Pancit Canton's Kalamansi ramen

Today's ramen has been found in a grocery store, wedged between normal Mr.Noodle packs as if it didn't belong here
I don't know what kalamansi tastes like...

Oh wow! So much text, in so many different languages!

Except noodles, the pack contains: dry sauce, oil and what seems to be soy sauce (they really want me to feel lucky, that shit's written all over the packets)

And in the dry sauce goes! It smells kinda sour, like my pho ramen from last time . Hope it will taste as good!

Woah OIL SPILL! I put both sauces in this picture, but the sweet soy sauce got drowned by the oil. The oil seems to be flavored (I know this cause those feken packets leak everywhere and I got some on my fingers)

luckily the oil seems to be mixing well now that I put the dry sauce in And now, for the taste...

wow...it tastes like...

nothing.

I mean, I can taste some delicate flavors and they seem to be good, but they're so delicate even the taste of the noodles overpower them!

Tasting the broth only, I can taste some lime and veggies flavors, maybe some pork

but meh overall note 4/10. Not worth it.
Pancit Canton can keep hiding between Mr.Noodle packs.

Kang Shi Fu's pickled veggies and beef ramen!

On my last ramen run in chinatown I decided to splurge and take one of these ramen ''bowls''. Usually I keep my ramen budget in a 0.50$-2$ range and this lil' purple tube here was around 3$. Let's check it out! I never tasted pickled vegetables, even less in a ramen. Also, I didn't take a good angle to show it, but the bowl was littered with pictures of KungFu Panda. The only way I could know what I was eating was through this translated label as all the rest isn't in english. Alright, let's open up! Except the noodles we have as follow: chili paste, powdered beef broth, dehydrated veggies and meat, pickled veggies and a foldable fork I must say I find the foldable fork super neat! powdered broth goes in first. Smells like a normal beef ramen broth. So far so good! Yikes! I wasn't expecting that from the pickled veggies! The smell isn't bad but the look and slimy texture surprised me. In goes the chili paste! I...

Nissin's pork and black garlic ramen!

Today's ramen is Nissin's pork and black garlic ramen! I usually really like pork ramen, but with Nissin it's really hit or miss when it comes to taste/quality. I bought a 6-pack of these for around 4$, so I hope they're good! Let's see how it is! Except the noodles, the pack contains a soup base and the garlic oil. So far, pretty classic. I wish there was some dried veggies! In goes the soup base. It smells pretty good already. It's off to a good start! and now the garlic oil! Traditionally it's black garlic pieces in some white ''oil'' , but here it's just black oil. It strongly smells of roasted garlic and sesame oil, I love it! Sadly, this little splurt is all that was in the packet... As you can see, the oil doesn't mix with the sauce, it just pools around And now for the taste... I really enjoyed this ramen, but I would've liked the oil to be more present, I almost don't taste...
