SHIN RAMYUN:  Korea’s Popular Instant Noodles

 Nong Shim’s Shin Ramyun has been distributed to roughly 80 different countries all over the world.  Yay, it’s so popular that’s why it’s quite visible here in the Philippines.  In fact, you can see it everywhere – grocery stores or even in convenience stores.  And the price?  In all fairness, it’s reasonable [whispering: just don’t compare it to our local noodles].

 So what’s so special about this noodles that made it known all over the world?  Hmmm… To be honest, I don’t know either.  One pack of Shin Ramyun consists of what every other instant noodles has – the seasoning and the dehydrated vegetable tidbits.  But, I think the spiciness of it really stands out among other instant noodles.  I’ve been looking so hard the pack of Shin Ramyun that I bought from the grocery and it clearly states that it’s a spicy mushroom flavor, but have you seen the orange-y of this noodles?  Omo!  It’s so hot and there is really a taste of kimchi that’s why I’m wondering is it really a mushroom flavor not a kimchi flavor?

But anyhow, I’m pretty satisfied with it.  Cook it with bokchoi (Taiwan pechay) and egg just like what I did to make it more nutritious and you’ll feel the Korean-sphere surrounding you!
