MAMA's creamy Tomyum

 Today's ramen is MAMA's creamy shrimp Tomyum.
 I have eaten some ramen from the MAMA brand but not this one, that I found in a wierd Chinatown store...
Looking at the pack leaves me this question:
How is this gonna be ''creamy''?
Oh well, let's cook these noodles and look inside the pack!


Pack includes this: noodles and 3 packs of stuff (thick sauce, dry sauce and chili powder)

Ouh, that thick sauce is spicy! I'm lucky I tasted before putting in on the noodles. For the sake of my tastebuds I only added 3/4 of the packet

Now the powder sauce and the chili powder! The powder sauce has a wierd smell, a...sour one? I'm starting to be wierded out by this ramen, I hope it's good! It would be a shame to lose those 56 cents.

All mixed! It looks pretty good I must say, with some hope it'll taste as good!


 The flavor is...interesting. But in a good way. The sourness I smelled is a lime taste, very present. There's no ''creaminess'' as advertised but I can taste the shrimp Tomyum.

 And I'm glad I didn't put all the thick sauce because just 2/3 and the and chili made it just hot enough to pack a punch without overpowering the whole taste.

As always with MAMA, the noodles are pretty normal, but keep well their texture.

My personal note is a 8/10.

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...
