Time to take a break from Indomie, but I suppose we'll focus on another brand of noodles I really like, Samyang. Sutah comes in a neat looking package and advertises itself as being hot & spicy. Sounds good!
The noodle block is the same good quality noodle block that comes with the other Samyang ramens. You also get a pack of FLAKE and a pack of SOUP. The FLAKE contains carrots, mushrooms, cabbage, red pepper and green onions. The soup base smells spicy, it definitely contains some chili powder. The directions on this one say to cook it 4-5 minutes, so I cooked it 4 minutes. It didn't seem as done as I like so I cooked it for six minutes total and the noodles were the perfect consistency. They absorb a lot of the soup and therefore a lot of the flavor.
The soup has a pleasant dark color and smells pretty spicy. So how is it? Really good! They aren't messing around when they say this one is hot and spicy. It's not as hot as Shin Ramyun, but it's definitely up there. The noodles are great quality and as I said before they soak up a lot of the flavor of the soup while they are cooking. The vegetable pieces plump up a great deal when they are cooking as well, the mushrooms especially. You still don't get big pieces of them like on the package, but they are definitely there so it's not entirely false advertising. Since this is a Samyang pack it of course comes with a big noodle block so it's more filling than other ramens out there. If you like spicy ramen, definitely don't miss this one. 9/10.
