LET THE GAMES BEGIN
I realized I buy them interchangeably and never noticed… I thought it was all called top ramen because you cook it on a stove top
Shin, Black
Buldak because their chicken flavor is artificial 🥰
I love the fancy ones with like three or four packets inside.
I humbly offer this alternative for your consideration:
Maruchan, without question.
Maruchan always
Go to your local Asian market and they will have a very wide selection of instant noodles that are much better than either of these.
Also grab some LaoGanMa Spicy Chili Crisp to put in it, you can thank me later.
Indomie, MAMA are great. Any other names that come to mind?
I’ll never forget when my girlfriend introduced me to Lao Gan Ma crispy chili in oil. Honestly salivating a little just by thinking of it right now. I ate it just about every day for a week, after first trying it. And the smell! Absolutely divine. I do need to keep it wrapped in 3 bags though, for it not to smell up the entire fridge, haha.
I can’t seem to find plain noodles that taste as good as the noodles that come in these little packets. Do you have a brand or type you’d recommend?
Shin noodles are really good, but they are kind of spicy, they also come in packs like those pictured.
Thanks, I love those. They are a little spicy, I agree.
I ended up trying some nissin demae and they weren’t spicy at all and were super delicious
Indomie :p
Indomie is my back-up Ramen
Ah yes, lets name the spaghetti after body parts
Everybody ought to have two boxes of spare elbows. You never know.
Also the only spaghetti here were named, you guessed it, spaghetti. So I’m’a sure you’ra keeping youra spaghetties in your panties, eh?
Yes, together with my’a two pieces of gnocci. Would you’a lika somee sauce with that?
What, you don’t like scrottini?
Only with Alfredo sauce
Eat it raw, drink the boiling water. Look across the table and call your horrified friends/relatives/coworkers pussies.
Not deep fried in vegetable oil or lard and much healthier for you while costing less afaik.
I pick top ramen, but I’ve been trying better than bouyon with race/egg noodles
BEHOLD
A limited edition Maruchan ceramic cup, as proof of my allegiance.
I’m actually boiling some noodles rn XD.
In Norway SamYang Buldak spicy seems to be all the rage. Spicy as fuck tho’
Reading this thread I went to the asian market and got the Nongahim Shin Premium Black. Will test that later
Buldak 2x spicy and the habanero lime flavours are my go to! Love them!
Also love these:
habanero lime
France is a bit too traditional regarding food, so hot foods and things like habanero lime are rarities. People here think that tabasco is extra hot. But it’s not about the hotness, but there are some actually tasty sauces that aren’t sold here (they can be found online after much searching) because they are hot, or mildly hot.
Ah well, there’s still an immense wealth of food, and we actually know how to use it, so it’s not bad, but there’s bits that are seemingly like “off limits”. Like, no, this is what wild people eat.

Sounds like you should start growing your own hot peppers! That’s what I’ve been doing the past 2 years. I love it!
I’m not in a place where it’s easy to grow fruit. I don’t get enough sun for that. But it’s ok, I finally found some tasty sauces, off the beaten path.
Any leads on the green pack? Why’d they disappear? Perfect level of spice.
Thats the vegetable one? https://www.asianfood.no/nongshim-soon-veggie-ramyun-20x112g
Meant samyang. Packaging looks odd in link.
The nongshim premium black is great. they have a bone broth version that’s even better
Mama brand creamy shrimp tom yum flavor. The best!
If you can find it, look for the Indonesian version of ramen from Indomie. In my opinion, so much better - it actually has other flavors than salt! ;)
Agree. These are baller.
Indomie comes with its own cute little oil packet suspending oil-soluble spices. =D
