KoKoMyeon (꼬꼬면)
KoKoMyeon is one of the most beloved 라면(Ramyeon) of all times.
It was created by 이경규, a famous Korean tv-show host, who searched for the best
aspects of the current ramyeons.
He also researched the taste-favorites of the Koreans, and took it into consideration.
Enough of the explanation, more review. Right?
The first impression- I got came from the look of the KoKoMyeon. That is, the soup was shockingly blend. The conventional idea of ramyeon is that it has red-soup and noodle. KoKoMyeon was different. I didn't like this aspect, as it is a common sense that the color red makes the people hungry, whereas white doesn't have that aspect.
The second impression that I got from the KoKomyeon was from the smell. Despite the blend color, it had a rather spicy and deep smell to it. It felt as if my nose was made for that very smell. It was like another famous Korean soup, "삼계탕".
The third impression was from the noodle. I couldn't believe how chewy it was, considering the fact that the noodle had been in the water for too long. I mean, I over-boiled it, but it still had the chewy aspect. The noodle was perfect in sliding through my lips, with enough soup on it to pass on the taste but just not enough to splash the soup over my face.
The last impression was from the soup. I drank the rest of the soup, and it was amazing. It was a masterpiece of ramyeon.
Short but sweet. I enjoyed this review, and encourage you to check out Rhee Jiyoon's blog. She wrote a ramyon review as well.
답글삭제Personally, I like Black Shin the best.
Creative noodles? I've never thought of that. Interesting analysis.
