So with that in mind, I’m checking out the first of many limited-time Cup Noodle products from Nissin right here for your reading pleasure, with this Butter Chicken Curry flavor. Oh yes, and it comes in the “BIG” Cup Noodle size only.

Site-Exclusive Review: JML Artificial Stew Pork Flavor

It’s been a while since I reviewed something from Jin Mai Lang, also known as JML. I reviewed their Artificial Chicken Mushroom flavor way back when, and it did certainly deliver on both the chicken and the mushroom flavor, although the noodles weren’t really the best. Here with this variety, we’ve got a Chinese “stewed pork” flavor I’m not totally familiar with, but I do love trying new things, so this should be interesting.

Site-Exclusive Review: Maruchan Yakisoba Cheddar Cheese Flavor

Hey everyone, it’s time to get into the very first site-exclusive Noodle Journey review! If you’re confused about why this is a bunch of text with no video, check out the recent blog post explaining my decision to split up my reviews between the channel and this site.

Anyway… cheesy instant noodles. I think cheese may be the most divisive ingredient I’ve ever encountered in instant noodles (aside from all the stuff in the gimmick flavors out there). Here we have Maruchan combining a cheese sauce with their yakisoba noodles into what I’m imagining is going to be a glorified mac and cheese with minimal-to-no Asian flavors.
