The Cheap Reviewer

After a light lemongrass soup, I was craving for something more...substantial and hearty for my next ramen. I headed in the cup noodles section and found this little guy: No translation anywhere on the cup, no pictures of ramen, not even instructions in english! Only this wierd picture of what seems like some veggies in some brown sauce. Mabe pork? I was completely intrigued and bought the cup even though it was a little bit over my usual very cheap budget. contents included: -The noodles, wrapped on their own (what a waste of plastic!). They were pretty large for ramen noodles! -Some very bright orange sauce. I hope it's not too spicy... -Soy sauce? -2 packets with some dry stuff in them. There were veggies drawings on the side -a sick foldable fork! Now, without instructions, I just cooked the noodles, drained some of the water since there was a lot of other sauces, and added the ingredients. This is the final result: What a me

In my recent trip to chinatown, I was looking for some light ramen to warm me up in this dreaded canadian winter. I stumbled on this packet in a grocery store, on sale for 50 cents. Fun little remark: in english, the pack says it's sour soup, but in french right under it, it says it's lemon flavour. Anyway, it sure satisfied my cravings! Now let's see what's in that pack. Well...except for the noodles, we have...this grainy mess of a packet. That's it, nothing else! Usually packets with that kind of texture are garlic oil packets, but they usually also have another packet for broth! Oh well that suspicious packet better be filled with some tasty stuff! Now going back to the noodles. I wanted to point out to you guys how...dark they looked I've never seen anything like it! And here's what they look like once cooked: This is JUST the noodles and water. Nothing else was added. Now it was time to add the mystery packet.
