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 it. 
The pork broth is really good, not too salt!. It's the kind of broth I'll enjoy drinking after the noodles.
The noodles themselves are meh, just normal instant ramen noodles. The broth is really the shining star on this one
Final note, 9/10, my favorite ramen so far!

Kang Shi Fu's pickled veggies and beef ramen!

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...
