The phrase “we gon be eating good noodles everyday” is used ironically and humorously to describe a situation where someone is broke, struggling financially, or cutting costs, but still trying to stay optimistic or joke about it.
“Eating good” usually implies living well or eating fancy food, but the joke is that the “good food” is actually just instant noodles (ramen)—a food commonly associated with being poor, a student, or in survival mode.
So the humor comes from the contrast:
-
Big confidence / happy tone
-
Very low-budget reality
It’s basically saying:
“We’re not rich… but hey, at least we have noodles.”
