Ramyeon 

 

Ramyeon, or instant noodles, used to be one of my favorite foods.

When I was a student, a bowl of ramyeon after pulling an all-nighter would help me feel less exhausted.

And after I landed a job, the ramyeon I ate after work helped me shake off the stress from my job.

I couldn't eat ramyeon as freely after I got married, since I was eating meals with my husband.

I especially had to hold back a lot because my kids wanted to eat it too.

I was worried they would get too used to instant food.

Now that my kids have grown up a bit, we cook and eat ramyeon together from time to time.

But somehow, it doesn't taste as good as I remember it. ★

Very spicy flavors seem to be trending lately, so ramyeon has become too spicy for my taste.

On top of that, I have stomach issues when I eat ramyeon now. ★

Actually I really don't like instant noodles. I have stomach issues when I eat ramyeon, so I sometimes eat 짜장라면 or 우동라면 a bit. 라면 is getting spicy like 불닭볶음면. I had it some day, it seems like my tongue was fired. Even my stomach was ill until nightfall.
