我的名字是 Douglas Kim，我是 Jeju 韓式麵館的老闆和廚師，我已經在餐飲業工作 19 年了。今天我很榮幸可以嚐嚐各類泡麵。
Wow. Smells very familiar, but it's not in a good way. The color looks very... I don't remember when the last time I actually had this. Very, very watery. Flavorwise, it's very, very commercial. Very "instant" flavor. To be honest with you, I don't even know if this is—tastes like a chicken or not. One star. I respect the, you know, people who created this ramen. That's why I give them one star.
哇。聞起來很熟悉，但不是好的。顏色看起來很...我已經不記得我上一次實際吃這款泡麵是什麼時候了。非常、非常水。味道方面來說，非常、非常商業。很「速食」的感覺。老實說，我甚至不知道這是－－這吃起來到底像不像雞肉。一顆星。我尊敬發明這款拉麵的人。所以我才給它一顆星。
Ah-ha. Already looks a little more complicated. I see the black garlic oil. Smells a little more refined. Not bad. Noodle is little more skinnier. Slightly softer, but in a good way. Still full of MSG flavor. Very umami. But actually, I was really surprised that it actually tastes not bad. I pretty enjoyed this one. Two point five star.
啊哈。看起來已經比較複雜一點了。我有看到黑蒜油。聞起來比較精緻一點。還不錯。麵條比較細一點。味道淡一點，但是是好的。還是充滿味精的味道。很鮮。但其實我還滿驚訝的，因為吃起來還不賴。我滿喜歡的這款的。二點五顆星。
This one is very familiar. Actually, it smells not that good, though. Damn, spicy. Oh my God. It's pretty spicy. It's too spicy that I don't taste anything else. Noodle-wise, this is the so far best. It has a more chew to it. Taste...is a little too spicy for me. I have a limit to take in a certain spice level. This one I give you 2.5, too.
這款吃起來也滿熟悉的。其實聞起來不太妙。乾，好辣。我的天哪。超辣的。辣到我吃不出其他味道了。以麵條來說是目前吃起來最棒的。比較有嚼勁。吃起來...對我來說有點太辣了。我沒辦法吃那麼辣。這款我也給你二點五顆星。
Wow. It has a more body in the broth. Noodle itself is a little—a lot thicker. Noodle is very nice. I taste little less MSG. Broth is more richer. It's sticking into the noodles. Look like a proper ramen. It's pretty good, you know, quality around it. This pretty close to, yeah, just regular ramen. If you give it to someone else, you can probably fake it. Three star.
哇。湯比較香醇一點。麵條本身有點－－粗很多。麵很好吃。味精的味道有少一點。湯體比較濃郁。麵條有入味。看起來就像是碗真的拉麵。品質頗不錯的。這很接近，對，一般的拉麵。如果你把這碗給別人吃，你搞不好可以騙過去。三顆星。
Smells nice. Smells very instant. Good smell of MSG. Not bad. Pretty sweet. Actually, I like this. When I once went to military school, almost 20 years ago, I remember Indonesian students—they always buy that. We swapped the noodles. Very flavorful. It's not really pleasant-looking, but taste is good. Noodle texture is good, too. Flavor is very nice. Three, I would say. I really liked it.
聞起來很香。聞起來很速食。好聞的味精味道。還不賴。很甜。其實我還滿喜歡的耶。我以前上軍校的時候，大概二十年前，我記得印尼來的同學－－他們都會買這個。我們會交換泡麵吃。味道很夠。外觀上沒那麼好看，但吃起來很好吃。麵條的質地也很不錯。口味很好吃。我會給三顆星。我很喜歡耶。
Instant noodle in general is very convenient for many people. Myself, too. You know? But when you at least go to a real ramen restaurant, everything come from scratch. And, definitely, when you actually eat a fresh ramen, and it's kinda hard to go back to instant ramen. That's why we recommend you to go to a real ramen restaurant and try a real ramen.
整體而言，泡麵真的對很多人來說很方便。我自己也這樣覺得。對吧？但至少你去真正的拉麵店的時候，每樣東西都是從原始食材製作的。而且無庸置疑的是，只要你開始吃新鮮的拉麵，就很難回去吃速食泡麵了。這就是為什麼我們推薦你去吃真正的拉麵店，吃吃看真正的拉麵。
Smell is not that spicy, but actually... I take it back. I get a itch here right now. Oh my God!
聞起來沒有很辣，但事實上...我要收回這句話。我現在覺得好癢。我的天哪!
