It's still very hot in the summer here for us, but once things get cold Ramen is a favorite among my family and friends for exactly the same reason - warm and cozy comfort food! The meal and vibe looks awesome, glad you enjoyed!
Summer days are nice but it could be inconvenient when it gets too hot. It's awesome to know that one of your family's comfort foods is Ramen :) It seems to be a common favorite.
It wasn't as popular in the US as I was growing up, but over the past 10 years it seems to be everywhere now!
It's the same here. This decade seems to have brought a lot of things to our places :)
