Wow, what a delightfully lukewarm reception to my review. Warms a girl's heart.
Anyway, special grilled chicken ramen is my current favorite flavor. To date, I've had BBQ chicken, spicy pork, tom yum (too limey), and kimchi (spicy but otherwise blah.) Both the tom yum and kimchi were no me gusta. The others were great but special grilled chicken...
Special Grilled Chicken is amazing.
Whatever chemical crack they put in all ramen is tripled in special grilled chicken. There are unique flat noodles (you know how ramen noodles are usually round?), which help elevate the flavor to something, well... truly fantastic.
It's less salty than most ramen flavors, which makes it easier to detect the smoky grilled flavor, onion, and spiciness. There's even a slight creaminess, which coupled well with the broccoli I added. The flat noodles have a different mouth feel than the round ones, and it's something that I prefer.
This will definitely be a staple ramen flavor for me. It's simple enough to take the place of plain chicken but it's got enough twists to keep my palate interested. Definitely recommended.
Also, sorry there's no picture this time. I descended on it without thinking any further than "get it in my mouth, NOW."
