Some time ago, some Asian friends of mine pointed out where to buy a box of Thai “ramen” noodles. Stuff was fantastic–came with three different flavor packets. If you used all the flavoring, it was burn-your-face-off hot, but in a very flavorful way. No idea how to spell it as none of the packaging was in English. It was pronounced “mee tom”, as I recall. If I could buy more without excessive embarassing experimentation, I would in a heartbeat. Crack-like addictive qualities.

Well, [hot damn.](http://noodleson.com/review/2005/12/04/tom-yum-mi-tom/) Evidently just…looking…for it is the key to finding it. 🙂

I agree with **BigBadVoodoo Lou** and **TheBonyKingofNowhere** the Creamy Chiken is not so bad.

Top Ramen, baby! Oriental or pork flavor.

(does “oriental” flavor taste like chicken?) 😉
