Instant noodles. Some consider them snacks, whereas some consider them to be life savers when there’s nothing else to eat and the nostalgic ones would often consider instant noodles a reminder of home. I myself experimented with instant noodle recipes on many a boring weekend afternoon, one that works involved putting in dried shrimp, Chinese sausage, an egg, and mixed veg into the mix.

Back when she was studying in the UK, my mum often ate instant noodles with egg. I know of friends who survived university life overseas fueled with just instant noodles and countless rounds of CounterStrike and DoTA. How was this possible? Well, either they stocked up a lot before flying off from Malaysia or they received “CARE” packages with contact lenses and instant noodles counting as essential items.

It’s pretty cost prohibitive to send bulky items like instant noodles overseas particularly States-side, and it doesn’t help either that you need to find them in specialty stores. So, when the guys and girls at Ramenbox (Ramenbox.com) came up with the idea of creating customizable boxes filled with your choice of instant ramen (noodles, they are pretty much the same), I thought that’s pretty smart.

Each Ramenbox comes with a certain number of slots, that you can fill with your choice of instant ramen. Some of them take up more than 1 slot, but  with the regular Ramenbox having 20 slots, there’s plenty of space.

Once you are filling up the slots in your Ramenbox, simply check out and you’ll get your own customized “CARE” package in 1 to 5 days depending on which form of Fedex shipping picked (Ground or Next-Day Service).

And you know what’s cool: your Ramenbox also comes with Ramenbox branded disposable chopsticks, napkins, extra sauce packets and most likely, free samples of Ramen! It’s pretty cheap too, averaging less than 2 bucks a meal.

So regardless whether you are a busy gamer with not much time for food or an overseas Asian student with a strict budget located in the good ole US of A, check out Ramenbox.com for your instant ramen needs.
