    The Ippudo instant noodles are supposed to taste pretty close to what they serve in the restaurant because that was the selling point when the Seven-Eleven convenience store developed the product in joint with the ramen restaurant. They wanted to create instant ramen products that taste like the real thing in the restaurants.

    “If you can’t open it that’s probably your fault..”. So true! But opening the ippei-chan karashi-mayo to make good stripes is an art.

    Made my day. Love how you rewarded the yaki soba with some roast pork. Although, the Ippudo noodle bowl didn’t get a piece. Lol. I’m currently obsessed with dan dan noodle bowls.

    I'm glad I'm not crazy, lol. I bought one of those Ocean's Halo ramen kits, and I was really excited about it, but it was just. Inedible. I really tried to get through it, but it tasted like damp cardboard. I don't know if it's the bowl it cooks in or what. I rarely throw food away, but it had to go. :(

    Hi Mikey! The Curry Cup Noodles I actually recommend microwaving it, it’s also recommended by the directions on the side
    The curry is more thick if you microwave it, versus the thin curry from just pouring hot water
