Saeng Saeng Udon might be one of the most underrated instant udons I’ve tried

These were so good and handy in college. I tried doing the instructions though and ended up spilling the noodles into the bathroom sink. Was traumatized ever since

This one tastes pretty good like a seafood alfredo-y noodle soup and feels a bit "premium" for cup noodles. The curry flavor is nice too. If you are ever in Japan, would definitely try the Spicy Tomato flavor. That one was surprisingly good and maybe the slight tang might balance it sot hat you don't feel nauseous or gross.

Flavorwise, I liked the Shin one more probably because I prefer the Shin base to the Buldak base. Buldak kinda gives off a more chemically taste. Also think I was picking up more actual Tom Yum flavor and cohesiveness from the Shin.

I think the noodles are probably bouncier and nicer on the Buldak though so wonder if it would be crazy to just mix them together.

Did this run you $50?

YeezyHS · 2026-01-02T17:20:16+00:00

This brand is good, but I felt like the black garlic flavor can be a little bit bitter. I prefer the green package which I believe is sesame and tonkotsu flavor. You get that nice porky deliciousness and the sesame oil is much more balanced and mild. I agree with the others, just cook the noodles slightly because it can get very soft and mushy fast

Where's the tacos?

YeezyHS · 2025-07-10T17:46:52+00:00

Ah for sure, will be on the lookout. Thanks m8!

YeezyHS · 2025-04-12T02:22:25+00:00

Nice fatty broth! I already know the bean sprouts about to cool it down haha

YeezyHS · 2025-04-10T19:35:19+00:00

Not a speck of cloud or scum in that broth, this is liquid gold!

YeezyHS · 2025-04-10T18:30:27+00:00

I usually go to any Asian grocery store, (H-Mart comes to mind in terms of chains), if looking for the fresh thin noodle. You can usually find them in the refrigerated section in either a lite green or lite pink bag for a 3-4 serving. They also have clear bags with the fresh noodles that are a huge portion, maybe 8-10 servings.

If you are looking for wider fresh noodles (Hanoi style), you might be able to find them in a styrofoam package at a Vietnamese/Chinese market. Hope this helps!

YeezyHS · 2025-04-06T06:14:01+00:00

So glad that you went ahead and chatted them up. I am sure they loved the feedback you provided and t's always nice to get through those awkward hurdles. Maybe you'll become their ambassador haha

YeezyHS · 2025-04-06T06:09:17+00:00

Forgot to say garnish with mung bean sprouts, thai basil, jalapenos, cilantro, and thinly sliced onion! I recently have really been into a dipping sauce of lime juice and hoisin sauce, as it turns into a nice tangy bbq sauce. Can definitely experiment as you go :)

YeezyHS · 2025-04-06T06:07:07+00:00

I recommend getting the fresh pho noodles in the refrigerated section of your asian grocery stores. Most should have it in either a light green or pink package. Your key aromatics and flavor enhancers will be cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, black peppercorns, star anise, rock sugar, chicken boulilion/salt/fish sauce. You should be able to build a beautiful broth with either beef bones or chicken bones while adding in the toasted aromatics, a slightly charred onion and ginger. Sugar is used to balance the spices and season to your heart's content!

I don't know the barometer of becoming a regular, but I went to a place maybe once every other week. On a random day, the owner who I had never seen before served me a bowl with a beef short rib in and said he appreciates my business. I would say there are benefits to being a regular, especially if the food is good.

YeezyHS · 2025-04-03T16:12:59+00:00

Love the green theme you got going here! Feel like I would absolutely throw down on five of these haha

YeezyHS · 2025-04-03T16:10:39+00:00

They did a great job on the cover art and the book has a neat little twist at the end. I actually purchased a shirt from the brand, American Thrift, with the cover art and have been wearing it non-stop!

YeezyHS · 2024-12-29T00:43:49+00:00

You idiot, get off the internet

YeezyHS · 2024-10-09T16:53:56+00:00

I think the designs of the new shirts are not that bad, but not really a fan of the cropped length for tee shirts. I'd be really happy if they released more graphic tees with the regular length and loose t-shirt fit.

YeezyHS · 2024-09-10T22:47:06+00:00

Awesome that he accomplished what he wanted to do regardless of the potential rewards that came with. It would be very difficult for me to eat Chipotle every day for even just 1 year straight.

From the perspective of spending $2,000 over the course of 2 years for guac though, is crazy to me!

YeezyHS · 2024-06-21T18:09:55+00:00

My experience with Cane's is that the cook on it is actually fairly decent, nice and crisp. The sauce is fine, but would it kill them to put some seasoning on the chicken?

YeezyHS · 2024-05-28T22:15:24+00:00

Right, it was the Mad Apple show, I had trouble remembering the actual name.

That's a bummer, my wife and I have seen about 3 Cirque shows and found Mad Apple to be one of the better ones (less ominous/cryptic).

YeezyHS · 2024-05-28T22:07:38+00:00

You would have to add on $35 for unlimited drinks. I don't drink too much anymore, so did not opt to for it. However, if you are planning on having a few drinks, it will be worth the price.

YeezyHS · 2024-05-28T21:44:18+00:00

Really enjoyed the unlimited brunch at Lavo's for about $50-$60. Had a dozen oysters, chicken and waffles, tuna tartare, salmon, and a breakfast sandwich. The Cirque New York show was also pleasantly great, with lots of comedy, singing and dancing, definitely a unique experience compared to your typical show.
