But don't let that stop you from trying it!

Starting with the original, the shrimps tastes really nice. They taste like a spring roll. The pork is amazing too! It tastes like little meatballs. The onions add a nice accent. I really like the toppings on this one. I think the soup is a bit saltier than the others, but still not too much. It is much more "standard cup noodle broth" than the seafood.

I'm not big on calamari, taste or texture-wise, but this was fine. The soup doesn't have an overwhelming seafood taste. It's very slightly creamy in my opinion. It mixes well with the other flavours though. It's nice and hearty. This instant noodles series is believed to be the first cup noodles.
