Calling ramen lovers ....

I love ramen and made this site over the weekend

www.ippudonyc.com

Nice site! But don't be dissing the 99cent ramen packs. That shit got me through some lean college years

Nice site, Alex! Are you back in Japan or BK?

LeeHo long time no see ... I'm in BK

your site cements my plans for menchanko-tei sometime this week. yum.

Glad you guys like the site! It's actually getting a fair amount of traffic

I still have it every once in a while, but I usually sauté some slices of beef and veggies while soaking the noodles in hot water. Add the noodles when soft (but not the water!) and the spices and you have a cheap, quick & easy meal.

I get the Korean ramen like Shin Ramyun or Neoguri and add stuff to them, like fish balls, dumplings, mushrooms, sliced radish, spinach, etc.

mMmm RAMEN.

Now I want Bimbibob! wah.

Ramen was one of the finest things to happen to young struggling touring musicians. I developed just an affinity for it on the road that I still buy it and eat it regularly. It's such an easy food to get creative with and above all, it's cheap as hell!

Hello!! Still a struggling grad student...who says you can't get a fulfilling meal for twenty cents a pack plus a few little add-ons thrown in to fancy it up a little bit.

Careful. Just don't make that the only thing you eat. I know a girl who gave herself scurvy that way.

what exactly is scurvy (asks the graduate student)?

scurvy from ramen? pirates musta loved that stuff.

Scurvy is a disease of the connective tissues caused by a lack of vitamin C.

Is there ANYTHING that didn't happen to you or someone that you personally know?

That answer to that my friend is NO.
I find in general that when you're messed up, messed up things happen to you. Just an observation.

Ate ramen all freshman year (do NOT ask what year)- no scurvy, I just gained 15 friggin pounds. That sucked, so I stay away from it.
