Parasite Ram-don (짜파구리)
K-MovieParasite·The famous steak noodle scene
Why this food?
The rich + poor mashup noodle dish from Oscar-winning Parasite. Instant ramen elevated with steak.
🇰🇷 K-Culture Tip
짜파구리 mixes two real Korean instant noodle brands: Chapagetti (짜파게티, black bean) and Neoguri (너구리, spicy seafood). After Parasite won the Oscar, Ottogi reported a global sales surge for both products. The word 'Ram-don' was coined by the English subtitle translator — a portmanteau that stuck worldwide.
