After being in Korea for a couple of months as an exchange student, I still hadnโt fully adjusted to the food. Donโt get me wrongโI loved most of itโbut the spicy stuff? Yeah, that was a whole different story. Then one day, a friend handed me a pack of ramen, saying, โThis oneโs not as spicy. You should be fine.โ It was Jin Ramen. Iโd heard all about Korean ramen, but honestly, I was kind of scared to try it because of the whole setting-your-mouth-on-fire thing.
But then I looked at the package and stopped in my tracks. BTSโs Jin was right there, smiling at me from the cover. Now, Iโm not super into BTS, but my girlfriend back home? Sheโs literally their biggest fan, especially when it comes to Jin. I remembered her freaking out over this ramen once, saying she had to try it because Jin was promoting it. Suddenly, I had an ideaโwhat if I ate this and then bragged to her about it? I could already picture her reaction.
So, I started cooking the ramen, and as soon as the water started boiling and the noodles hit the pot, this incredible smell filled the air. I was starting to get a little more hyped. The broth turned a deep red, and it honestly looked kinda intimidating, but hey, I was committed. Carefully, I took a sip of the broth, fully expecting to regret my life choices.
But guess what? It wasnโt bad at all! Sure, it was spicy, but in that just-right way that made it fun to eat, not painful. I was actually enjoying it. The broth had this rich, savory flavor, and the noodles were nice and chewy. Honestly, I was impressed. I thought, โOkay, this is actually doable. Maybe Iโm tougher than I thought.โ
After polishing off the whole bowl, I grabbed my phone and immediately texted my girlfriend. โGuess who just had Jin Ramen?โ I typed, feeling all smug. She replied in seconds, like I knew she would. โNO WAY. THE JIN RAMEN? How was it? Tell me everything!โ She was already geeking out.
I laughed and told her, โNot gonna lie, it wasnโt as spicy as I expected. Even I could handle it, and you know me! The broth was amazing, and the noodles were perfect.โ She replied with, โUgh, Iโm so jealous! Iโve been dying to try that!โ
Thatโs when I remembered the other thing I needed to tell her. So, while I was buying the ramen, I found out that Famigo was selling it for 70% off. Like, what?! I knew sheโd freak out over that. โBy the way, you can get it on Famigo for 70% off right now,โ I texted her. Her reply came instantly: โAre you serious? Thatโs insane! Iโm ordering it right now!โ
As I sat there, feeling pretty proud of myself for discovering such a good deal, I couldnโt help but think how random and fun life in Korea had become. Little things like thisโgetting to connect with my girlfriend over some ramen and scoring major discountsโwere making my exchange experience way more awesome.
So yeah, now that Iโve survived my first bowl of Jin Ramen, I feel like I can take on more of Koreaโs spicier dishes. Jin Ramenโs definitely made its way onto my list of favorite things here, and thanks to Famigo, Iโm living that broke-student life but with way more flavor.
