This is a short story on how I mess up my delicious noodles.

It was a normal day in the office when I take a short break to eat noodles.

I open it up to see the noodles and its various seasonings.

I quickly look at the symbols for the cooking-instruction reference.

Here’s the first instruction:

So, Step 1 is poke the lead with a fork…

…then open up the seasonings.

And mix them with the noodles.

It begin to feel like this is a cooking lesson. But it’s not.

Now for step 2.

Pouring in hot water to my noodles. We’re starting to cook.

Okay, so let’s close the lid, keeping it there for a while to get cooked, and wait for further instructions.

Commencing step 3!

Drain it baby! Drain it!

And just like you peeing, there is always a little bit more.

There you go.

Now, let’s open it up to see the beauty of the noodles.

Appetizing!

Now for the final step:

Add the seasoning and mix.

…

…

…

What?

Did you say ‘add the seasoning’?

What the heck is step 1?

Looking back at the symbols curiously:

Step 1 and 4 both added the seasonings.

So where did I made my mistake?

Step 1 says add only the garnish.

My goodness.

I got no choice but to eat the finish product in a not-so-properly-cooked form.

And that is how I mess my noodles.

Don’t be deceived by symbols. Read the instructions.

Until then, see you in my next post.
