Latest Love <3 "Maruchan Ramen"

My apologies. This post is coming out really late. Again. This of course is do to another of my latest loves... Super Mario Galaxy. Much of everything but that game has come to a stand-still. :P I expect that'll be the case for the next few days. ;) But on the plus side, I have been looking to pare down these posts and my lack of time has forced me to do so. This will be short and sweet. ;) By the by, I just beat Super Mario Galaxy a few minutes ago. Not bad huh? ;) Well actually I haven't truly beat the game. As any Mario fan will tell you, you haven't gotten to the end until you've collected 120 stars. I've got 50 more to go. :D

So I was at the grocery store the other day and I couldn't help myself when I happened upon the ramen noodles. Now, usually I eat... uhhh... I actually forget the brand, but the product has "Cup" in the title. Anyway, it's nothing special. Just noodles in a cup. But recently, in the past couple of months, my Mom got me hooked on spicy ramen. She has this brand that she likes to eat. The name escapes me again. But it comes in a styrofoam bowl. Now usually I'm not one for spicy anything. In fact, I'm a real pussy when it comes in ingesting spice. The mildest of chili gets my nose running and produces a steady flow of beads of sweat on my nose.

But the spice that came pre-packaged with my Mom's spicy noodles was divine. I can't take the full dosage. But the right mix sends me to heaven. ;) I still suffer the side-effects, but it's well worth it. Anyway, those noodles are hard to come by and quite expensive for a single serving in my humble opinion.

So while I was at the grocery store I was amazed to see a wide variety of flavors within my grasp. From two brands. The Cup one and Maruchan. Neither is the original spicy ramen I fell in love with. But I thought I would gamble and experiment. So... I've never really been fond of the Cup. And Maruchan is a call back to the days of yore. :P Something I used to eat years and years ago and just haven't since for some reason. Anyway I was sold on the big M when I started to get nostalgic, plus I couldn't resist their awesome kawaii-errific logo. So I picked up seven packs of theri chili-flavored ramen (Hey! It was incredibly inexpensive. Don't look at me like that. :P ). OMG! I had some tonight. It was fuckin' awesome. Not the same as the spicy ramen I fell in love with... it was even better. I forgot how damn good that ramen tasted. The prep is longer since it's not instant. But having to breaking out the pots and bowls is well worth it for that taste and texture. :D You should try it. ;)

Maruchan Ramen. And it's tasty too! ;)

DS333, not such a bad post after all. :P

p.s. I would've linked to their official site, but it's in Japanese. :P
