Perfect time to tuck into some nongshim black over smoko. At this price good way to suss out if it’s for you without committing to a 4 pack.
Remember don’t add too much water.
(Set store to your preferred store to check stock - it’s all in stock in my 4 closest Woolies)
You don't need 8GB of RAM for Shin Black, phone is fine.
8 mega bites will do.
severely underrated comment
No but at this rate it might as well be the next platform they somehow port Skyrim onto.
Nah, $1.80 X 5 = $9 !!
please post a deal
Didn’t neg you
But this is the black we talking about. Not the red.
AFAIK there is no cheaper price atm - short of maybe going to Inala or Sunnybank and physically checking pricing at the asian shops.
Yeah I see, just don't know who would not buy a 5 pack, isn't the normal price $10.50 anyway? Hanaro and them have them.
Like you say it would be nice if the 5pk goes on sale again, will have to check Wednesday!
normal price
Black rrp is now $12, and it comes in a 4 pack.
It was $11.50
Been prob 4 years since I stepped into a hanaro mart, maybe they do some special 5 pack black I don’t know about since then.
Black is more mild spice and richer broth (idk maybe it’s all an elaborate psy-op)
@Jimothy Wongingtons: Price gouging, bastards.
Not saying it's not a deal, just that buying singular packets is a false economy. Just have to wait till the normal ones are close to $5 again (and stock up, all similar enough).
Worth checking Korean supermarkets if anyone near one anyway.
Good noodles. Bought few boxes of 20 packs @ $13.99 each from Costco last year. Regular red not the black ones. Waiting for same deal to return to stock up.
Are these much better than Aldi 2 minute noodles?
if you like aldi, stick to aldi
I ditch the sachet of chemicals & add my own Asian sauces. Tastes very good to me.
what kind of sauces
May as well just buy your own fresh or instant noodles at that point.
@WatchNerd: you dont buy it from wollies/coles/aldi. get it from your asian minimart e.g tong li etc
@zombrex: Absolutely. These instant noodle pack noodles are some of the worst quality dried noodles you can get. They are really only worth buying for the convenience/lazy.
Why not just buy these then

or even better

My wife makes her own sauces like you, and buys the fantastic ones.
Should just ditch the noodles and all the packaging too, can get dry noodles cheap as (I get rice noodles fairly often but plenty of types). Udon noodles from frozen section are a bit pricey now too, used to be under $7.
Ps People should search the previous deals for all the same commentary, although I guess some folk have never heard of em.
Funnily enough I just saw this comment:
Does aldi also do nongshim ? Or they do their own spicy instant? I feel nongshim noodles definitely got a better mouth feel than normal cheapy instant noodle, up there with the prima la mian laksa.
Either way maybe I will suss it next time I do my once a quarter aldi shop. I usually just beeline for the chicken chipotle bowls, the lamb gozemele, the Aldi dark ground coffee beans, the red bull large can zero sugar rip offs and the red rock deli rip offs
Aldi sells 4 packs of the regular red nongshim
Very different products, Shin is definitely multiple levels above the average 2 minute noodles in every single way possible.
Thanks Jimothy,
How do these compare to the red in terms of spiciness? I used to love the red but as I get older I cannot handle the aftermath of spicy food.
Less spicey but still hot
thanks!
Just get a packet and see for yourself, no risk.
Don't need to use the whole sachet (and better not to with the crazy amount of sodium. Still good with half, then can make your own with other noodles with the rest).
I cannot handle the aftermath of spicy food
yeah no risk
Not sure why you're even considering these then, just get maggi or something. You are allowed to use less flavouring, or try veg (green) ones, pretty good.
Me neither.
As per @CrispyChrispy Black is definitely more mild. I felt there was more levels of flavour… as opposed to just .. spice.
thank you!
First time seeing 1/2 price on black
Quite rare, last time was end of May for the 4 pack as per this mega popular deal by @RichardL which is actually where I tried it first time. Unfortunately only got 3 packs last time.
That 4 pack for $5.75 was amazing, unfortunately I couldn't find it at a few woolies I went to.
$1.8 x 4 = $7.20 for a 4 pack :(
true, rrp now 12 too so next 50% off will be $6 ..not that much diff especially if you're like me and got a hankering for some nong shim black
One for 1.8$, isnt it expensive?
stick to red if you're on a budget i guess
The Shin Ramen big bowls are also half price - $1.85.
i might give them a go too, maybe streamline my winter smoko procedure even more
Just don't skimp on your milk crate throne.
I just sit in the Ute, Greg’s kitchen style
Personally I prefer the red variety, but each to their own.
Exactly, and when they are $5. No point paying more for premium junk food. Also vegetarian.
Well that's part of it for me too, don't want pork bones or whatever it is they put in it.
Even still I think red actually tastes better or at least as good, and it's cheaper, normally.
Yeah no brainer. Not paying more than $5 and shouldn't be eating it at all haha. Hopefully and the veg I throw in improves the nutritional content.
Red is spicier but I find the black has a richer and more satisfying flavour
Does this Pro model have more than 8GB RAM ,
