Review of Samyang Hot Chicken Ramen

When one thinks of ramen, a relatively plain, innocuous soup comes to mind. Korean company Samyang would have to disagree as they have changed the game with their increasingly popular 'Hot Chicken Ramen,' better known as 'Korean Fire Noodles.'

With one squirt of the pre-packaged chilli sauce on to the noodles, an explosion of flavour enters your mouth. Sweat may pour from your temples but it is well worth it for the delicious taste you experience. Although, I will give a fair warning to anyone who isn't good with hot food. It will be painful to some but also delicious to others.

One negative, I might add is that the sauce can be very slurpy and messy to eat. It can stain clothes very badly too, so do not wear white while eating them!

For anyone who struggles with spice, I would recommend the milder Carbonara or Blackbean flavours. I feel like the cheese in the Carbonara flavour dilutes the heavy flavor slightly and makes for a slightly milder experience, without sacrificing the dangerous thrill of the chilli sauce. 

In conclusion, the fire noodles are a delicious snack for anyone who's interested in spicy food with a bit of a kick and also enjoys noodles but unfortunately it can also be a bit of a hassle to eat them.
