Taihodien Restaurant – Taihodien Spicy Noodles

Taihodien restaurant is a Hotpot restaurant in Taipei, Taiwan. It’s nice and clean a little on the pricier side but the meat is all high quality. It’s popular with tourists, and the best part about it is the tofu and duck blood is unlimited.

The package comes with 3 Sauce packets, and a nice block of dried noodles.

The noodles have a decent texture and bite to them. The spice on this is good- more complex and not just straight heat. It builds up to a slow burn. However there is a slight unpleasant bitterness

Pulmuone – Non-fried Ramyun

 

This perked my interest being a non-fried version of your normal Korean instant ramen. Makes it a little healthier and lighter. Was curious how this would compare and how the texture would be!

Inside the package is your circular block of noodles- they look very similar to the fried one albeit the noodles were thinner. There’s a packet of seasoned oil, your standard packet of soup seasoning, and a packet of dehydrated vegetables. Shitake mushroom, celery, scallions, and chilies.

The noodles did not disappoint, wonderful texture a little lighter and tastes fresher than the fried version. Springy and everything you get in a normal fried ramyun and no loss in quality in texture from not being fried.

Flavor wise- your standard spicy Korean spicys. a good kick but not too much complexity otherwise. Hoping for some more depth
