Instant Noodle Review

2 - a very promising start with great flavours from the rich fermented soya paste and floating sesame seeds. Unfortunately as the tastebuds grew weary on MSG the flavours diminished and the rest of the culinary experience was dominated by the texture of the rubbery noodles. Dylski

2 - hot in a peppery way. Maybe a little tomatoness to it too. Not much else to it. Dylski

3 - if you’re not looking for spice or heat but a strong porky sort-of flavour then these should hit the spot. Dylski

5 - wickedly red rich soup with distinctive spices that set it apart from the usual ‘hot and spicy’. The word ‘fantastic’ was uttered afterwards so i think they deserve top marks. Dylski

3.5 - pretty good seafood flavour with plenty of salty seaweed. Chunky spongy noodles and a hot spicy soup. Dylski

2 - the aromatic toasted sesame oil and sesame seed sprinkles failed to deliver on taste. Dylski

4 - spicy, peppery and hot. Mmm. After reviewing the hotter version of this and hearing feedback from Ian on this one I’ve revised this one’s score to 4. Ian thinks it deserves 5. I need to try it again myself. Dylski

1 - not really that great. Filling and salty. Dylski

2.5 - a bit tasteless for my liking although it’s not a bad chicken soup. The soup finishes with a sprinkling of sweet goji berries which is a great suprise. Dylski

4 - tasty chicken noodle soup with a hot and peppery flavour, which came as a suprise because the packaging was rather uninspiring (bar the intriguing dripping sachet) and there was no English description or instructions. Dylski

4 - great spicy soup with lots of tasty seaweed that gives it the edge when it comes to depth of flavour and breadth in texture. Dylski

4 - a firey-red soup with taste to match. Heat starts off on a good footing; remains fairly consistent throughout; and then builds to a crescendo without getting too hot, leaving your mouth zinging and a little numb. Dylski

2 - started off quite good with a healthy dollop of toasted sesame oil, giving a great aroma, and the soup powder providing a pleasant seaweed-like flavour. Ended up becomining a little samey and too salty though. Dylski

3.5 hot, hot, hot. Satisfying beefiness and copious noodles make for a fine lunchtime combo - ian

3 - The sachet contents, which give out an impressive aroma, make a decent clear beefy soup. Much credit probably due to the tallow content; beefy flavouring being just one of its wonderful qualities. Dylski
