Maybe, that actually would be pretty good.

What's up guys, I'm Inga.
-
I grew up in Hong Kong and I love instant ramen.
-
I know most people think instant ramen's more like a broke college student's breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
-
But come on guys, there are so many more amazing instant ramen brands out there that people need to try.
-
So I went to Chinatown found a couple of my favorite brands, brought them back to the office to show my coworkers a whole new world.

This looks legit, and...
-
It smells really good.

-
It's a little spicier than I was expecting.
-
Yeah. It's nice.
-
Which is a pleasant surprise.
-
Lot's of flavor...Salty...Spicy.
-
Spicy.
-
The broth really tastes like the broth you get at the restaurant when you go get fancy ramen.
-
I'm like probably gonna finish this if that's okay.
-
(laughter)
-
Now I'm excited for the next one.
-
Yeah.

Whoa!

The oil on this!
-
Yeah!
-
It looks fancier than the one that we just had.
-
It smells almost like, creamier maybe.
-
Is it Uni? Truffle?
-
Powdered milk?
-
I'm trying so hard to place it.
-
I feel like there's coconut in this.
-
Definitely something from the ocean is in here.
-
It's the perfect amount of like salty...
-
Yeah.
-
Spicy, and creamy.
-
I like milk but only in coffee or cereal.
-
Not necessarily when it's mixed in with other stuff.
-
I'm surprised this is instant.
-
This is my new favorite.
-
(upbeat jazzy music)
-
This one looks like artisanal.
-
This smells incredible.
-
It smells expensive.
-
It is so beautiful.
-
No broth.
-
Yeah no broth.
-
I've never had mayo on noodles before.
-
Oh! Yum!
-
It's good.
-
The flavors are really crazy, and they're like kind of baked into the noodles.
-
The mayo's so interesting.
-
I don't know if I would've picked it, but like now I'm eating it I'm like into it.
-
I would never have assumed it came from a dried form.
-
I'm like super into this; this tastes really good to me.
-
This is very delicious.
-
It's pretty restaurant quality.
-
This actually tastes like restaurant quality.
-
If it's like a rainy day and I'm in my P.J.'s.
-
Like, I would snack on this.
-
Yeah.
-
Clearly.
-
Yeah...Totally good.
-
Yeah. Really clean.

-
I thought I knew all kinds of instant ramen, but today my mind was blown because there were some different flavors.
-
Not only is like, the quality can be better, but also like there's so much different types and interpretations.
-
It's pretty cool.
-
They really defied my expectations in terms of what the gourmet landscape was like.
-
I've seen the other side; I cannot go back.
-
I feel like we went on a journey.
-
Yeah. We traveled.
-
You're a changed man.
-
Yeah.
-
(laughing)
-
Today changed me.
-
That flavor and the water as well.
-
I mean, the broth, as well. Sorry.
-
For calling it water.
