I don't ever want to know.
There are quite a few western-looking folks pouring soy sauce into Pho. I've seen enough of those in Central Texas.

I guess you are very used to "heavy" taste than I. Lucky you.
Do you know how bad can over-salted blue crabs get? What a waster of food! I simply can't swallow over-salted food,
not even with gallons of water.
When I was in the States, I could hardly find a chip that's not too salty for me. What's acceptable is 2% to 3% sodium. Even for fries from fast food joints, I often see too much salt on them and my taste buds agreed. As for restaurants, it depends. I am always in shock when seeing Americans adding more salt to the food that I think had been properly seasoned.
But I digress. This thread is about Ramen and its popularity.
