Whenever I spot something unusual, I always end up buying it.
Kkotgerang
It was just okay..
GoldStar
It is the old-school style.. and sure enough, the noodles do go soft a little quickly.
Baehongdong
Slightly sweet with a bit of heat. I am not a fan of Paldo, but Baehongdong was not bad.
Kwasak Chip
A hard-style potato chip, though in Japan they have been selling these for ages under the name kata-age.
Toad Potato Chips
I cannot see what is supposed to be good about it.
Sesame Ramyeon Time..
Not bad if you dip it in the sauce, but not my thing..
Doenjang Ramyeon
Surprisingly, it tastes like a proper doenjang soup. It could work as a stand-in when you just want a quick bowl of doenjang soup.
Baked Jjajang
Yukgaejang
This one was a bit of a miss..
Wanmyeongak
This one did not have much character either..
Gohyang Mandu Chip
I am against this flavour.. potato and mandu do not go together well.
Bibim Chip
Not great either
Squid Peanut, soy sauce and wasabi flavour
Not great either..
Rocket Calcium Egg Snack
Not great either
Milk Ramyun
It is mild, sure, but only so-so..
Swing Chip, soy sauce chicken flavour
Just so-so..
Masinneun Ramyeon Vegan
Not great either..
Katsuo Udon
This one was clearly benchmarked on Tuigim Udon Keunsabal, the big-bowl tempura udon..
Sweet-potato-shaped snack
I had heard GS’s sweet-potato-shaped snack was good so I bought one.. it is tasty, all right, but it tastes like it will make you fat..
Teumsae Ramyeon Spicy Kimchi
It was unbelievably hot..
Jinmailang Tan Tan Men
The taste was pretty good.
Healer Meat Jjamppong
I have no idea why it is called Healer, but it was hot enough to do internal damage.
Ppasae Double X
Doubling it does not seem to make it any better..
Omori Kimchi Fried Rice Nurungji
Oddly enough, it tastes quite a lot like the fried rice you get at a barbecue place.
Miwon Ramyeon
Adding Miwon makes the ramyun flavour feel much sharper. After eating this I started putting Miwon in every ramyun I make..
McCol Barley Hardtack
It was unexpectedly good, and better than the others because it was not soggy. Every packet of hardtack I have bought lately has been too soggy to eat.
Sokcho Red Snow Crab Ramyeon
It does taste a bit of crab.
Protein bar
The taste is just so-so..
Ojingeo Tok
The squid flavour comes through really well and it was so good. Perfect with a drink.
Icheon Rice Cone
I bought it because they say it is Emart24’s bestseller, and it is definitely tasty. I am not sure it is worth going out of your way for, though.
