Doll Chicken Flavor Ramen


Country of origin: Taiwan
Bought at Super Oriental Market

Unfortunately, these pics were affected in the same batch as the ones from the last review, so more crappy pic quality, but this should be the last time. Promise! : )
I needed something good to get the sesame taste out so I figured I'd try these since the other Doll noodles I ate were pretty good. Let's check 'em out.


Regular ol' noodle block and two packs of stuff, one seasoning and one oil. The oil smells very chicken-y. Time to cook!


Here's the finished product. Looks average, right? Well it is. Very. I'd say this is basically the same thing as chicken flavored Top Ramen, so I'll give it a 5/10. Deliciously average indeed.

EDO Pack Sesame Oil Flavor Ramen


Country of origin: Singapore
Bought at Super Oriental Market

Blargh! My damn pic resizing software resized my pictures to 25% of the original size TWICE so I got some really small pics and had overwritten the originals. Sorry bout the poor pic quality.
I figured I'd stick with some more sesame flavor noodles for now. They're just so.... sesame-y. I've never heard of or seen any other noodles made by this company and there are very few words of English on the package. Well, here we go!





There's a package shaped noodle block (standard size) and a pack of stuff that is actually two packs of stuff. There's some odorless and very plain looking seasoning and a good amount of sesame oil.


So here's the done deal. These taste like sesame oil and absolutely nothing else. I mean, seriously, nothing else. At all. Just sesame oil. If you love the taste of sesame oil then you will adore these. Otherwise, stick with the Doll noodles that I previously reviewed if you want some hot sesame action. I'm giving these a 3/10. Meh.

Doll Sesame Oil Flavor Noodles


Country of origin: Taiwan
Bought at Super Oriental Market

I love it when one of the few words of English on a package is "yummy." That's how you know you're about to eat something good. This one's packaging also wins an award for most overdone bowl of ramen and most stretching of the phrase "serving suggestion." I guess if you add shrimp, onions and other stuff to any ramen it makes it look yummy. On to the noodles!

So these are sesame oil flavored, which from my past experiences are either pretty tasty or very very overdone with the sesame oil and all you can taste is sesame flavor. Here, check it out:


Those are the cooked noodles waiting for their friends, bigass blue seasoning pack and sesame oil pack. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product... think I may have been feeling sick that day. Suffice to say that these were pretty good, the noodles were good texture and quality, and it had a good amount of sesame flavor, not too much but just enough. I would definitely recommend these if you like sesame flavor noodles. 7/10.
