top ramen? definitely the top ramen in my "won't ever buy" list
It's cheap noodles! And 5mg of chicken bouillon. Mix it with a splash of soy, fish sauce, 5ml sambal olek, and 30mg of peanut butter for a simple peanut noodle that feeds one in 5 minutes quite cheap. Use take out soy sauce packets (one packet) and a fast food hot sauce sachet instead of sambal for an even cheaper meal option.
If ever you need a fast and cheap option to start a meal idea, Top Ramen should be at the top of the list.
For me that meal was one can of tuna, one can of baked beans and one spoon chilli paste. Everything in one casserole and boil. Add pasta, noodles or bread for more carbs
but all of that is literally amazing.... with maruchan.
I can't usually taste differences in brand like that anyway, so whatever is cheaper.

Maruchan. Top Ramen noodles have an inferior consistency.
Maruchan Beef with powdered garlic and onion added.
Pork for me.
When my girlfriend and I were living together in college. We had discussed this at some length, and eventually decided we weren't poor enough to consider eating Nissin instead of Maruchan. That was, without a doubt, the poorest I have ever been and hopefully ever will be. I'm honestly not sure who the target market for Nissin is.
I'm honestly not sure who the target market for Nissin is.
Me, apparently! I really like the black garlic one, but also tonkatsu, seafood, chicken. I heap the bowl with sugar snap peas, raw mushrooms, spring onions etc, and top with a dollop of oyster sauce. Yummo.
Maruchan for sure
MARUCHAN 4 LIFE
Maruchan chili flavor or get the fuck out.
Nissin is the real OG.
Honestly I prefer Nissin it has more of a proper roasted chicken flavor.
I truly don’t care, give me either one
Nissin, but if you get the version with a little oil packet. And better yet, beef flavor. With Sriracha
Grew up with Maruchan but I'll get whichever one is cheaper if it's just for me. Family members prefer Maruchan though.
so that's what nissin packaging looks like in english
here's what it looks like in Brazil
i think it tastes pretty good
Maruchan hands down. Nissin tastes like they skimp on seasonings.
Definitely Indomie. Indomie Ayam Spesial (Chicken Special) can be eaten like what the instructions said, or, you can add almost any ingredients to make it better.
My favorite is Indomie Ayam Special with choy sum /cai xin and a beaten egg mixed with canned sardines.
🤮
i live in asia and i think this is disgusting and i think you should be ashamed of yourself
