Damn, I realized I recognize the layout. Used to be a great Bun Bo Hue joint. Guess they didn't make it.

Never was a fan of BBH and I'm Nammer. Pho all the way!

I dunno, having tried all the ramen instant noodles under the sun, tough to go wrong with Ichiban all things considered.

But none of these are anything like a proper bowl of ramen. Or pho. Haven't been for pho in a long time.

Anyone done the chapagetti dish from the Parasite movie?

I doubt you have tried more than 100, let alone the thousands and thousands out there.

But I will admit, ramen you typically go back to isn't about the taste, but about the nostalgia more than anything.

Every time I see a thumbnail on YouTube for "StrictlyDumpling" doing some sort of "best instant noodles" video I'm reminded of how poor our selection of unhealthy cup noodles is in Alberta.

If you guys like spicy, buy the Samyang 2x Spicy Chicken Ramen and add a spoonful of peanut butter. Adds a layer of depth that is amazingly good.

I can eat spicy but that shits not even enjoyable, i did it once and only poured about 2/3 of the tar in the noodles and after the first bite it was an inferno in my mouth,

Yeah, it's too bad we don't get instant noodles with actual meat in the flavor package. Would be dope.

But that's not how you cook it...
You cook the noodles, save some water, and pour in the sauce and cook it a little bit more. If you put more water, it will make the noodles more plump and less spicy. Plus adding in some fresh ingredients (and peanut butter) dilutes the taste so something more manageable. But agreed, the 2x is very hot on their own, so the original is best if you are eating it without adding anything else.

True, only whatever is readily available in Alberta and at places like T&T.

I've done all those Nissin flavours, but after a while, keep going back to beef. Nothing goes better with leftover tenderloin steak.

Do you find that the noodles have changed in texture lately? They seem to get bloaty way quicker than before.

If anyone can tell me where I can get this locally I'll buy you beer. I remember having this long time ago back home.

Whats weird is they won't let you bring in Instant Noodles with meat in it but TNT has the Self Heating Hot Pot Bowls with "mystery meat" in it which I've tried the Tomato broth flavor and surpringly its quite tasty. Vegetables are crispy. And soup broth is good.

Any suggestions for Wheat/Gluten free? I'm allergic, but would tough out certain foods including ramen, but instant (wheat) noodles are the worst for me.

Nope. I’m picky, only like the noodle hard in my mouth.

They must be a way to import it. Anyways, how about this stinky lousifen that's gaining popularity? I think I saw a variant at A-mart.

You need to go to Lucky Super Market.

There was a few Japanese Ramen I want to try but can't while in Japan and Lucky surprisingly stocks them. Not cheap tho.

MAMA noodles are good, but I don’t like a lot of their flavour packs. (I am roundeye, but love Asian cuisine.)

Sapporo Ichiban is best bang for the buck for me, as far as feeling full after. But I do like the thin MAMA noodles.

Ideal combo would be Sapporo packets with MAMA noodles. I love the green laver you get in Sapporo YAKI SOBA

Not instant but fairly close. I like the ajinomoto yakisoba at Costco
