Discovered an Asian supermarket in town. Will attempt to retrieve exotic Ramen flavors.

Do not buy these. It looks nothing like the picture, I think mine had a total of 3 pieces of chicken and no vegetables. The flavor packet is this black ooze which seems to be some sort of soy sauce. It honestly tasted like ration food MRE crap.

Luckily I found a lime chili chicken flavor cup noodle in the cabinet

Guess what I bought. I did this before seeing your post, actually.


Chow Mein Teriyaki Beef Flavor:


I found these in the back of the pantry, old and uneaten. Stirring them up, I was hopeful. The other Teriyaki bowls were good, but the beef flavors were awful, so I was careful. The first thing I noticed was that it smelled bad, and was much darker than in the picture. The first bite wasn't very flavorful, and in fact, left a nasty flavor in the back of my throat. Every bite afterwards was a little bit worse than the last, and was deeply unpleasant. I almost gagged trying to drink the water at the end, and didn't go through with it. Maybe I got a bad copy.  Maybe I got a bad flavor.

Flavor: 2.8/10 (Nasty)
Spice: 1/10 (No Seasoning)

It's awful

Top Ramen Chicken Cup:


I bought a 24 pack of these and I've been eating them over the last few months. You'd think I'd develop a distaste for them after all this time, but if anything they might have grown on me. I don't usually get Chicken Flavor, but I've honestly never found a bad type of cup Ramen. I leave it to sit and pour in boiling water. Within moments it's finished, perhaps the fastest Ramen of them all. The flavor is much stronger than packet Ramen, but sometimes seasoning is stuck to the top of the lid (You want to brush it off). The noodles taste exactly how you'd expect them to, and the vegetables add a nice touch. My personal favorite thing about them however, is once the noodles are gone. The water is DELICIOUS. Especially when it's still hot, the extremely seasoned chicken near-boiling chicken water is really delicious to sip almost like a coffe. Don't just chug it, because a lot of seasoning will be left at the bottom of the cup.

Flavor: 7.5/10 (Very Good)
Spice: 4.2/10 (Very Strongly Seasoned)

No question. Maruchan Cup Lime Chili Shrimp.

Maruchan Lime Chili Shrimp Flavor:

Spotted this flavor at the store and immediately recongnized it as one of the more rare flavors. From what I've heard it seems as though the rarer flavors tend to taste better. I prepared these, noting that they had literal shrimp inside. I carefully picked them out (vegetarian) and prepared the food. I took the first bite. WOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAH. It burst into a hot spicy chili flavor mixed with a strong (much stronger than Top Ramen Shrimp Flavor) flavor of shrimp. The whole thing felt tinted a little by some extra spices and juice, most likely from the lime. It was extremely strong, and almost overwhelming. The spice was warm and aided to the flavor, without making it too hot. This definetely the strongest flavor I've ever had, and honestly, the best. I don't think I will eat these regularly, but it was a great experience.

Flavor: 9/10 (Exquisite)
Spice: 6/10 (A Little Spicy)

I've had it a few times since the first and it was just as good ever since. Unfortunately it's a bit high-effort having to sort through and pick out the meat each time, and they aren't very common, so I don't get it often.

Hey, could I suggest trying the Maruchan Sriracha Chicken flavor? Last time I had it, I the broth was much more viscous than other kinds of ramen I've had. I'm curious if it was my poor cooking ability or something intrinsic to the flavor.

No question. Maruchan Cup Lime Chili Shrimp.

I can confirm that the dry pack of this is also fantastic.

EDIT: I just made some ramen, and it's almost certainly my cooking technique. I'm probably overcooking the noodles.

I just made some. Will review:

Top Ramen Chicken Cup with Sriracha Sauce:


I made a Top Ramen Chicken Cup with a little more than half the recommended water. Then I did 3 decent-sized squirts of Sriracha into the cup and mixed it in. It turned dark red and smelled spicy, making me wonder if I had put in too much. I let it sit for a bit so that the noodles would soak in the sauce rather than just sit it in, but I don't think it really worked. I think if I make these again (and I will soon!) I'm gonna squirt in the sauce before I add water, and let the noodles soak in the sriracha before they even touch the water. I took a bite of it, and was a little underwhelmed. It tastes good, but it was almost like the Sriracha canceled out the strong seasoning that goes on the chicken. It still tasted like chicken though, even without the spice. The water was really spicy, but not too much, as I originally worried. I'd recommend people stick to standard Chicken flavor, it's a bit more flavorful than this.

Flavor: 7/10 (Very Good)
Spice: 8/10 (Very Spicy)n
