2x Spicy Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen

I was looking back through my older posts and found that I had tasted both the ramen cup and ramen bowl versions of the 2x Spicy Samyang buldak ramen. I had recently been given a few packets of the 2x spicy buldak, so I figured I should review it and see how I like it 8 years after I last tried that flavour!

Cup Noodle Review: Maggi Hot Cup - Goreng Asli

So, 3 years after Nestle discontinued my favourite Maggi Hot Cup flavour, they released a similar flavour in 2025: the Maggi Hot Cup Goreng Asli!

Is this the return of my comfort cup noodle?

Maggi Hot Cup Kari with Milo

This time I'll be talking about the Maggi Curry noodles, but with a little something extra.

Maggi Curry in cup form!

Cup Noodle Review: Maggi Hot Cup - Goreng Cili Fiesta

Since I posted that funny story of those Maggi Cup Mi Goreng, I might as well make a review of my favourite available (as of 2020) local cup noodle, the Maggi Hot Cup Goreng Cili Fiesta!

Maggi Cup Mi Goreng - A Funny Story

So I have a funny food story, and it involves the Maggi Letup Goreng Kari Berasap (which, sadly, has been discontinued), and the Maggi Hot Cup Goreng Cili Fiesta (which thankfully, still exists).

Why do my favourite flavours keep disappearing...?

Lost Flavours 2019 (Part 2)

Last post I talked about the loss of Nissin's Cream of Chicken Flavour. Today, I'll talk about the other flavour that's disappeared from the shelves: The Maggi Hot Cup Peppery Sayur flavour.

I still do not have the real thing.

Lost Flavours 2019 (Part 1)

It's almost the end of 2019 and it's been a while since I've posted anything in this blog. Apologies for that. I figured I should at least write about a couple of local flavours now lost in 2019, and those flavours happened to be my favourites too... 

Comfort Food No.1

What differentiates lost flavours from the limited special flavours that regularly come out of Japan (for example), is that it's kinda expected that you won't see those limited special flavours again (unless it's brought back by popular demand). What hurts with lost flavours is that you think it'll stay around forever, but because it happens to be a flavour that's not popular enough to justify keeping on the shelves, the flavour just disappears without warning.

Also, this is part 1 of Lost Flavours, the second part will cover the second flavour lost to mankind.

Muji Mini Ramen (Kimchi & Chicken)

Here's something a little different: Mini instant ramen from Muji! I actually had these a while ago but only found the time now to write their reviews (as you can see from their expiration dates). Anyway, I'm covering two flavours, kimchi and chicken. There's also a Tom Yam Kung flavour which I have not tried yet, but I will try it some time in the future.

But for now, we'll start with the Kimchi flavour first!

American Nissin Cup Noodle - Chicken Vegetable Flavor

So, I felt I haven't really been fair with the previous US Nissin Cup Noodles that I have tried previously. To expect something legitimately spicy from the US is quite unrealistic of me. Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding what spicy means in the US. Or maybe my taste buds have been dulled from all the spicy foods I've been eating for most of my life. Well, that's enough salt from me, this time I'm trying a non-spicy flavour to see if it's just me or if it's the cup noodles that are the problem*.

This seemed the safest to try.

Cup Noodle Review: Rich Cup Noodle - Uni (Sea Urchin) Cream Flavour

Heya, it's the (Chinese) New Year, so let's celebrate it with an addition to the Rich Cup Noodle series: The Luxuriously Rich Uni Cream Flavour!

Mamee Daebak - Spicy Kimchi Cup Noodle

So... it turns out there was more than one flavour of cup noodle from the Mamee Daebak brand. I mean, look at it, it's almost indistinguishable from the other one I tried some weeks back! If it took the price tags on the supermarket shelf to tell me that there are actually two different flavours, I think that is a failure in packaging design!

Btw, this was the flavour the famous Korean dude tried out, not the fried chicken one.

Anyway, I digress. Now that I've discovered it, it is my duty to try it out and compare it with the other one!

American Nissin Cup Noodle - Hot and Spicy Shrimp

I haven't learnt from my last experiences with these US cup noodles, but this was a flavour I did not see the last time I was at the supermarket, so I was curious to try it as well.

Ooh, maroon!

The label says "Hot" "and" "Spicy," so it's gotta have at least a bit of spice, right? Let's find out!

Mamee Daebak - Spicy Fried Chicken Cup Noodle

So, for some reason I only just found out that this flavour from Mamee (a local brand) cup noodle existed. And some famous(?) Korean dude gave his approval of it, so it should be quite good?

Well, it certainly has piqued my interest. Time to try it!

American Nissin Cup Noodle - Spicy Lime Shrimp

Here's the Spicy Lime Shrimp flavour of the Nissin Cup Noodles of The West!

Time to see how it compares to the Spicy Chile Chicken flavour!

American Nissin Cup Noodle - Spicy Chile Chicken Flavor

So, I was surprised to find Nissin Cup Noodles from the US at my local grocery store. Needless to say, I bought a couple to try them out. 8D

I deliberately went with "spicy," lol.

I'm reviewing the Spicy Chile Chicken flavour first, and I will cover the Spicy Lime Shrimp flavour in the next blog post!

Cup Noodle Review: BIG Cup Noodle - Potato & Chicken Nuggets (with black pepper & soy sauce) Flavour

Here's another one of those unusual flavours from Japan. This one has potato & chicken nuggets ("potenage" for short) with black pepper and soy sauce flavour. (Also, why must they have such long names for the flavour? 8D;;)

It's bigger than the regular ones.

Cup Noodle Review: Pleasantly Spicy Cheese Sundubu Flavour

This is another Japanese cup noodle flavour I got recently. It's from the time of the Winter Olympics 2018. The flavour is based on sundubu-jjigae, a Korean soft tofu stew (because the Winter Olympics was held at Pyeongchang, South Korea). The big red kanji says that there's pure/genuine tofu in it, so it should be good.

I like that it's made to support the Japanese participants in the Winter Olympics.

Cup Noodle Review: Milk Seafood Noodle (With extra cheese topping!)

So it's apparently the 10th anniversary of the Milk Seafood flavour? To celebrate, there is apparently extra cheese (or something that resembles it) inside. Well, more cheese is good for me!

Cheese oozing over MILK.

Cup Noodle Review: Rich Cup Noodle - Matsutake mushroom cream flavour

It's been a while since I've seen a new flavour from the Rich Cup Noodle series, and I had the fortune of buying a few cups in my recent trip to Japan. This one's the Matsutake fragrant rich mushroom cream flavour! (An autumn flavour if I'm not mistaken)

The flavour description at the bottom is pretty darn long, lol

2x Spicy Samyang Hot Chicken Flavour Ramen Bowl

It's the new year, so let's kick it off with something explosive, the bowl version of the 2x Spicy Samyang Hot Chicken ramen!

I had no idea what I was getting into.
