I think it's fun. The whole wall has a ton of instant noodles to choose from, including Korean noodles and Manhan Feast noodles. The instant noodles are more expensive than those sold on Shopee, but there's a mini self-serve bar where you can get ingredients, which is the area in the photo. It's focused on freshly cooked instant noodles with added ingredients.
The vegetable area is free to take from, with options like cabbage, bean sprouts, mini fish cakes, blood rice cake, thin tofu, onions, green onions, and kimchi. Other items like eggs, meat slices, milk, drinks, snacks, and candies are sold separately in the fridge or cabinets, and you can grab them yourself and then check out at the automatic payment machine.
It's open 24 hours and has air conditioning, which feels great, and the environment is clean and bright. This kind of self-cook ramen setup has been around at Hi-Life for a long time, and I find it very enjoyable.
What I really like about this place is that even if you eat slowly, the staff won't rush you. Cooking for yourself is really fun, and it feels satisfying to load up the aluminum bowl. I think that ingredients like blood rice cake and fish cakes should be submerged in the water to cook properly!
Then, I add cabbage and bean sprouts on top! Stirring while cooking ensures they cook well! I add "tofu, kimchi, onion, and green onion" only after cooking because I like to eat raw onions!
If you choose dry noodles, it's best to add the powder last. Drain the water before adding it so that it doesn’t lose its flavor. I chose the 88-dollar soup noodles, but since I prefer not to drink the soup, I don’t add much water and just stir while cooking.
