthy of the top ten list. Once I’ve eaten the ones I think should go there I’ll make a list like his but for now, I’ll just let you know about this fine piece of ramen cuisine.
Ruski Beef Flavored Noodles
Ruski Beef Flavored Noodles are produced by Thai President Foods (Mama) in Thailand. Looking into their site it looks like that division primarily manufactures Halal food. I was interested as Mama is leading company in Thailand for noodles and Mama has become synonymous with noodles in Thailand. It’s similar to Hoover becoming synonymous for vacuum in the UK or Q-Tip being used interchangeably with cotton swab in the US.
Ottogi Spicy Rice Cake Tteokbokki Noodles
When I saw Ottogi Spicy Rice Cake Tteokbokki Noodles it reminded me of the time I lived in Korea for a while and when I went back a couple years ago. The food I had while Iwas back was just like I remembered it from having lived there. I loved tteokbokki and have not had the best experiences finding it outside Korea, at least not good tteokbokki. So I was a little skeptical about this being very good. What a fantastic surprise to find I was wrong…..

Samyang Bajirak Kalgugsu
Samyang Bajirak Kalgugsu is a clam soup. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from our friends at Samyang in this pack. The package shows clams, mushrooms and a slightly flat noodles.
Ottogi Cheese Ramen
I was told that Ottogi Cheese Ramen was spicy and since it was from Ottogi and therefore Korea why wouldn’t I believe it? The packaging shows a bowl of red soup with broccoli, corn, cheese, ham? and carrots in it. The red would come from kimchi? The entire bowl is being reigned over by a cheese headed fairy spitting cheese dust into the soup. Continue reading “Ottogi Cheese Ramen”
FF Tom Yum Shrimp
FF didn’t come out so well on their Tom Kha Gai noodles so I wanted to see if their FF Tom Yum Shrimp was any better. The packaging again says they’re Halal so I would think that this company specializes in Halal products. The wrapper show a very red soup with shrimp, lime, mushrooms and kafir lime leaf.
