No, you're encountering the bias that $.15 ramen causes. And the HN bias towards pedantry (not always unfair).

15-cent ramen is crap everywhere that you can discuss a $50 steak dinner and $3/dozen eggs. The egg in your ramen, by those units, would have cost 25 cents alone, and is clearly excluded.




The ramen I had was 40 RMB, which...given that 1 RMB is .16 USD, is around 40 ramen units. They would never call ramen as fangbian mian here.
