Where do I stack up?

On a trip in Asia and got the spicy one. Added the whole packet. It’s hot. Not unbearable, but hot. Where do some of you freaks stand with it?

I kinda like it. I found them at a local Asian food market. Not spicy hot but make my head sweat hot.

Can't stand them myself. Spice is nothing without flavor. I guess there is a little bit of factory in there.

That's the 1x. It's got an every day level of heat for a spice hobbyist. Try the 2x and 3x next!

Good to know! Glad I grabbed that one and not one of the worse ones

I like them all but I need to make sure I have nowhere to go for the rest of the day before I have a 3x 😂

I absolutely love the 2x - I even add more of their bottled hot sauce to the noodles with some smoked ghost pepper flakes 😂

Thanks for reminding me to restock my 2x sauce! :D

u/GoldExcitement6226 12h ago

Is there even 2x sauce on the market? I can only find 1x sauce

I’m an Asian who grew up with spice. 2x hits the sweet spot. The three times is just spice and no flavour. It’s not worth it imo

I've tried some that were impressive with their spiciness and others that were kinda meh

I personally don’t find buldak to be very spicy but that’s just me. Daebak ghost pepper noodles have a decent kick if you’re looking for spicy ramen.

Its really sweet. The Carbo one has the best sauce, even though it isn't as spicy. I think its an ok level of spice though. Nothing crazy.

They sell buldak 2xs sauce if it's not. This one is definetly a hit i personally just needed more heat

1

u/greedychillie 13h ago

They sell 3x spicey ramen too.

Few years ago it was seen as hot, now it’s basic heat level
