Why Koreans’ Spice Scale Is Kinda Weird = Shin Ramyun

Why Koreans' Spice Scale Is Kinda Weird = Shin Ramyun

One of the funniest things on my Korea trip was how almost every restaurant menu had a spice level guide… and it was always based on Shin Ramyun.

I’d be eating spicy food with Korean friends and say

me: this is really spicy

them: it’s just Shin Ramyun level though?

It happened so many times lol. Apparently Shin Ramyun is their baseline for “normal spicy.”

So now I’m curious. Where does Shin Ramyun fall on your personal spice scale? Mild? Average? Actually spicy?

For me it’s definitely spicy but not “kill me” level.
