Noodle Journey Episode 154: Fu Chung Village Dry Noodles Basil and Clam Flavor

Notes since filming:

As is just my luck, the store I bought this from stopped carrying Fu Chung products almost immediately after I filmed this review. If anyone from Fu Chung sees this and would like to get in touch to send me some more review samples, email me! I loved this product so much more than I expected to.

Original video description:

Here’s an impulse buy I found at my local Asian market: a Taiwanese company I had never heard of before doing a basil and clam dry noodle. But wait, there’s a big twist to this product! If you’re a fan of Taiwanese noodles and/or crazy food chemistry, you’re going to want to check out this review.

Noodle Journey Episode 153: Indomie Mi Goreng Hot & Spicy

Original video description:

I’m back with another Indomie review! This time, I’ll be taking a look at their Hot & Spicy Mi Goreng. You might think that this tastes the same as the normal Mi Goreng pack but with added spice, but it’s a bit more complex than that. Check out the review for more info.

Noodle Journey: Shin Zha Wang – A Nongshim Noodle Hack

Notes since filming:

As I mentioned in my Momofuku video, there’s nothing wrong with calling something like this a “hack,” and I say that as someone who’s literally been “hacking” away at software for my entire professional career.

Original video description:

Recipe time! This noodle hack comes straight from Nongshim’s website. Today we’re going to find out what happens when you mix the tasty black bean Zha Wang flavor with the always-reliable Shin Ramyun.

Noodle Journey Episode 152: Nissin Cup Noodles Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese

Notes since filming:

A lot of people have mentioned how much they hate the “sauce” in this since I filmed the review. I didn’t find the sauce to be the weak point here, but maybe that’s just me. Honestly, if Nissin just retooled this variety a little bit, it would be pretty good.

Original video description:

Here’s another crazy flavor from Nissin! In the same vein as their Pumpkin Spice and Breakfast flavors, here is their brand-new limited-edition Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese flavor. If you are at all intrigued, you’ll want to check out my review.

Noodle Journey Special Presentation: Just Sweet Sour Noodles

Notes since filming:

While I originally filmed this as an April Fool’s joke, I’m really surprised by how many people have asked for help finding it to purchase. My friends, it’s just sour gummy candy. Buy a bag of Sour Patch Kids or whatever your local Dollar Tree/Dollar General/Five Below has in stock and you’ll get the exact same flavor.

Original video description:

Here we have an extra special totally serious review of an imported Turkish noodle product found at Dollar Tree of all places! What amazing flavors does this bag of noodles hide?
