I haven’t had Tim’s coffee for years...

Went to the Tim Hortons nearby because I was badly craving coffee and I was out of coffee creamer at home. (I usually just make my coffee at home.) I think this is the first time I’ve had Tim’s Double Double coffee in years, and honestly, it tasted weird to me almost like burnt coffee. So weird. Never again.

Sick!

I told myself I would eat Buldak this weekend and enjoy my own company, but last night while sleeping, I felt like I was going to be sick. And so this morning, I have a sore throat, and now I can’t eat Buldak! 😭😭 I badly crave it, but now I need to rest up and heal first. 🥲

I tried and reviewed sixteen different Buldak flavors

I’ve been an instant ramen enthusiast for over two decades, so I decided to go all-in on Buldak earlier this year. I acquired every variety of non-cup noodle I could get my hands on. I ended up trying and reviewing 16 flavors over approximately a 6 month span. I prepared each one using the packet directions without adding anything extra so I could get as neutral of a rating as possible.

A note about ratings:

  • The overall rating is based on the following scale:
    • 1=inedible (never found anything this bad)
    • 5=uninspiring but an adequate meal (ex: Maruchan chicken)
    • 10=perfection (ex: Samyang Hot Chicken Flavor stir-fried noodle)
  • I am also a big spice enthusiast–I have eaten a whole, fresh carolina reaper in a single sitting. The spice ratings are based on my heavily skewed rating scale:
    • 1=detectable spice
    • 5=fairly painful, but enjoyable if I pace myself, realistically this is the most spice I would want in a meal
    • 10=capsaicin oil (1M+ SHU?)

My ratings from least to best:

  1. Swicy (not pictured): Rating: 4/10, Spice: 1/10, standard noodles, slight chili pepper flavor, tastes like a donut with the small portion I made with the sprinkles, the rating increases to 6 without the sweet sprinkles
  2. Habanero Lime: Rating: 6/10, Spice: 3/10, thick noodles, medium lime, below average soup flavor
  3. Tom Yum: Rating: 7/10, Spice: 2/10, excellent wide and thick noodles, well balanced lime flavor
  4. Cheese: Rating: 7/10, Spice: 2/10, thick noodles, mild cheese, not as good as Maruchan cheese cup
  5. Quattro Cheese: Rating: 7/10, Spice: 2/10, thick noodles, medium cheese. A little better than the cheese flavor but not overly different
  6. Taco: Rating: 7/10, Spice: 2/10, thick noodles, strong enchilada/Ortega mexican spice packet flavor
  7. Rose: Rating: 7/10, Spice: 3/10, thick noodles, tastes like broccoli cheddar soup
  8. Seasoned Chicken (Asia Only): Rating: 7/10, Spice: 2/10, thick noodles, slightly sweet, similar to yakisoba
  9. Original: Rating: 8/10, Spice: 2/10, thick noodles, strong chili pepper flavor
  10. Yakisoba: Rating: 8/10, Spice: 4/10, thin noodles, slightly sweet, this caused me to sweat
  11. 2x Spicy: Rating: 8/10, Spice: 5/10, thick noodles, strong chili pepper flavor, I hyper ventilated a little and sweated a lot. A painful, fun time.
  12. Carbonara: Rating: 8/10, Spice: 2/10, thick flat noodles, mild cheese and tomato flavor, great noodle texture
  13. Mala (Asia only): Rating: 8/10, Spice: 3/10, thick noodles, some hints of Indian spices, good balance, similar to Lucky me! brand Pancit Canton
  14. Curry (not pictured): Rating: 8/10, Spice: 3/10, thick noodles, medium curry flavor
  15. Cream Carbonara: Rating: 9/10, Spice: 2/10, thick flat noodles, stronger cheese and tomato flavor than regular carbonara, great noodle texture
  16. Stew Type: Rating: 9/10, Spice: 2/10, excellent thick wide noodles, excellent soup flavor, the essence of instant ramen right here

Some final thoughts: all but two of these flavors are clustered together in the 7-9 out of 10 range. This tells me that Buldak is pretty consistent between flavors with quality and it’s perhaps because they all use pretty much the same base flavor. I was bummed to hear that Stew Type was discontinued. If I ever see this one again I will for sure stock up. The ones that are 8 and above I would buy again. Hopefully the community finds this dive into the brand interesting.

Automatic lights

Hi, I hope someone can answer my problem that is going on for weeks in my 2024 HRV EX-L. My headlights and tail-lights are always on even in the broad day light. I can turn it off when my car is on park but when I drives it, it would turn on and won’t turn off. My settings for the light is on Automatic.

Just want to breathe here... please let me...

I think I’ve already hit rock bottom. After living with my in-laws for a while, my husband and I ended up paying 70% of my SIL and MIL’s mortgage because my MIL begged us to move back in since they could no longer afford the mortgage payments.

I think my husband and I really need to move out again. It’s exhausting when we’re the ones constantly showing up to work while my SIL seems to just stay at home all the time and depend on others. And my MIL enables her too. Whenever my husband asks why my SIL still doesn’t have a job, my MIL always says, “I don’t know” or “Ask her, not me.” It’s tiring.

I honestly don’t know why I agreed, as a wife, to move back here when they didn’t even treat me well before, back when my husband and I were still just boyfriend and girlfriend. I guess I’m just too kind sometimes. I often regret leaving the peace we had before, even if we were only renting our own place.

I just felt so bad for my MIL because she’s retired now, and she would always tell us that she couldn’t rely on my SIL because she’s lazy and irresponsible with money. So we ended up carrying the burden of their mortgage, even though it was really their problem from the very beginning.

It’s honestly hard being too kind. Thankfully, I know how to set boundaries. I’m the type of person who doesn’t overshare with them or constantly hang out with them. Most of the time, I just spend time with my husband. I got used to it being just the two of us because we were independent for three years while living on our own.
