It’s safe to say that if you’re like most Malaysian, you’ll have some instant noodle kept in the pantry. Be it for “emergency” quick fix, or to satisfy cravings of certain flavour, their role is not to be denied.
When it comes to instant noodle though, you don’t always have to compromise between convenience and taste/quality, there are products out there that can certainly satisfy all areas. Case in point – the recently launched Shin Stir Fry Ramyun.
I was invited to Nongshim’s Shin Stir Fry Ramyun launch event at Sunway Pyramid this week to take a look at what it is all about, and of course, to get a taste of what this noodle has got to offer.
The quick and easy highlight of this product:
- made in Korea
- halal
- first soupless product of Shin Ramyun range
- takes only 2 minutes to cook!
flash mob dance to kick start the energy-filled event
The launch event itself was quite a fun-packed program, starting out with a bunch of dancers taking over the center stage at Pyramid’s blue atrium doing their things and giving the crowd an atmosphere and energy that we have been lacking this past couple of years.
claw machine, immersive tunnel, interactive game
There were also “wake up your spicy instinct” video game and a claw machines for attendees to try their luck in winning Nongshim merchandise, including the new kid on the block – Shin Ramyun Stir Fry. An walk-in immersive tunnel was also part of the set up, show casing this very product.
pack of fives Shin Ramyun for sale on location
Of course, you can also purchase Shin Stir Fry Ramyun on location during this time. Two packs (5 in 1 KR 120g) Nong Shim Shin Ramyun is priced at RM 34.49 instead of the usual RM 41.80 during this launch event from August 17th to 21st, 2022 at Sunway Pyramid.
cooking and tasting demonstration
The most important thing though, is how the noodle tastes like, right?
For that we were also treated perhaps the simplest cooking demo that took all of 2 minutes’ boiling followed by mixing of seasoning.
I had my sample sized noodle right on the spot and really enjoyed the chewy yet smooth and firm texture, and of course, that spicy kick that I’ve mentally prepared, in a good way.
Shin Stir Fry Ramyun in 2 minutes
Once I got home, well, I had to make myself a full pack of Shin Ramyun Stir Fry to properly satisfy myself after that appetizer. There’s also some fish cake stamped with “辛†and shiitake mushroom in the pack as well, making the dish quite a “complete meal” if you will.
One pack down, four more to go, I suspect this will have a permanent spot in my pantry.
They call it stir-fry…..we call it kon lo….haha! ;P I’d like to give it a try but am afraid it might be too spicy for me.
eatwhateatwhere: haha, can put less cili seasoning if too spicy. boleh adjust.
I dunno if the ladies in the house have this – they have all kinds of Korean noodles in the house. They seem to enjoy them a lot. None for me though, thank you very much.
suituapui: haha, you should give it a try, i like their noodle texture more than our local version to be honest.
There are 3 different brands of instant noodle that I always buy and keep in the pantry. Maggie (curry and chicken), Indomie and Nongshim. I choose Nongshim because of the texture.
Teck: those are some great choices!
I always likr Korean instant noodles for its noodle size (bigger) & the chewy and springy texture that local brands can’t compare.
Choi Yen: yaa, the chewiness definitely is my favorite part.
I can eat a little spice, but not too much. How is the level for my delicate taste buds, do you think?
Monica: This would be a bit hot but you can always put less of those spicy seasoning.
Dear GOD/GODS and/or anyone else who can HELP ME (e.g. TIME TRAVELERS or MEMBERS OF SUPER-INTELLIGENT ALIEN CIVILIZATIONS):
The next time I wake up, please change my physical form to that of FINN MCMILLAN formerly of SOUTH NEW BRIGHTON at 8 YEARS OLD and keep it that way FOREVER.
I am so sick of this chubby Asian man body!
Thank you!
