Ramen Talk Crispy Honey BBQ Pork Bites
Description
"Crispy Honey BBQ Pork Bites Secret Recipe of Blended Spices" are a variety of broad pork flavoured noodles made by a company called "Ramen Talk".
They have at least three web sites (T-mall, US, UK - not counting social media).
They are trying to sell themselves as premium quality noodles through gorilla marketing and social media.
These noodles are made in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.
The noodles are manufactured by "Kurita Foods (Nanjing)"
which is a Sino-Japanese joint venture between "Kurita Co., Ltd" and "Nanjing Yangzi Grain, Oil and Food Machinery Co., Ltd" since 2014.
The package claims that they have won a Superior Taste award by the International Taste Institute in Brussels and the brand has sold over 5000万 (literally "5000 10,000s", i.e., 50 Million) units.
I picked these up for about AUD$5.00 from my local Asian grocer in Sydney - so have been quite an international collaboration.

Thoughts
Overall, I liked these noodles.
The noodles where good and their flat shape helped to pick up the sauce well.
The pork bites where a little odd in texture but worked to give the dish a porky taste.
The pickled vegetables where strange in combination with the sauce and where a little out of place.
It had a peppercorn flavour that has an almost acidic taste.
There is also a creamy feel to this that was hard to pinpoint.
The combination is a little odd, and probably not universally accessible but i liked it personally.
