I was a ramen virgin for a long time. It was not until I watched Hikaru No Go, a Japanese anime that my brains processed its existence. Who said cartoons were bad for you. They can totally give a world view of things .. in this case, of noodles.
The main character Hikaru, who loves Ramen, often goes to a Ramen place. He slurps the noodles loudly and that the noise would get me every time. It always made me wonder just how good Ramen is.
However, due to the insufficient amount of space in my tummy, I never bothered to explore Ramen. Most of the space was already occupied with Malaysian, spicy food. But then, as if the Ramen Gods thought it was time, I had the most life changing conversation in my life. With my bro in law.
