This is Maggi Noodles. It is pretty much our all time favorite wet instant noodles. And this is
Indo Mee. It is our favorite all time dry instant noodles. Recently I shared a bunch of Maggi Mee
with our friends and family to get their reaction. I'll link the video up here. But in that video,
I said that this is the best instant noodles of all time. Some people got offended. One of our
viewers even reached out to us and said 'hey, you can't say Maggi is the best instant noodles
in the entire world without trying these other noodles. So they sent us a box of noodles to try.
We don't know what kind are inside here, but they challenged us to try these noodles
and to declare what is the actual best in the world.
We have a lot of instant noodles in here. And a little note actually.
Really sweet of them. The Kumaar Family.
Dear Rachel, Logesh, and sons. We really enjoyed... cool. So basically they're telling us
they want us to try this noodles that they've sent us and for us to give our unbiased opinion of it.
In comparison with our favorites which is Maggi Mee and Indomie. So lets see whats
in the box. So we got Samyang ramen never tried that before don't know what that is.
I feel like I saw a lot of people comment on the Maggi video with that name. Okay okay. We got
Shin Ramyun noodles. Oh never heard of that. Nope never heard of that. We got
Jin Ramen. This is a lot of noodles to try. It's a lot of noodles. Neoguri spicy seafood noodles.
I love spicy so I'm excited for this one. Alright that's pretty much it. So what we're gonna do is
we're gonna make all these instant noodles right here and we're going to try our best to give
our unbiased opinion in comparison with our two favorites which is Maggi noodles and Indomie. And
at the end of it we'll decide whether is Maggi Mee still number one on our list or has another one
of this taken over. Very controversial. This is a very controversial topic guys. Because
this has been my number one for pretty much my entire life. And that's being challenged today.
I'm really excited to see how this turns out. Yeah. And I'm going to give my absolute honest
opinion because I'm a foodie. I love food. And credit where credits due. If one of these other
noodles are really good, I will genuinely and honestly say that. Lets go make these.
Wow. These all look pretty delicious. They do look pretty amazing. I haven't
been more excited to shoot a video like this in a long time. So lets dig in.
Which one should we start with? Since we have heard of Samyang before,
let's leave that for last. Okay. And let's start from the left. Okay, so this one is Jin Ramen.
It has spicy written on the front in big letters so I'm really excited about that. Spicy
Gout Epice. Means its prety epic I think. Jin Ramen, first taste test.
Look how curly these noodles are. They look really good.
I've never had to eat noodles on camera before. This is not the easiest task.
Not bad. Probably more spicier than Rachel would like it. Its good though, I like it. Yeah. Its
not bad. It is fairly spicy. This is what I would call mildly Asian spicy but drastically
American spicy. Americans would not be able to handle this one for sure. Nope.
But I'm an American and I'm handling it just fine. Because I've trained you well. Its true.
Okay, so the spiciness comes in the after taste. You taste the spice not immediately.
When you taste, you taste a lot of that umami flavor. It's very seafood heavy and at the end,
you get the little burn which is really, really nice actually. Ya,
it's very subtle. It doesn't hit you like wasabi hits you where it's fast and furious. It's very
like a wave building up. That's how I would describe it. The texture of the noodle though,
I really enjoy this. It's a thicker noodle to me but I like that its
absorbs the flavor really well because of the thickness. Yes, and I also like that the noodles
is very springy. I don't know if you can see that. That's very springy. And when you chew it too,
it doesn't mash up really well. Its like still has a springy texture so its really nice to chew
and swallow. Yeah, I'm a fan of these noodles. I like this. Jin Ramen.. Don't eat too much. We got
three more bowls. Hold on, hold on. What is the maximum amount of ramen you've had in one seating?
Like different kinds of ramen? No, just.. It could be the same. Like how many packets? Oh,
just one. I've never eaten more than one ramen packet at a time. Lightweight. Alright, alright.
So far, Jin is looking pretty good. Not bad. Okay, next one we have here is..
Neoguri. I hope I'm saying it right. If I'm saying it wrong, let me know. So this is a spicy seafood
flavor. Again, its a udon type noodle. I love udon noodles. Ah, so excited. But its made in the USA.
So a lot of question marks there. USA made food usually has very less flavor in my opinion. But,
but, I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Again this does say spicy on it so we'll see if its
spicy. I think its still like a Korean.. Korean noodle? Yeah it is a Korean noodle. Are these all
Korean type noodles? I don't know. No, I'm sorry. This might be Japanese actually. Ya, I apologize.
This is Japanese noodles but its just made in the USA. Alright, so Neoguri. Let's do this.
Okay, has a very very strong seafood taste. It's very very fishy to me. Very seafoody. And there's
big chunks of seaweed in it. You just take a bite and just feel like you're in the ocean.
Ya.. I'm not a fan of this one. It's not very spicy at all. It isn't. It's more salty to me
than spicy. Ya, it has an extremely strong seafood flavor.. Which is what its suppose to have. Which
is what its suppose to have but its too much that you can't really enjoy the noodles in itself.
But I would say though, I do like the texture of the noodles. I was about to say that. The texture
is perfect. I really like the texture of the Jin Ramen before but I think this is slightly better.
It's a little thicker. It's thicker and it still has that springyness to it.
But ya. For me, this is a no go. Just too salty. Too fishy. Not a fan. Neoguri..
Sorry. We gave you our honest try. Honest opinion. Its just not for us. Maybe for
some people but just not for us. Okay, this now is. Shin Ramyun noodle soup. This is also made
in the USA. Is it the same company? It is the same company. Nongshim. It says its a gourmet
spicy. What does that mean, gourmet spicy? The spicy is really.. Really 'atas' and flavorful.
We have been married for six and a half years and this is what he does whenever he says anything.
fancy. So I'm glad we got that on camera. Going in with the Shin Ramyun. Look at that. Look at that.
Okay, this one isn't too bad. I like it. Again, not very spicy at all. I'm going to try the broth.
Ya, not really getting a whole lot of spice. There's a little bit of spice.
Not too much. It comes a little bit after. Ya, but I definitely like this
more than the Neoguri that we had before. This is good. This is good. I would eat this frequently.
I agree with you. This is something I will definitely eat again. The biggest
thing I like about this noodle is the broth and the noodle.. Its so perfect together.
This is the kind of meal that, you know sometimes you have instant noodles,
you eat the noodles and then you drink the broth. For this one, I wanna do it together. Ya, one
flavor doesn't overpower the other. It works very nicely in harmony. It compliments each other well.
I'm getting a little bit more spice as I like let it seep in. But it's good. Is this seafood flavor?
It tastes kind of meaty flavor. Yeah it's meaty I don't think it's seafood flavor.
Maybe Shin Ramyun is a word for meat or something I don't know. Let us know in the comments below
if you know. It's good though. It's good. We love it. Or at least I love it. I enjoy it too.
To me it tastes like it might be beef flavored. But I like it though.
Yeah but I must say there are like... I'm not sure what that is. Is that bamboo?
It has little stuff like that in there. I'm not sure what it is. Is it mushroom or bamboo shoots?
It almost has like a meaty texture to it. It might be a dried meat. But I like that. Whatever that's
in there. I feel like this video is turning into a mukbang video. Which is something that we don't
do on our channel. Eating noodles on camera is probably one of the most unpleasant things
I'm so sorry. If you're taking someone out on a first date do not have noodles. Bad idea. Okay.
Next. And the last one is the Samyang noodles. Here you go. It's called Samyang noodles. I think
it has Korean characters on it so I don't know what flavor it is. It has some vegetable pictures
on the packaging. Oh it's halal. Nice. Nice. Product of Korea. Yep. Okay. Let's dig in. Mix
this nicely first. Wow. I'm impressed. That's pretty good. Oh man. This is really good.
It's really not bad at all. I think the flavors I'm getting is vegetable. Correct me if I'm wrong.
But it definitely feels like a vegetable broth. It does. There's even little pieces of carrots
in there. Green onions of course. Quite a lot of carrots actually. The little veggies in it add a
really nice texture. The broth it just tastes like something you just want to drink on a cozy day
and just... it's very comfort food to me. And the broth's umami flavor is not very thick it's more
on the lighter side, but it's a nice lighter side. You can actually taste all the flavors within it.
Like you're tasting that umami flavor, you're tasting that little tiny bit of kick to it. Like
I wouldn't even call this spicy, would you? It's a little spicy, but not as bad as the other ones.
So yeah. The umami flavor is on the lighter side but it's good though. Like traditional typical
instant noodles usually that umami flavor is strong, MSG most likely. But this one that
taste is more on like the lighter note. Which is more like comforting in a weird way. It is very
comforting. Like I would want this if I just needed to have a nice cozy meal. It's not bad.
I feel like, since it's not overpowering, I could eat a lot of this kind. And I feel like this would
be a fun one to experiment with adding different things in. We cooked everything basic just water
and the packets. But I would love to experiment with putting an egg, putting in different veggies,
putting in different meat. I feel like this one would have a nice base to do pretty much anything
with. Yeah I think at the very least if you can just throw in an egg in there I think that would
already change the.. change the game. Yeah change the dynamic of the instant noodles immediately.
What is instant noodles without the egg actually. Gotta have it.
Not bad. I usually like meaty flavor stuff. I like seafood flavor, I like meat flavor, but like this
vegetable flavor isn't too bad at all. So between the four noodles here, which is our favorites.
I think it's clear to see that her favorite is definitely the Samyang. She's still eating it.
I love it. I think it's the perfect blend of the spice, the flavor, the noodles, it's just
perfection. It is good. Yeah I think it really blends well together. The flavor,
the umami flavor that's not too overpowering it's just enough. Together with that noodles.
If you're comparing just the noodles itself I think the other ones might be a little better. But
overall this is still the best. I would agree with her. I think for number two I would
probably choose the Jin Ramen one. Yeah I agree. I feel like it's exactly the same as I would've
picked. Jin ramen is definitely number two. I like the spiciest of it, it really has a nice kick. The
seafood flavor is not overpowering it's just the perfect amount. It's good. And I like the burn
that comes afterwards, not immediately while you eat it. I like that too. It has that slow spicy
rise which is awesome. And those noodles are so nice and springy they don't get all soggy and
gross. Alright so third place would definitely be this guy right here. Shin Ramyun. It's not
too bad. It has like a beefy flavor, like what Rachel said earlier. I will still eat it, if I'm
at the the store I would buy this one. It's not bad. But still the Samyang and the Jin Ramen is
definitely on a different level compared to it. And it's really no surprise that this one made the
bottom of the list. It's just too seafoody, too salty. Year the Kumaar Family do not recommend
this noodles. But that doesn't mean it's not for everyone. Some people might enjoy it. But it's
just not for us. Okay. The biggest question of the day. Is Maggi noodles still number one for us.
Or has it been replaced by Samyang. For me, I'll be absolutely honest and this is unbiased. It
might be because of nostalgic reasons or whatever. Maggi is still number one for me. I still feel
that the flavors of Maggi is still really nice. It has a really complex curry flavor. It has just
the right amount of spiciness. The noodles are perfect. Everything about it is amazing. You can't
go wrong. The Samyang came pretty close though. Pretty close. If it had a slightly
different flavor profile it might be higher on my list. But for me, Maggi is still number one.
You guys. I'm so worried that they're not going to let me into Malaysia. Because I would definitely
pick the Samyang. It is just so comforting. And it's just the perfect blend of everything. Can
we talk about size for a second? This is a hearty portion versus this teeny bitty Maggi packet. I
mean come on now you guys, this is the perfect meal size package. And I really really enjoyed
it. A lot. Well there you have it guys. Please don't hate me Malaysia. Rachel is converted.
This used to be her favorite but now she likes Samyang. Amy and Won, that's your fault.
Anyways, Amy and Won thank you so much for sending us all these noodles. We really enjoyed it. This
is actually one of my favorite episodes to do. We love trying different foods and giving our opinion
about it. Regardless in the end of the day, all these noodles are good. We really enjoyed trying
them. Except for this guy it's not really good. But besides that everything else is good. But
I'm sure there's still plenty of instant noodles that we have never tried. If you have a favorite
instant noodle, leave it down in the comments below. And maybe one day we'll get to try it out.
Yeah guys, we love to try new foods so anything and everything is appreciated. Let us know down in
