Yuck.  Those are still cup ramen made for white guys that don't know better.  I've picked up much better stuff in Jap or Chinese stores.

MAF, head over to the Uwajimaya in Bellevue, it's not far from Microsoft. They have an entire aisle of totally awesome ramen cups, and even instant Yakisoba. It's an Atkins dieter's nightmare come to life.  :lol

All the price tags are in English, and about 99.9% of the food products have a nutritional value label on the back that's entirely in English, so you can figure out what it is, even if moon script is too much to handle.

There are some ethnic groceries around here -- what would be a good brand of ramen to pick up?  If you can't tell me this without writing in moon script, use a wingding.

There is a ramen place right around the corner from my house with hand pulled noodles (lol) and real broth with little bits of fat floating on the surface.   :drool :drool :drool There is also rarely a whitey in sight and the cute waitresses have a casual disdain for my poor work ethic, so you know it's authentic.

I, too, judge the quality of ethnic restaurants by the paucity of whiteys.

I miss this place in Japan near my apartment that served the BEST food ever: yakiniku ramen. Recipe as follows:

1) Make yakiniku, only instead of thinly sliced beef use fucking flank steak
2) Instead of rice, put that shit in a bowl of shoyu ramen
3) NO QUESTION MARKS HERE, SKIP DIRECTLY TO PROFIT

We're not meant to know or understand.

The Japanese have a love for Mayonaise that should never have been inflicted upon mankind.

Yeah, that's pretty good stuff.  I wanted to recommend it but I didn't remember the name.  There might be better Japanese noodles but I don't think any Japanese brand can match the awesome spiciness of Nong Shim.

I've seen Shin Cups before.  I think I sort of brushed it off as cheap shit with packaging only made to look like it's ethnic -- but now that you mention it, cheaper shit than CUP NOODLES?  What was I thinking?

I like buying the instant yakisoba.  Just put in some boiling water and it's done in like three minutes.  Delicious.
