Week Five: Second Opinion

Come along and follow me to the bottom of the sea. We'll join in the jamboree at the...Seafood Party!


As you can tell, Daniel and I are extremely amused by the name of this week's featured ramen... and we are milking it for all it's got! For those of you who also grew up with Disney Sing-A-Long videos, I couldn't resist and provided a video clip containing the song I was referring to: "At the Codfish Ball". But back to the ramen...

Samyang continues to deliver when it comes to their ramen noodles. One of the first things I noticed was how tender and full the Seafood Party noodles were. The broth carries a mellow seafood aroma that is matched by the delicious and delicate seafood flavor.

As you can imagine, Daniel and I were drawn to this particular ramen because of its colorful name. However, other less-amused patrons might be easily discouraged such a lively title since it connotes a sort of bold, fishy affair. On the contrary, while this ramen does indeed contain a party of seafood items (lobster, crab, squid, oyster, shrimp, anchovy, and cuttlefish!) the flavor is surprisingly appealing and not excessively "fishy".

I thoroughly enjoyed Samyang's Seafood Party ramen. mmm...DELICIOSO!

Ramen Experience: Week Five

All the shrimps are boogying.  The lobster, crab, and squid are swinging.  The oyster and anchovy are grooving.  Why?  Because Delicioso's Ramen for Week Five is Samyang's Seafood Party!

Admittedly, I doubt all of those poor sea creatures are partying along this week.  Far too many of them are being enjoyed in this delicioso (hey, that's the name of the blog!) ramen!  This is easily my favorite ramen so far.  Samyang has a yummy track record of quality ramens, and Seafood Party continues this trend.  Why?  Well, I'll tell you why.

Seafood Party has a great taste.  It isn't spicy, but it isn't bland either.  Somehow it strikes a delicate balance between all the flavors ramen might take on.  This is especially evident in the broth.  I don't know if I would necessarily call it a seafood flavor, but I would certainly hope for an invitation to the party.

Samyang also maintains the sumptuous noodles in every package.  They soak up a ton of broth, have a smooth texture, and come in large quantities.  Hungry?  Try a Samyang ramen.

Somehow, Seafood Party has been labeled awkwardly, but don't judge a ramen by its wrapper.  Seafood Party is delicious, nutritious, and an all around great Ramen.  I don't know why you wouldn't give it a shot, should you happen down your own Ranch 99 ramen aisle.
