Buldak because their chicken flavor is artificial ๐ฅฐ
Maruchan, without question.
Shin, Black
Maruchan always
Indomie!
I love the fancy ones with like three or four packets inside.
I humbly offer this alternative for your consideration:
I realized I buy them interchangeably and never noticed... I thought it was all called top ramen because you cook it on a stove top
Option C! Sapporo Ichiban
I pick top ramen, but I've been trying better than bouyon with race/egg noodles

i live in asia and i think this is disgusting and i think you should be ashamed of yourself
I also live in Asia.
This isn't a question about a developed palate. It's about which one of these shit food is preferred.
Be inclusive bro, learn to eat some shit.
Why ashamed though?
Go to your local Asian market and they will have a very wide selection of instant noodles that are much better than either of these.
Also grab some LaoGanMa Spicy Chili Crisp to put in it, you can thank me later.
Indomie, MAMA are great. Any other names that come to mind?
I'll never forget when my girlfriend introduced me to Lao Gan Ma crispy chili in oil. Honestly salivating a little just by thinking of it right now. I ate it just about every day for a week, after first trying it. And the smell! Absolutely divine. I do need to keep it wrapped in 3 bags though, for it not to smell up the entire fridge, haha.

For the actual stovetop? Maruchan.
For the "In-a-Cup" variety? Nissin.
But what I really want is Nongshim Shin Black.
Good lord, when you add the bone broth packet...

If you can find it, look for the Indonesian version of ramen from Indomie. In my opinion, so much better - it actually has other flavors than salt! ;)
Indomie comes with its own cute little oil packet suspending oil-soluble spices. =D

Ah yes, lets name the spaghetti after body parts

Everybody ought to have two boxes of spare elbows. You never know.

Yes, together with my'a two pieces of gnocci. Would you'a lika somee sauce with that?
Eat it raw, drink the boiling water. Look across the table and call your horrified friends/relatives/coworkers pussies.
