Keep it crisp for bite

WHEN it comes to the crunch, instant noodles are a safer bet than men.
There is no concrete evidence, (it may just be an old wives' tale), to prove that eating instant noodles too often can cause hair loss.
But a series of bad dates can make you tear your own hair out.
Granted, a sedate Friday night dinner of instant noodles in front of the telly is not exactly exciting.
But you can always spice things up with that tiny packet of seasoning.
Compare this with a dull date who is blander than plain boiled noodles.

Sprinkling salt and pepper over his head, no matter how tempting, will not add flavour to the insipid conversation.
It is an option though, if you want a quick end to a dreary date.
In truth, good things don't often come pre-mixed in a bag.
Nutrition and romance require some measure of patience and effort.
Why settle for flaccid noodles or languid men? Deep fry your noodles.
Turn up the heat. Just don't burn your dates into a crisp.
