  • black is the one with beef stock . nothin to do with spicy level right

    • +3

      I find it less spicy actually

      More "actual" flavour and less spice

      These are probably the most flavourful noodles you can get short of making your own broth

  • +2

    Still burns my mouth, i'm a baby :(

  • Is it the noodel? or the packet of spices that makes it 1.80 per pack?

    • Neither. It's the brand name

        Premium is the new Black, it's also black. At least they didn't pick Purple.

    It’s the same noodle they just make it black and put premium label on it

    i prefer the red personally but each to their own

  • +1

    Did not justify the extra cost above normal red. But have to try to know.

      I prefer the regular red shin ramyun and adding a slice of cheese and mixing it into the broth, makes the broth thick and creamy, much better than shin black imo

      • +1

        Mixing a raw egg through the broth after cooking also a good option to make it creamy.

    What is with the awful Woolworths thumbnails lately?

    Just remember to not put in too much water. It dilutes the broth, and ends up tasting like sh it.

    • There are instructions on the packet which do clearly state how much water to use

      • +1

        Yes I know, but most people seem to ignore it… e.g. I've seen people put in way too much water, and then drain it before eating, and then wondering why it tastes like sh it.

  • I tried the black for the first time today they are good but I prefer the red. I don't think it's worth the premium price over the red in my opinion.

    • After reading these comments I'm going to buy a black pack tommow and try. I've always just bought the red packets because I thought the premium black label pack would be hotter. We'll see if I agree with you after I try it.

    For my store the best before date was 14 September 2023

    • Thanks for this info. Price marked down probably due to short date.

  • With this price, I'd recommend buying from Asian supermarket, heaps of options for cheaper

  • At half price thought it was worth a try of the black. It's kind of meh to me compared to the red. And twice the price of the red ($18 regular for 20 at Costco).

    I do make some changes/adds when I make the red which makes it better:

    • Only add 350ml water - enough to cover the noodles but not dilute the flavour
    • Add an egg with a minute or so to go so part cooked and makes the broth creamier
    • Frozen cooked chicken thigh on the bowl to cool the temperature and add some protein
    • Fried shallots on top- well just because

    Excellent and good spicy kick.
