That is the most common brand I see here. Can't stand the things myself. All my friends call them "train noodles", as in the past that was all you could really get to eat on China's cripplingly slow trains on your 36 hour or more journey to Beijing or Shanghai. The trains supplied boiling water to hydrate the nasty things.
Over the last (surprisingly) few years the entire train network has been overhauled and trains are up to three or four times faster. I recently paid a visit to Guangzhou (Canton). Went in the morning; attended to business; had lunch and returned home the same day. Only five years ago it was a 12-14 hour trip each way!
And there is no boiling water anymore. No one needs it!
The end is nigh!
Yep, we took those uber long trains in 07' (36, 24hrs). Ramen in just about every seat and for every meal. Those aromas. Takes me right back to my seat. I do love the creative packaging. Wish I could display the better ones in the kitchen. Don't think wife w approve.
