I don't eat much instant ramen these days because there's ramen shops in
my little town and I can get fresh Sun Noodles at the supermarket to
make at home.

Those instant cup noodles in foam are awful, but the packaged ramen is
OK.  A ramen shop is a rare sight in my area.  Some can be found in
parts of Pittsburgh.  I hear that they are good, but expensive.  I'll
have to try for myself some day.

If you're really hungry, cup noodle could seem like an attractive
proposition. I find that Korean instant noodles are a cut above the
Japanese instant noodles. They are chewier and thicker. For some reason,
Koreans like to eat the dried instant noodles rather than fresh noodles.
They're going to be more expensive than usual instant ramen but in the
scheme of things, still pretty cheap for a meal. You might have some
problem with the spice level of Korean noodles.
