Ramen to go for dinner

Hello there beautiful humans. A few days ago when we went out to the mall we took some groceries too. Usually when hubby is out of the country I do my grocery at the nearby store because I don't know how to drive. I tried learning how to drive but it was a disaster. Hahaha! I just knew how to start the engine and well I can drive it only within the cemetery when hubby tried teaching me a few years back, unfortunately he give up and it was for a better because we might have broken up because we always ended up fighting because I don't have enough courage to learn. Maybe soon, when? I don't either. Only time would tell.

Now going back to our grocery stuff, we found this ramen to go at one of frozen goods at SM supermarket. There's actually two grocery stores at SM Fairview, the supermarket and the hypermarket. For the past months, we are always at the latter one. That day we visited the first one and it was a good decision because we found out some new amazing stuffs at the store. They now have a corner for international goods and other imported products that was very new to my eyes. And speaking of it, they got another instant ramen from the famous ichiran in Japan. I haven't been in Japan but my husband has been there many times, perks of working in a cruise ship. He told me about this famous ramen shop and the last time he went there to eat, he bought some instant ramen for me so I could have an idea how delicious it is. Imagine how I was surprised to find it in a local grocery store but I was also shocked at the same time because of its price. The price for 5 instant noodles cost 1450 php, so using my calculator while I was writing this, the cost of each noodle pack is 290 php. Expensive right? The size is about the same size of regular pancit canton noodles. No matter how good that ramen is I refused to buy it.

However, Anthony got the the frozen ramen to go. It was already good for two and the price was 790 php. Yeah I know it was expensive too, but the thing is it comes with all the ingredients including the vegetables and pork inside the package. The ramen package was from Ramen Nagi, and yes their ramens are quite expensive but it was deliciously heaven. You'll end up asking for extra noodles because one serving of it isn't enough. We ate at their Trinoma branch in 2019, that was a long time ago so I surely missed it. I have to admit that when it comes to food we are a big spender.

The next day, we decided to served it on our dinner. I simply followed the instructions on the package. First I heat up the soup until it boils. You can use a microwave and since we don't have one I used the stove instead. Next cook the noodles by putting it in a boiled water and stir it for about 30 seconds. Drain and then set aside. The next step is heating the toppings which include the vegetables and the pork. Blanche it on boiling water for 30 seconds too. You can also boiled some egg which is optional because it isn't included in the package. If everything is done, time to assemble everything. And tada your very own ramen is ready.

And just as expected, we ran out of ramen noodles because it was only good for 2 and we are four in the house, good thing we bought another instant ramen brand from the international corner at the supermarket but a little cheaper from Ichiran. I cooked it and just in time the boys asked for some extra noodles it was ready.

We were all satisfied with the taste of the ramen because it was just the same as what we have in the restaurant. Just that this time I was given a chance to prepare it by myself and be a ramen chef even just for a day.

Thanks for reaching this far. I hope you didn't crave for ramen while reading this.
