RARA Noodles (Instant Noodles)
Another national instant ramen in Nepal! White and mild soothing
Description
A national instant noodle brand invariably sold in supermarkets and tiny shops nationwide alongside the absolute king 'Wai Wai'. While Wai Wai features brown fried noodles and junk strong flavor, RARA Noodles' greatest feature is 'white noodles' and a very mild, gentle chicken-based soup (closer to salt flavor).
