Hello All.
So tell me, how many of you out there live on a staple diet of inexpensive foods like the infamous 2-minute noodles? Yep for a few years I was guilty in this regard and did whatever I could to shave a few cents off my food bill, obviously so I could go out, party and have some semblance of a life.
Those days are over and now I can at least afford to eat “real food” and not go bankrupt.
But for those of you who are still in this situation and have no escape, there is a silver lining…there is hope in the power of the true oriental quick noodle…in particular a company called Indomie.
Ok so I knock the 2 minute noodle diet, but in reality I am a true “noodle-son“, I love noodles in all shapes and forms, from tagliatelle to udon…I’m there like a bear.
Indomie is actually the biggest instant noodle manufacturer in Indonesia…which is saying a lot because that’s pretty much all they eat there.
Now where Indomie differs from good ol Maggi, is that Maggi gives you one solitary sachet with seasoning. In the case of Mi-goreng noodles from Indomie, they have 4 separate sachets.
1 with the flavoured seasoning, 1 with chilli powder, 1 for soy sauce and finally 1 with a special oil. When you mix all the ingredients you will firstly smell the difference as all the exotic elements of the aroma hit you like a very tasty tsunami.
Mi-goreng is special from some of the other flavours that are available, because instead of leaving the soup in with the noodles you strain off all the liquid and mix the ingredients in afterwards, interesting eh?
Theres also the Soto-mei flavour which has an awesome lime flavour to it, which is out of this world.
Another great thing about these superior noodles is that they cost the same or less than Maggi or any of the other no name brand instant noodles…so any way you look at it…YOU WIN.
Strangely enough I found Indomie at my local SPAR, but if you struggle, head down to the oriental market or most Chinese stores, they are likely to have it or know where you can get it.
So to all you guys and girls out there on a budget or doing the student thing, do yourself a favour and try these out, you will thank me 
Duncs.
