Hey everybody! This is Randy
Santel "Atlas" and I am very very excited tonight! Last
night, I realized that I love noods as in short for noodles
because I attempted and dominated their Big Ramen
Challenge here at Noods Ramen Bar in the Kaimuki neighborhood
of Honolulu, Hawaii. Now, I did not feel that great last night
after doing the Koko Head Trail. It was a rough way down,
but I feel great tonight. The base challenge is to finish
just one of the Big Ramen Bowls here at Noods Ramen Bar. 40 or
50 people are on the Wall of Fame. It's definitely a doable
challenge. Raina still has the record which is 8 minutes and
25 seconds. I did it last night, just one bowl in 10 minutes and
22 seconds. There's basically four portions of ramen noodles.
Both of them have a whole bunch of pork. Each one's got four
soft boiled eggs. We've got healthy bamboo and then a whole
bunch of seaweed, and then we've got green onions in the middle.
This one is the Pork Tonkatsu, and then this is the Shio Ramen.
This one's going to be heartier, thicker. This one's going to be
lighter - a little bit more saltier, so we are going to do
this challenge first, and then after that, I'm going to restart
my timer and do this, trying to be the first person to win the
challenge twice back-to-back, but let's get this challenge started!! Alright, Atlas is back today.
Of course, if I do finish in the twenty-minute time limit,
I'm going to get the forty-five-dollar bowl of ramen
for free. I'm not going to get an extra sweet T-shirt today,
because I already won the one last night, but I'll get another
photo up on the Wall of Fame as the first person for doing two.
So, whoo. Let's shut up and eat!! One, two, three, BOOM!!
Alright, let's do it. So many noodles. We've just gotta get
eating. I'm going to try to beat the 10:22. We'll see what happens. I wanted to come back today to promote the
restaurant because it's awesome here, great staff, and the owner has
been a subscriber for a long time. I'm going to do like eight
minutes of chopsticks, and then when I decide I'm fed up, I'm
going to switch to a spoon. I still don't know how to grab
soft boiled eggs with chopsticks. It's still very hot. What I'm happy
about is all this is still cooling off, so it's going
to be easier to eat when I get done with this one. I felt like I could've done two
yesterday, but I wasn't feeling very well, so I'm glad I only
did one, and I'm glad it worked out that I could come back and
try two today. Each one of these is about five pounds, so
ten pounds is going to be a lot. The bottom is still very hot.
Look at that steam. I'm like getting a facial? 4 minutes and 7 seconds in. These soft boiled eggs are so good. Actually, I think I am going to
beat my time from yesterday. You know, I think I can
actually beat Raina's time. So, I'm going to switch
over to this spoon. Still got time. We got it! AAAHHHH!!!! 7 minutes and 19 seconds. That was so good. I really don't think I would have beaten
it if I just went with chopsticks. I think Raina did use chopsticks for most
of hers but I beat her time today. To watch her 8 minutes, 25 second video,
the link is down in the description, but I love Pork Tonkatsu. I loved the flavor of
it. It's definitely got some fat in it which makes it yummy
and then of course the cooks, the staff here at Noods Ramen
Bar. This is their Shio Ramen which has pork on it but Shio is salt-
based. I hear it's awesome, and it is a little bit thinner, so
I'm excited for that. Let's get the timer restarted. I don't
think I'm going to try to beat the 7:19 I just did it in, but we
still got 20 minutes to beat it in under the time limit. Let's
become the first person to win this twice back-to-back.
1, 2, 3, BOOM!! Alright, chopsticks again. (crowd cheering) Thankfully, this has been
cooling off. We'll see what happens. It is still steaming hot! I keep on trying to swallow too
many noodles at one time, and I need to stop that. I still feel
good. Are you inspired? haha I'm showing
that two can be done, so one is easy. The Pork is so tender. Alright, I'm going to knock out
some of these soft-boiled eggs. I will say my stomach is
starting to feel it but we've still got plenty of room. The service here is better than
the ramen. The ramen is fantastic! The Black Garlic Ramen is their
most popular, biggest seller. We're almost done with the hard part. Alright, I think this is the last soft boiled egg. We are done with all of the meat after this. We just hit seven and a half minutes, so there's
twelve and a half minutes to go. Let's do it! Starting to fill up, but we've got
time. We've got space too! Just hit nine minutes in. Eleven
to go. I'm going to finish off the rest with a fork. I think
that will give me more confidence. I feel like I'm running
out of time, but I still haven't hit last night's
time of 10:22. This is not a low salt challenge. High
in deliciousness though!! Thankfully it's 20 minutes, and not 15. This is preparing me for all the Australian
challenges, even though a lot of them are on the smaller side. 8 minutes
to go, a little less. I've still got room. I will say, doing this tonight
while I'm feeling good, after about 30,000 steps, walking all
over Waikiki today - I'm going to get it tonight, but I
don't think I would have last night. The good thing is that I don't
don't think they have a dessert menu here. The Honolulu area
has more restaurants than people. There's a restaurant
every like 35 feet, it seems like, so maybe we'll have
some dessert on the way home. I just gotta get the last
few little scraps. AAAHHHHH!!!! It is not the record, because I
already got that, so I don't need to do it twice, but I did
beat it within the 20-minute time limit. 15 minutes and 57
seconds! I gotta tell you, I don't really think that I
noticed a whole ton of difference between the Pork
Tonkatsu and then the Shio with the pork on top. All in
all, it was similar ingredients, just a little bit
of a different ramen broth. Loved both of them, but if I
had to come back for a normal meal - I've been seeing lots of
people get the Black Garlic Ramen. It looks so good, but
it's not available as part of the challenge but still loved
both. So, compliments to the chefs - everybody here, such an
awesome friendly staff - here at Noods Ramen Bar. This location
in the Kaimuki neighborhood of Honolulu. Again, there's
another one. It's in a food court in Windward Mall.
Such good food. This time, I'm going to get both of my
$45 ramen bowls for free. I'm not going to get another
sweet T-shirt because I already got the one from last night, but
I will get another spot up on the Wall of Fame. I'll be the
first person to finish two. Thank you so much for watching
this extra video! I know I did film it the day after winning
the base Big Ramen, but I know you're watching it quite a bit
later. So, thanks for watching this one from Honolulu, Hawaii.
Now, if you did like this ramen challenge, I'm sure you're
going to like this one too. So, check this video out and thank
you guys for watching. Win before we begin!!
