In my opinion there are only two types of "perfect" food in the world.

1) Sushi.
2) Ramen.

Sushi is what I would eat if I had money to waste, while ramen would be what I'd eat later as a result of spending all my money on good sushi. Mainly because ramen is so affordable, and yes I did say good sushi because I wouldn't want to eat subpar or just average sushi. Not for the $6-12 a roll that most places would charge for just one roll! Ramen has this horrible reputation for being cheap and awful when if simply prepared correctly and made as how the Chinese or Japanese would make their ramen, it's freaking delicious! Most Americans only know of ramen as this Maruchan brand product that costs next to nothing and doesn't taste that great but buy it anyway because they're in college and have little money to spend on something better. Of course instant ramen will taste boring if all you do is follow the package directions. Real ramen like those that are found in noodle shops in larger cities, especially one's on the west coast and around New York serve huge bowls of deliciously prepared ramen with all sorts of different flavors and styles, cold and or hot. You can easily prepare authentic ramen soups now thanks to websites like ramenlicious.com with easy to follow receipe directions for really good eats. Google "ramen" and you'll come up with dozens of different sites that can show you how to best prepare delicious ramen. Being half-chinese I may be juuust a little biased on this topic but give ramen a "real" try and you just might be surprised at its versatility. ^_^
