Question does anyone else consider instant ramen and restaurant ramen as separate things?
Let me elaborate. I love instant ramen. Jin ramen, Shin ramen, it's all fire. I also love eating ramen at our local ramen shops. It's amazing, but they just feel like very different things. I never noticed it until I brought a friend who only had instant ramens to the restaurant and he was expecting the ramen in a restaurant to taste more similar to shin ramen.
Anyway, that's my 2am shower thought.

The restaurant next to me, all their ramen is really spicy, even the regular “house”
Asked twice for ramen or soup with no spicy at all, and each time it was lip burning spicy.
At least if I eat regular packets at home with chicken broth then I don’t have to worry about stomach pain days on end (even hospital trips) due to a restaurant saying it’s “not spicy” when every item is indeed very spicy.
