1. TTL Hua Tiao Chicken Noodles
Arguably one of the most popular instant noodle in Taiwan, this chicken noodle in a cup comes with real pieces of meat. (Yes, you read it correctly!) This wine-spiked broth is robust and full of flavour, and coupled with springy noodles and chicken chunks, this is one proper meal that’s loaded with protein.

2. 满汉大餐麻辣鍋牛肉 Spicy Hot Pot Beef
With a brand name that translates to ‘Big Meal’ in English on their packaging, they sure weren’t kidding when they stuff their styrofoam bowl with maggie noodles that come slightly thicker in width and three seasoning packets, of which one of it contains real beef chucks. Spicy-lovers will enjoy this hearty bowl of noodles that come pretty close in replicating one of Taiwan’s famous street dish.

3.YDZ Braised Pork
It’s safe to establish a pattern here. By now you would have noticed that most of Taiwan instant noodles come loaded with real meat chunks, and this version is no exception. The broth is glossy and tantalising that has hints of garlic fragrance to produce a hearty and delicious bowl of noodles.

4. A-Sha Tainan Sesame Flavour Noodle
Fans of the hit movie Our Times will recall the lead actor ordering this quintessential Taiwanese dish. The noodles from this claimed to be free from MSG and preservatives, which will certainly help absolve some guilt when indulging in the bouncy thin noodles tossed in their thick and fragrant sesame sauce.
5. 维力炸酱面 WeiLin Men
Don’t just discount this cup noodle as just the usual standard packaging. This dry noodle concoction actually comes with two bowls – one for you to create the soup base and the other for you to stir and toss the noodles after you’ve drained the noodles. It’s certainly thoughtful but more than that, it’s salty and oniony and just plain delicious.

6. ZYM Beef Flavoured Instant Noodles
The packaging is strikingly nostalgic, and the flavours of the broth are intense and hearty. The packet version does not require a stove to cook. Just submerge the noodles in hot water and you’ll have a piping bowl of beef noodles in no time.

The recipe and flavours of this dry sesame noodle might be traditional and authentic, but the design of the ramen itself is anything but. With a total of five various seasoning packets to mix in, you can be sure that the final bowl of noodles is layered with complementary flavours.
