Orange packet of shin ramen noodles, kimchi flavour
Two steaming bowls if noodles in dark red brown sauce topped with green veg
#NoodleTuesday haven’t had one of these for a few weeks as life has stopped B & I eating together on Tuesdays for some reason. Incredibly filling! Took ages to eat! Good spice but not specifically kimchi-ish 4/5
A shiny gold packet of nissin brand demae ramen, miso flavour
Two steaming bowls of noodles in a dark brown broth, topped with fried green vegetables
#NoodleTuesday - more depth to this flavour than I’d expected; very filling, but needed the veg for texture. 2.5/5
A red packet of instant ramen, nissin brand, roast beef flavour
Two bowls of noodle soup in orange-brown broth , topped with carrots and courgettes
Nearly forgot #NoodleTuesday ! This was Ok - B guessed beef, he’s getting better at the “generic meat” flavours (as far as I can tell it’s veggie!). Topped with ginger soy veg. Filling, a bit dull 2.5/5
A mostly green packet of instant boodles, Soon veggie ramen
Two bowls of noodles in a light amber broth, topped with red and green fried veggies
A banner #NoodleTuesday today as B made the noodles for me (quick turnaround between me coming back from campus and a date with a Japanese whisky tasting) obvs cannot score less than 5/5
A cream coloured packet if instant boodles, samyang tangle brand “garlic oil pasta” flavour
Two large ramen bowls with noodles in a pale broth, topped with peas and sweetcorn
#NoodleTuesday a rare lunchtime noodle opportunity today, so trying the more “western” flavour option. Thought this might be dull but there’s a kick of chili and reconstituted roast garlic which is ace. Filling 3.5/5 (still a *bit* boring)
Gold packet of instant noodles, demae ramen Japanese curry flavour
Two bowls of noodles in pale beige broth topped with brown fake meat .
#NoodleTuesday this is what we’d call “Chip shop curry” flavour here which, friends is a wormhole of colonialism and immigrant food history. Accessorised w/ home made soy & chilli seitan + edamame beans left over from conference catering b/c we are a classy household of foragers. Extremely mid 2.5/5
A mostly yellow packet of instant noodles with japanese text.
Two bowls of noodles in dark brown broth, topped with green veg and sliced spring onions/scallions
Completely forgot to post #NoodleTuesday yesyerday. This is a very light soy stock, extremely filling. I found it has a strange “wholemeal” cardboardy flavour which I think is a note off the specific sort of soy 2.5/5
A shiny yellow-green packet of instant noodles, mama brand, green curry flavour
Two bowls of noodles in broth, topped with mixed stir fried vegetabkes
#NoodleTuesday despite the small portions I love the flavours of this one- distinctive, identifiable, sufficient heat. Just wish there was more! 4.5/5
A large cardboard box filled with dozens of packets of instant noodles
#NoodleTuesday update - the Spring 2026 season has arrived! (Still a few weeks of winter 2025/26 to go…)
A packet of instant noodles: authentic spicy amakara flavour.
Two bowls of noodle soup, an range brown stock with green veg and half a soft boiled egg
#NoodleTuesday an odd one - basic spicy oiled soup, but the noodles had a strange wholemeal flavour. It definitely needed the add ins, but B really liked the noodle flavour so I’ve bumped it up a half point 2.5/5
Down to a few packets so just ordered a new batch for Spring 2026 season!
Packet of instant noodles, shin ramyun brand, spicy & cream flavour.
Two bowls of instant noodles with peas & sweetcorn
#NoodleTuesday scraping the barrel today as we’ve eaten all the fresh veg in the house and all the frozen prepped veg dishes and the veg box doesn’t turn up until tomorrow.
Creamy, spicy, filling food for an icy day 3/5
A green packet of instant noodles. There is no english language labelling on the packet: google translate says “i’m very tasty! Scallion oil scent!”
Two bowls of noodles topped with lots of stir fried green and red veg.
#NoodleTuesday - usually we are a bit disappointed by the brothless noodles but these were something new - scallion oil the main flavouring; good but would be way too oily just as a portion without the veg. Great noodle texture though 3.5/5
A packet of a-one chicken flavour instant noodles
Two bowls of very plain noodles in pale broth
Emergency fast #NoodleTuesday before whisky tasting. Perfectly fine generic spicy chicken flavour, noodles a bit too dense 2/5
A pink packet of instant noodles. No english language text is visible.
Two large bowls of Clear noodles in a bright pink soup, topped with green veg
A very belated #NoodleTuesday as B has been in the Big Smoke all week. I have no idea what this flavour was (pink?) but it was spicy tomato to me. Adequate. 2/5
Beige packet of instant noodles, samyang brand, creamy mushroom flavour
Two bowls of noodles in a creamy looking sauce, studded with green peas.
#NoodleTuesday - ringing the changes with a European-flavour profile. The mushrooms rehydrate well, sauce is salty and umami. Perfectly adequate middle of the road (but only a half point up on a mugshot). 2.5/5
Mostly yellow packet of instant noodles, wai wai brand, “sour soup flavour” according to the english language text, but the french text says citronne
Two bowls of light noodles in orange broth, topped with mixed beg and coriander leaves
Close up of cooking instructions on an orange packet which read “the good tasted noodles soup is now ready to serve”
#NoodleTuesday whoo hoo hoo we haven’t had a spicy one in a while. I don’t understand how eating the noodles can feel hotter than slurping the stock. Sour, clear lime flavour, filling, slightly too “wholemeal-y” noodles. 3.5/5 definitely tasted.
I'm making a half-baked effort to post something pleasant, positive, fun or at least inconsequential at least 1x for eveyr 3-5 doomposts (eg #housegawp & #NoodleTuesday) but I'm pretty sure I'm adding to the net whinging rather than the net positive which I don't like. Which is, of course, a whinge.
A white packet of instant noodles, A-one. brand satay flavour
Two bowls of noodles on light stock with globules of orange oil
#NoodleTuesday - no crispy veg today as B had another dentist trip poor baby. Very filling noodles but mostly just savoury heat without the promised satay flavour really present. 2.5/5
Red packet of instant noodles, A-one brand “beef flavour”
Two large ramen bowls containing noodles in a dark broth, topped with a very large soft boiled half egg
#NoodleTuesday - soft duck egg rather than crunchy veg today due to someone else having a dentist appointment this morning…fairly generic (artificial beef!) savoury spice flavour, bumping it up a point for great textured noodles and some tiny textured soy balls which were fun 3/5
A red-orange packet of instant noodles, thai writing on the packet. (It’s mama brand tom yum flavour)
Two steaming bowls of noodle soup- wide pale ribbon noodles in pale broth, topped with stirfried vegetables
#NoodleTuesday a banger! I was suspicious of how tiny the noodle nests were but they really expanded and this was super filling, identifiable soup “bits” and a really crisp mouth tingly pepper heat. 4.5/5
A beige packet of instant noodles,shin ramyun brand, toomba spicy & creamy flavour
Two bowls of instant noodles, with peas and sweetcorn
#NoodleTuesday - a late m, fast post-workshop dinner & I was worried about this as “creamy/cheesy” noodles often let me down & i’ll be honest, the cheese powder smelt rancid 😂 But they were sinus clearingly spicy, and very filling with great noodle texture. I almost didn’t miss the broth 3/5
Packet of instant noodles, unif 100 brand, artificial roasted beef flavour
Two bowls of noodles in a dark brown-red soup
#NoodleTuesday - it’s been a long time since I’ve had noodles plain (eg without my own veg toppings etc) bit these were a good shout- decent spice that didn’t linger, chewy veg bits and very filling. 3.5/5
A metallic brown packet of instant noodles, mama brand.
Two large ramen bowls containing boodles in a dark red-brown stock, topped with fried vegetables and half a boiled egg
#NoodleTuesday last packet of the old season and it’s a solid basic one. This has such a strong roast duck scent it’s always going to be slightly disappointing to taste. Much improved with veg and egg, but filling despite size & some decent heat too 3/5
Packet of instant noodles - samyang “tangle” - bulgogi alfredo flavour
Two large ramen bowls containing thick ribbon noodles in a creamy brown sauce topped with stir fried green veg
#NoodleTuesday I was super suspicious of these as my experience of anything “creamy/cheesy” in the instant noodle range hasn’t been great but these were a a surprise. Slightly sweet & creamy, but a tiny bit of heat, great soy textures and veg bits. 3/5
Dark red packet of instant noodles, branding obscured by stick in labels, maybe Vifon Pho Bo
Two large ramen bowls filled with white rice noodles topped with mixed fried veg.
#NoodleTuesday very belatedly due to some eejit trespassing on the railway. I thought quite a plain savoury soup, which needed my sweet ginger veg, but B enjoyed it -maybe just b/c of hunger relief after awful commute. 3/5 had some fun textures.
Mostly yellow packet of instant noodles, hao hao brand, chicken flavour
Two bowls of noodles in a light broth, topped with green beans, onions & battered cubes
#NoodleTuesday a very boring plain chicken one for tonight, which I saved by topping with new fried veg and left over deep fried s&p tofu leftover from a takeaway. Pure class. #Ultraprocessed4Lyfe 2/5 for noodles 5/5 for dish
My silly pooches. Happy #NoodleTuesday

Orange packet of instant noodles: text reads samyang ramen spicy
Two ramen bowls of noodle soup, deep orange-brown stock, topped with fried tofu and green beans
#NoodleTuesday - it’s been a whole month! Holidays, family emergencies and office working have got in the way, so this was a welcome return. Perfect spice levels, very filling. High score at least partly just b/c I’ve missed noodle Tuesday so. Topped with ginger-garlic soy tofu & beans 4/5
Bright metallic pink packet of instant noodles, no English language text visible. Google translate says the are chaoli chewy rice noodles
Two bowls of white thin noodkes in pakd stick topped with boiled egg halves
#NoodleTuesday I’m just never going to prefer these thin rice noodles over the regular kind. Super umami but rather dull stock 2/5
