Ajinomoto – Japanese-Style Ramen & Chicken Fried Rice

Available at Costco: Japanese-style Ramen and Chicken Fried Rice by Ajinomoto.

You can prepare the rice in 3 minutes and the ramen in 4 minutes. They are excellent and tasty out of the box. You do not need to add anything more.

But, personally, I use those three minutes of cooking time to prepare something extra.

Below is how I prepare Ajinomoto Japanese-Style Ramen and Chicken Fried Rice. These are yummy and enjoyable. Let me show you.

Costco Logo T-Shirts are here

(Update: Review below)

Stop everything. This is it.
The Costco Logo t-shirts are here (link to the product page). They are also available in black.

4 years ago (2022), they had Kirkland Signature logo t-shirts for $14.99. I bought two of them and they sold out fast. Now they are $11.99 each. This time, I ordered three, and one for my friend.

They will sell out fast, trust me. Your size will disappear first. And you’ll have to wait another few years for them to come back. I am still waiting for a good looking Costco hoodie.

I would really like a stylish suede or leather jacket with a Costco logo on it. But. that’s unlikely.

If you are a Costco fan like I am, get this shirt and wear it at your Costco shopping. Life is fun that way

Good times.

Update (added April 13). I have received three shirts. They are adorable, and I will wear them on my next Costco shopping trip.

As I stated, Kirkland Signature T-shirts from 4 years ago were $14.99 each. The current shirts are $11.99 each. These shirts are cheaper because they’re made from thinner material. As a side effect, they can be see-through. When I wore them, my nipples were visible. Not a great look for a grown man. So, I’ll either wear something under or over the shirt. With that, I’m happy with my three shirts.

As an alternative, I could wear black shirts. Black shirts look hip and trendy. But that’s not me. I like the white ones better. White shirts look more legit, nerdy, and hardcore. It screams “Costco fan.”

John’s Big Update

My big update is just that. I got big. Hahaha!

When I’m at Costco, I am no longer torn between a hot dog and a pizza. I eat ’em both. Problem solved. I now weigh 164.5 pounds, the heaviest in my life. It’s almost the holiday season. So, I shall watch my diet starting in 2026. Everything is under control. I will lose 7 pounds, no problem. Hehehe.. Who am I kidding? I am in trouble.

Anyway, this is how I eat at the Costco food court. This is my ritual (40-second video). I use…

  • Hand wipe
  • Eating glasses (sometimes I bring a pair of computer glasses for a lark).
  • Hair band

The watch I am wearing is a Hamilton Khaki Field (used value $200 – $300). I found it at a garage sale for $10. I still enjoy garage sales.

I just watched my video. Oh my God, I am annoying. No wonder I live alone. 🙁

I am doing well. I will keep in touch. God bless everyone.

Question: 3 pieces of dark meat

I have a question about Popeyes chicken (and other chicken places):

If I order 3 pieces of dark meat, am I supposed to get two thighs and one leg, or two legs and one thigh?

If 100 customers each order 3 pieces of dark meat, do they all get the same combo, or is it just a random mix?

Is there an actual policy, or does the employee just decide?

When I order 3 pieces at Popeyes Chicken, I always ask for two thighs and one leg. But now they have kiosks taking orders, so I couldn’t request two thighs and one leg.

And boom—they gave me two legs and one thigh.
