MOMOCON 2017 - RAMEN CON (unofficial event)
17One of our crazy friends had a crazy idea to hold an impromptu tournament to see who could eat a bowl of this Samyang Brand Limited Edition 2x Spicy Chicken Flavor Ramen the fastest! (2x Spicy Haek Buldak Bokkeummyun). He provided EVERYTHING, including the prizes for the finalists, the tools to cook ramen, the table, the chair, the gas burner, the food, and even a suitcase filled with chocolate candy, breath mints, vegetable juices, and even mouthwash.
Since he was so serious, I figured I'd join the fun and record the whole thing on my phone. It started small with friends, but then blew up to this whole thing involving a bunch of the crowd and people passing by.
Despite being successful, this was NOT an officially sanctioned Momocon event. If you were there, took pictures, participated, or otherwise enjoyed the festivities, let us know so we can petition to have an actual event next year!
And yes, the noodles are as hot as they look. They're an oil-based hot that coats your tongue, so be careful if you get your hands on some of these.
