Mystery noodle cup!



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 messy, glorious, tasty bundle in a cup!

The orange pack was actually...peanut sauce! Very tasty.
What I tought was soy sauce was a very tanguy sauce.
The blue back contained dried veggies and the pink one had some powdered broth.

Now for the taste:
It was delicious! The tanguy sauce cut through the thickness of the peanut sauce. It tasted like a meal I could get in an asian restaurant. Didn't feel like cup ramen at all! It was a filling and hearty meal in a cup.

Final note:  a solid 8/10. A tasty surprise!

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...
