    I grew up in India and we're borderline obsessed with Maggi there. It's something every kid eats growing up and every college student has fond memories of. We all know they are extremely mediocre but there's just so much nostalgia associated with them that they are hard to let go. Every single Indian has at least one significant life memory associated with Maggi noodles. And over time, street food vendors have taken the Plain-Jane pack of Maggi noodles and really made some extremely creative noodle dishes out of them. Agree with your assessment of them being "just-okay" though. After a decade of living outside India and trying dozens of Asian instant noodles, I definitely get it.

    Maggi noodles are like every Indian kid’s childhood. The taste is more like a nostalgic comfort thing rather than actual flavour. It’s still my go to noodles for when I’m sick and can’t eat anything else. Sometimes my mom adds a spoon of ghee and that changes everything ❤️

    • @Goldenkitten1
      @Goldenkitten1 2 года назад +14

      The American Maruchan yakisoba boxes don't have a little spout for draining the water and don't even mention it in the instructions, I only knew to do so from having the "real" thing. But I guarantee the vast majority of people who are buying this in America when you're on the ramen diet have no clue it's not supposed to be soupy. As for why Mikey didn't do it despite knowing yakisoba is dry it seems like he's following the instructions to the letter in this video and since like I said the instructions don't tell you to drain the water over here I presume he thought it was either supposed to steam off or just be like that.

    That self heating noodle actually seems potentially pretty dangerous. Those heating packs are used in many MRE's around the world, but food being heated is always in sealed packs so chemical residue from reaction doesn't get into the food. In this case it seemed like food was totally exposed.
    PS. When I heard about chemical taste, I was pretty sure nobody should eat that, taste is totally from the heating pack.

    When I saw you got a Prima Taste noodle I knew you were in for a good time! you HAVE to try their 'Prima Taste Singapore Laksa La Mian' this guy called The ramen rater has tried almost 4000 instant noodles and it CONSISTANTLY rates in his top 10 of all time (often number 1, he posts a list every year) It is absolutely delicious for an instant noodle.

      I have had these and rate them, but they are quite expensive here in Australia (about $5/ pack). My local supermarket has Mamee Chef Curry Laksa cup noodles which are 75% as good (the soup is fantastic, noodles OK) and they often go on special for $1.15

Love Mi Goreng, LOVE shin (gourmet) and obvs samyang bc their noodles are so perfect. Shin will always be my go to, hands down. I wish I could buy the spice seperately and just drink it like a broth.

    Hah, I'm catching up on videos, and I happen to be eating a Nissin Japanese Original cup noodle. I don't eat these things too often for obvious reasons, but sometimes I crave one. I also like the Korean Paldo Kokomen Spicy Chicken (which is what they call a "clean spicy"). I like to make them just a touch healthier by adding little pieces of chopped up carrot (only about a spoonful, though), or thawed peas. But, yeah, definitely guilty pleasures. I eat these maybe once a month, if even that.
    Those boba brown sugar popsicles...I had one a couple of months ago, and it was awesome. They keep running out, but that's probably for the best. I have to watch my salt and sugar, which is why I can't eat these things very often.

No Indian or Asian or anything. Well these are now my new favorite food. I love them. So I tried the cup of sweet chili Nissan noodles... love those too!

    Samyang is always a pleasure to eat, if you're a chili head. Yes, the jjajang version is the good shit, but I like to put sliced ribbons of omelette on it instead of a fried egg. But I noticed that when I ate it regularly, like twice a week, I get the sniffles less each time until I got so used to the heat that I can eat it with toast for breakfast. And then I remember, I stopped cold turkey for a month due to out-of-town work, and boy the moment I ate a Samyang noodle after that I just got massive sniffles and tears again.
