So my previous favorite was Nongshim Shin.

was at H Mart the other day (Korean market) and decided to mix it up. Picked up a box of 2 different typed I hadn't tried before.

and

These are my 2 new favorites. They're both good but the Volcano might be slightly better. Got me wondering whether I'm missing out on some other amazing brands of instant noodles.

What's your favorite instant noodles?

I wish I could eat that without getting headaches.

Pot Noodle is the primary brand that I've eaten in the past, though I stopped having them when they supposedly gave you cancer. Must have been a stupid prank around high school, but I fell out of them and haven't had noodles in a while.

[Werewolf Jones]

Best ones are in the OP. Lol

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Indomie.

 

[nush]

Cup Noodles and this particular brand of Tomato Egg noodles.

 

[Fbh]

Yeah Nongshim Shin for me too. They are great, both the regular as well as the Black Variant

I do admit though that I have a soft spot for the Maggi Chicken Flavor ones:

They aren't particularly good. But they are pure nostalgia to me as I loved these as a kid and they were the default meal when my mom would occasionally come home too late and tired to cook.

As per Korean ramyun - I like Ottogi Jin Ramen (mild) the best for all around. Price, flavor and general quality.

As per Japanese Instant Ramen/soba/udon

I'm definitely "green" one. Maruchan's tanuki soba. Red isn't that bad, but I just love tempura in general...

As per Nissin.
I have kinda nostalgic memory to Nissin cup noodles.
When I was poor art student in college, Nissin noodles - 5 per a dollar in local HyVee in Iowa was a literally a life saver.

Then when I started working, the first year - our Union had a strike/walk-out. As I just started working, I had no money saved and was literally starving... and my shift for the protest was midnight to 8am, during mid winter (holiday season), on windy NYC west end ave. So cold and all... and union office sent out nissin cup noodles for us to warm the body up.

So yeah. Nissin for me, is a memory of hardships lol...
..



Nissin, I get you. lol.

 

[Dark Star]

Shin is the best.

I also like Nissin big cup noodles, they come with a packet of veggies.

These bad boys with some fried shallots, spring onion slices and an egg added. My daughter loves em too.

 

[TheTurboFD]

Bro Nongshim Shin with an egg and a slice of american cheese melted is the greatest.

You had me at egg then lost me at american cheese

Actually melted cheese in spicy soup makes it a bit smoother. You should give it a go when you get a chance. Strange, but it works.

That "hot spicy chicken" noodle you mentioned, I think it has the variations of ones with different kind of cheese too.

Momosan noodle is also really good. As well as Sun Ramen.

This or fuck off.

The vast majority of Japanese instant noodles are bland.

[KiNeMz]

Ever since my Childhood friend introduced me to these. I've been eating them for 20+ years.

The best!!!!!

been there. I’ve taken a laxative and eaten one of these bad boys (not at the same time):

 

[Artoris]

kimchi ramyun

 

[MrMephistoX]

Kang Shifu they aren’t even that good but I crave them because they banned the beef flavor in the US it’s borderline impossible to find!

 

[German Hops]

 

[GeekyDad]

Served me well through college, but no...can't go back to that shit. My wife is Korean. No need to go back to that shit.

My old man brought these home one day; I figured they were just some off brand cheapo noodles from a cheap shop. As soon as I saw the sauce I was like......errr hang on. Checked the packet and saw the Made in S. Korea label and figured these might be legit.

Fucking pretty legit alright. I like spicy but they were certainly passing the 'hot' point to painful by the end. None of the other pussies have eaten a pack yet after my 'review'. They taste bloody good tho.

Of note we also have a carolina reaper bush in the yard. I always wondered 'how bad' can they be. Turns out pretty fucking horrendous is the answer.

 

[nightmare-slain]

i honestly can't pick. anyway, haven't seen these posted...

not a fan of the chicken flavour but curry or the stir fried ones

also tried these recently and i'm in love

i remember long time ago here in the UK when i used to visit my granda i'd get a pack of instant noodles out the local LIDL and they were fucking AMAZING but i don't remember the name of them. have never been able to find them. for some reason i'm thinking Ko Lee but any of the ones i've tried don't even come close. ah well, i still got Koka <3

Pot Noodle is the primary brand that I've eaten in the past, though I stopped having them when they supposedly gave you cancer. Must have been a stupid prank around high school, but I fell out of them and haven't had noodles in a while.

pot noodles taste so bland now. don't get me wrong i still eat them but i miss how they tasted 15-20 years ago (yeah i'm old). the soy sauce is basically just water now so i need to stick in my own to give some taste to it. when it comes to flavours it's either Chicken & Mushroom or Bombay Bad Boy. never really been a fan of the others.

do you remember Posh Noodles? i miss them too can't remember what year they were out (maybe 2004 or so) they were a kinda of limited edition thing.

also they do packets of noodles now. i tried them but it's just not the same as eating out a pot !

These bad boys with some fried shallots, spring onion slices and an egg added. My daughter loves em too.

ohhhh fuck. i tried them and they are beautiful.

These are pretty good but why are they so small.

 

[GymWolf]

Costco sell a jumbo size, daughter demands them over regular supermarket size.

Did not know these exist, thanks for the heads up!

So you can eat three packets and not feel guilty.

obviously...

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

When I see these soups, I imagine they are dehydrated diapers.

 

[AJUMP23]

I have never eaten any of these brands, I have only ever had the Walmart in a bag Ramen.

If it's bigger, it'll be more expensive, most of Indonesians can't afford them. By the way, how do guys know this noodle? It's so legendary in Indonesia.

These are what I came in to say. So damn good.

I spotted them in a Walmart a few years ago and decided to give them a go. Now they are my go to.

So many foods are available in Aussie supermarkets and local Asian grocery stores. We have foods from all over, so many cultures in Melbourne, Australia. I swear my local shop has at least 50 types of noodles on the shelf. My daughter has tried 75% of them. One of the fun things we do when travelling is to just pick random foods from local stores and give them a go. The kids get a kick out of it too, we tried so much in Thaliand and Bali and Singapore.
