Reading this thread is making me crave for some ramen.

This is a Japanese article but in English. Interestingly, it mentions an instant ramen museum.

[Abstract]

Just bought some Nong Shim Hot and spicy mushroom flavour. Without this man, I would never be able to eat this tasty treat.


I'm going to eat one tomorrow in memory of this man.


R.I.P.

If you were aware of what real ramen tastes like you would be celebrating the fact that he is now in hell having his instant crap rammed up his backside with a fiery poker for all eternity.

Regarding college days, I started smoking in college but I'm not going to start commemorating Philip Morris Day.

Food snob.

And I just came back from Japan 3 days ago. I think I had ramen every 2 days or so, and while it's fantastic (oh goodness was the food good...), sometimes the instant stuff can be just as tasty. It's just different, that's all.

Oh, and Nissin isn't THAT bad. The beef flavour one in the packet is quite good if you undercook it so that the noodles are hard, and if you don't put in much water. The taste is so strong, and it was always my favourite when I was growing up because (1) I didn't know better, and (2) The packaging had a cute character, which got me hooked as a kid, and finally (3) It was the first thing I was ever allowed to cook on my own without supervision. This was when I was around 8-9 years old.
