Cup Noodle Guru dies
I love ramen/instant noodles, in all forms – packets, cups, in a polystyrene bowl, in a plastic bowl……and when I read that the Cup Noodle Guru has passed away, i thought it was only fair that I mention something about his passing.
He is the Japanese inventor of the modern day instant noodles and that snack, since its invention has sold over billions world wide since its launch after WWII. His name is Momofuku Ando founder and chairman of Nissin Food Products Co. Ltd. and was 96 years old when he passed on last Friday. As a fan of Nissin, the Japanese brand noodles i love after korean’s Shin Noodles brand, I am stocking up my pantry this weekend with Nissin seafood ramen as a sign of respect for the guy.

Momofuku Ando even has an instant noodle museum named after him, that pretty much sums up how big he is in the instant noodle world. After all, like Siegmund Freud is father to psychology, Momofuku Ando is father to instant noodles.
