The Prodigal Son Returns to Celebrate Holy Week, Day 4 (see previously 6.088 Standard v Speckled Ribeye).

In the Philippines–arguably the most passionately Catholic country in the world–Maundy Thursday and Good Friday are national holidays.

I spent the extended weekend in Seoul, arriving early Thursday morning, flying back to Manila tonight.

At check-in, I was relieved to find that I am still an Elite Member of PR (see generally 5.363 Pasta + Sandwich for the Elite).

I can see how branding something as “black” might seem more appealing in the context of, say, booze or clothing or electronics, but not so much with food; this newer/pricier BLACK version of Shin Ramyeon (see features an additional powdered beef that turns the soup white(ish).

Funny, the last time that I had instant noodles at an airport was over 4 years ago in the Asiana Business Class lounge on my way to Manila for the first time ever (see 2.033 Roast Duck Noodle Soup).

  2. shin ramyeon in general is one of my least favorites.

    but i agree that it’s better in its regular form, which is cleaner/lighter in flavor.
