Buldak because their chicken flavor is artificial ๐ฅฐ
Maruchan, without question.
Shin, Black
Maruchan always
Indomie!
In Norway SamYang Buldak spicy seems to be all the rage. Spicy as fuck tho'
Reading this thread I went to the asian market and got the Nongahim Shin Premium Black. Will test that later
Buldak 2x spicy and the habanero lime flavours are my go to! Love them!
Also love these:
habanero lime
France is a bit too traditional regarding food, so hot foods and things like habanero lime are rarities. People here think that tabasco is extra hot. But it's not about the hotness, but there are some actually tasty sauces that aren't sold here (they can be found online after much searching) because they are hot, or mildly hot.
Ah well, there's still an immense wealth of food, and we actually know how to use it, so it's not bad, but there's bits that are seemingly like "off limits". Like, no, this is what wild people eat.

Sounds like you should start growing your own hot peppers! Thatโs what Iโve been doing the past 2 years. I love it!
I'm not in a place where it's easy to grow fruit. I don't get enough sun for that. But it's ok, I finally found some tasty sauces, off the beaten path.
The nongshim premium black is great. they have a bone broth version thatโs even better
Any leads on the green pack? Why'd they disappear? Perfect level of spice.
Thats the vegetable one? https://www.asianfood.no/nongshim-soon-veggie-ramyun-20x112g
Meant samyang. Packaging looks odd in link.
I love the fancy ones with like three or four packets inside.
I humbly offer this alternative for your consideration:
I realized I buy them interchangeably and never noticed... I thought it was all called top ramen because you cook it on a stove top
Option C! Sapporo Ichiban
I pick top ramen, but I've been trying better than bouyon with race/egg noodles

i live in asia and i think this is disgusting and i think you should be ashamed of yourself
I also live in Asia.
This isn't a question about a developed palate. It's about which one of these shit food is preferred.
Be inclusive bro, learn to eat some shit.
Why ashamed though?
Go to your local Asian market and they will have a very wide selection of instant noodles that are much better than either of these.
Also grab some LaoGanMa Spicy Chili Crisp to put in it, you can thank me later.
Indomie, MAMA are great. Any other names that come to mind?

For the actual stovetop? Maruchan.
For the "In-a-Cup" variety? Nissin.
But what I really want is Nongshim Shin Black.
Good lord, when you add the bone broth packet...

If you can find it, look for the Indonesian version of ramen from Indomie. In my opinion, so much better - it actually has other flavors than salt! ;)
Indomie comes with its own cute little oil packet suspending oil-soluble spices. =D

Ah yes, lets name the spaghetti after body parts
What, you don't like scrottini?
Only with Alfredo sauce
Everybody ought to have two boxes of spare elbows. You never know.
Also the only spaghetti here were named, you guessed it, spaghetti. So I'm'a sure you'ra keeping youra spaghetties in your panties, eh?
Yes, together with my'a two pieces of gnocci. Would you'a lika somee sauce with that?
Eat it raw, drink the boiling water. Look across the table and call your horrified friends/relatives/coworkers pussies.
