I'm finally done with my mid-terms!
Now I can play with unfettered abandon without the nagging thought of exams. Haha, well...not that I studied real hard but enough to do okay bah, at least I hope so. I'm been going out very little during the exam week. Mainly camping in my dorm to read my slides, dota.

Most of my meals were settled with cup noodles. In fact, I've consumed so much over the past week that I think I am now certified to do a review on Korean cup noodles.

The cup noodles here are pretty good and theres a good amount of variety to choose from. Shin ramen, KimChi ramen, Maruchan ramen, Spicy ramen, Udon ramen & Seafood ramen.

Prawn flavour noodles. Non spicy. Kind of like Myojo prawn flavour. Its good to have this when you're sick though because its mild and good comfort food. You think of Singapore food and you realise that your soup gets more salty because of your tears dripping into the water. Haha just kidding.

Spicy noodles. Er..I think its obvious from that reddish soup base. The noodles (tang myun) are more like mee sua which is different from the typical cup noodles. So-so.

The Kimchi. This is cheap and good. Lots of noodles, good for fulling the stomach. I'll skip introducing Shin Ramen, you can easily find it available on the shelves of all Singapore supermarkets.

The 'higher class' version of Kimchi flavour noodles by Nongshim. They use dehydrated soup base with tofu cubes and big slaps of kimchi. This is good shyt but kind of costly. So I hardly consume them.

Bibimmyeon. Basically its noodles mixed with gochuchang just like bibimbab. I love this. But I love the real thing even more. Of course, the egg is sold separately.

Chachangmyun! My favourite noodles but somehow processed chachangmyun doesn't taste anything close to the real thing. In fact, it tastes really different especially in terms of the black bean paste and the elasticity of the noodles.

A smaller version of chachangmyun. Good for light supper before going to bed. Its fit for girls with small mouths. But definitely too little for me. I can finish it in one swoop.

Spaghetti. Would've tasted like the authentic stuff if the noodles were thicker. Nice but the portion was too little and pricey.

My all-time favourite! Ra men bokki. Ramen with spicy sauce that they use for tteobokki. Its so good that I swept all the remaining cups off the shelf. I am going to pack a luggage of this back to Singapore.
