a Brief History On Cup Noodles

The infamous Nissin Cup Noodle was founded by Mr. Momofuku Ando. He began the company with the recipe of these fine noodles in 1948 to find a solution to limited food sources after World War II. He realized that a quality, convenient ramen product would help feed the masses conveniently in times of need whilst retaining its flavour in long term storage. With a simple goal to make a satisfying ramen that could be eaten anywhere, anytime, the first flavour was the Chicken Ramen.

how To Be A Millionaire...

I have a new theory spreading around that a step closer to being a millionaire is eating Cup Noodles.

No! Really!

This month I am challenging myself to working strictly to what I call a budget bite. Meaning?

Well, I cut costs on food. For the month of September, I will only be spending a limited amount on food - for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Living in Hong Kong there is an abundance of food to feast on with a very tight budget but I have decided to rectify the glamor of student days scoffing Cup Noodles. Just because they are simply what they are.

It does sound all too like Super Size Me but really it's not. I will be and have been eating Cup Noodles for much of every lunch (at work) since the beginning of this month. I will be and have been cooking meals under HK$20, and any left overs will help alternate amongst those noodle days. The idea is just a challenge to see and ultimately feel how it is to not have to gloat on the abundance that is readily available. And in the meantime really see if I can do this!

If my theory is right... than if I decide to keep this up, longer than September, then maybe I will become a millionaire.

p.s. the total expenditure will be announced on the last day of September so keep reading!
