When Mom Violy spotted Crisostomo’s handwritten menu, something in her chest lit up: home-style lumpia, sinigang steaming in clay pots—could this be the comfort food she’d been missing?

Carmina informed Mom Violy that she would visit her home on Saturday, November 8, 2025. She asked if Mom Violy wanted to go out for lunch and mentioned needing to do some grocery shopping due to an upcoming big storm. Mom Violy suggested trying Crisostomo, a Filipino restaurant inside Robinsons Magnolia. Carmina forwarded the menu for her to choose what she wanted to eat, while Carmina already knew her order. I chose pork barbeque served in a set of three pieces with a vinegar dipping sauce. I skipped rice and opted for lumpiang hubad, fresh lumpia without a wrapper, topped with peanut sauce.  Mom Violy initially craved the classic Pinoy paella, but when it wasn’t available, she decided on sinigang na baboy with an extra serving of rice. A family member chose sisig with garlic rice. Carmina enjoyed her meal with Mom Violy and particularly liked the  lumpiang hubad , though she kept wondering why it had no wrapper.

Nongshim Shin Ramyun Non-Frying Noodle Soup


In our life there will always be someone who leaves us not due to having problems in your relationship more on having a difficult time in their work environment.

Those employees who have gained to be their family gives some people looking sad in their heart.

In life we need to think there may be something better for them reason why they decided to leave their old employer.

I had purchase Nongshim Shin Ramyun Non-Frying at Wang Mart Quezon City through Grab Mart having no clue if it was mild or spicy flavor for PHP 73.00 ($1.46) not including handling and tip to the rider.

I cannot read the package due I don't understand Korean and there was no note when I was placing it in my basket for the indication all it said was Shin Non Frying Cup.

I went ahead and prepared the Nongshim Shin Ramyun Non-Frying by boiling the hot water from our kettle.



Pretty neat looking at how the dried noodles look inside being loose compared to other ramen noodles in an instant cup.


The orange packages is the dried vegetables, silver seasoning and clear sesame oil you will add the ingredients before adding the boiling water up to the line indicated inside the cup.



I was able to sample the Nongshim Shin Ramyun Non-Frying it was too spicy for me that I couldn't handle the taste. Ike claimed he loves eating spicy food. I gave it to him to eat for his dinner. Ike told me he couldn't believe how spicy it was the more he drank water the hotter it got in his tongue. I had mentioned it is better if you drink dairy product for example you love drinking milk tea the spiciest will remove from your mouth.


Even though it will be Ike's last dinner with us at least we have some memories left behind when he moves back to his hometown.
