[/url]i’ve started a new project earlier this week. i’m not sure how long it is going to take me to accomplish, but at the rate i’m going, it looks like it’s going to be something like 2 or 3 months. man, i don’t know if i have that kind of patience… but i can already start to feel myself getting sick of it, so slow and steady will win the race.
what is this new project? i’ve decided that i need to find the best instant ramen base package to make my ramen from so i went to the local chinese store and bought something like 20 different packages of ramen. so far this project has set me back about $10, but i anticipate on getting more samples at different stores as well.
the melting pot is a good fondue chain from what i hear. there’s one near me as well, but i haven’t had the chance to try it out yet. maybe the next time there’s an occassion to celebebrate i’ll go check it out.
I saw your page about the fondue place… and couldn’t find the entry to comment, so I figure this foodie entry is as good as any! There’s this place in Irvine called The Melting Pot… oooh it was heaven!
I grew up on ramen…right when our mom stop cooking for us starving children.
I used to eat the tung-i and kung fu brands as well until i switched to neoguri. the two noodles are completely different though. Both are YUM! Ramen was my pizza in college! =)
What you do to make them all taste better and a little bit healther is to add fresh veggies (bean sprouts, tofu, bok choy) or tempura or meat/fish balls in it. It makes a difference
The red packaged Neoguri one is good!
my favorite instant ramen is either the beef tung-i or the beef kung-fu brand. one of them (i forget which) has a separate packet of this nuclear orange spice paste. YUM. yay for instant ramen!
hahaha. fulfilling indeed. yes, all my pipe dreams of becoming a ramen taste tester are finally becoming a reality. my life is complete…
it’s actually a little frightening how much MSG and sodium is in these little packages. but i grew up on this stuff.
i ate two packages earlier this week and felt a little sick though, so i may have to eat one package at a time…and i think i can only do it twice a week. anymore and i think i’ll just die.
sounds like you’ll be ingesting way too much MSG… 🙂
sounds like a fulFILLING project… can’t wait to see the results! 🙂
