Winner, for the most overzealous package design! This behemoth struck me as something like a Chinese interpretation of American barbeque, with a consistency and (vaguely) flavor like baked potato soup. No false advertising here: the bottom two thirds of my bowl looked exactly like the ladle full of crushed red chilies on the package.

At 108g, (see the Vifon review below for comparison) this package had by far the biggest quantity and widest variety of seasoning we've seen yet. It's all about value. That being said, the flavor onslaught was so intense that I couldn't even finish the soup. That's a first, too.

You get quite a bit from Mr. Kon, but I did not find the taste of the unrestrained sauce-frenzy enjoyable at all. I'd recommend looking for something a bit more balanced.
