Post Ramen share


Makeshift Ramen Ingredients.....


So the Ramen adventure begins....

  • 2 good size bowls (free with rented apartment)
  • Thinly sliced pork (15THB)
  • Naruto roll (10THB)
  • 1 x mushroom Soup cubes each (15THB)  [could not find sachet of ready-made shoyu stock-so said I will "show-you" what I can do! hehehe]
  • Fresh Ramen Noodles (15THB)
Total: 55THB = £1.29 for each bowl of Ramen! Competitive to Bangkok Street Prices!
Yes.... bagged...well "boiled" ourselves up a Bargain! "Cha Ching in my pocket!"  (My Sister will be proud)

FYI the ramen we bought last night were 99THB each

 Ya gotta place them in a pretty way! and then take a photo of course!

Hubby G took this photo with his iPhone 6 Plus,
I ask: "What did you think? what would you rate it? and what would you change?"

he rated 7/10.
and
he says "It was tasty and I think it needed another ingredient or another flavour"

I agreed... I wanted to add sweetcorn (I madly love sweetcorn) but couldn't bring myself to pay over £1 for a can of sweetcorn, when I know I could get a fresh corn on the cob on the street for less that 20p!
Chilli would have been good too... next time...we've still got pork, Naruto and Ramen left in the fridge.

This was a totally on the fly venture... from our journey back from lunch in Soi 55, we just had to pop into the so called Japanese food supermarket that we passed on the way.  When hubby G spotted the frozen Naruto roll.... Ramen was destined to be in our future! hehehe

not only because of our love for Naruto (Anime series) and seeing the pink swirls in his ramen but also for our LOVE of Ramen...hmmm

next I spot the fresh ramen noodles and

I say: "I will make you some hunny!"
Hubby G: "Why? when we can get it cheap just down the road for cheap"
I say: "Trust me it will be much cheaper."

Fast forward 2 hours, I'm in a Tops Supermarket... its been about 1.5hours...and yes I'm still browsing.
soo many different products and yes I suddenly thought... I'm on my honeymoon and I'm alone in the supermarket browsing.... Hubby G left an hour ago, after I took too long in the Japanese Tableware shop.
Thinking about it....I was not alone in Tops... I was with my Sister... well virtually, via Whatsapp,

She's in London and we're messaging each other back and forth sharing the mutual understanding of our madness for bagging a bargain and finding really useful utensils and things that nobody else thinks we will use.

We WILL ....one day use them, and on that very satisfying day... our friends will be like " only you would have something like that!"

She shared with me a funny link about a lady who went on an adventure for Thai cookware!

We could totally relate and in a corny way, reading this blog fulfilled some of our cookware daydreams/hunts!  Is it an Chinese thing? who knows... I don't know if the lady was Chinese or not? just that she used 3 Chinese Dialects to get what she wanted, the cookware and a bargain! hahaha
we salute you!

So tonight ....Hubby G is "Sleeping with a Blogger!   hahahaha



Thanking you for reading, being present and sharing

with love & smiles
