Instant appeal: Why we love instant noodles


It's not fancy, but it gets the job done!

Today is Momofuku Ando's 105th birthday. Star2 celebrates his creation with a few 'instant noodle memories'.

Four men out of five, when asked if they cook, will say no but add almost immediately, “Except instant noodles.” (Well, they don’t actually say “instant noodles”; they mention the brand that’s become the generic name for instant noodles. It comes in a yellow packet with a red logo, as if you didn't already know!)
