Nogshim's beef Pot or Pan!

I know I've been away for a while. Life's been a little bit crazy for me recently. But when I saw this new ramen pack in my grocery store, it automatically tingled my reviewer senses!


This thing was 79 cents a pack so I wasn't expecting much. And with Nomgshim, it's really hit or miss.

Except the noodles, we have:


A dry broth pack, some dehydrated meat and carrots (well...half a pack) and...salt
Yep. Just salt.
Oh well.

The broth goes in!


It was really interesting. Immediately it started smelling like grilled meat!
I also added half the pack of salt, just in case.

And now the veggies/meat pack


Yep. That's...all there was. Pretty disappointing really.

Luckily I had my own  veggies this time!


And now the taste:
At first, I was really impressed by the noodle's quality! They're fairly large and chewy, they hold their shape well and have a great feel under the tooth.

The little meatballs are packed with tasty spices and really bring that 79c pack to another level. It's really sad there were only half a packet...

The broth is not as tasty as it smells, but it's still pretty tasty and hearty. 

Overall, I gotta rate this ramen a 7/10 for a great surprise under a dollar!

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...
