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.
awesome blog man! you are def the go to guy when it comes to noodles!
love that packaging
when i was in ASIA everything was bright and cheerful
haven’t visited Japan yet but heard that is the ultimate in cheerful packaging
LoL thanks mark dude.
yep gotta keep everybody informed on the uber noodles of the world.
Yep Eric, I’ve seen some serious Japanese packaging…they love to add a bright colors to everything.
Will have to blog about another variant soon
Yah E - U and I are definitely hitting Japan sometime soon!
I went thu this phas where all I was eating every day was Udon noodle dishes, white rice and all that jazz - but I cooked them myself Asian style.
I had this Magic girlfriend at the time who taught me her Asian secrets - yes D, the secrets would be and now are MINE!!!! BWAHAHAHAHHA!!!! - and I can now cook up some serious Asian stormage. Especially rice bro - making rice the right way is a skeel - I can’t stand crap sticky rice.
But… The odd thing is that I have never tried these ready-made Asian noodle delights - gotta say.. I am very curious now D.

Errrr.. I don’t think this is true. I am Indonesian and there are a lot of other good stuff to eat there
But yes, we love Indomie so much! When I was little, people like Supermie more. Sarimie is also VERY tasty, I think the taste is richer than Indomie. These brands are all manufactured by Indofood. I don’t know why they sell 3 brands that compete with each other. Anyway, do you know that we put everything in our Indomie, from cheese, corned beef, chilli, seaweed? It’s awesome! Try it! 
ah i love these noodles, they are my fave
me and my friends have them every friday after school ha
LoL so why only on Fridays eh Holly…Indomie is an any day snackaroo
Fie thanks for that, I was under the impression that it was…but hey broken telephone information can more often than not bend the truth LOL.
I’m always on the hunt for new yummy indo noodles…will see if i can hunt down some Sarimie and Supermie
Yeah man these noodles are the shit. I can’t get enough of ‘em.
Hi Duncan
Could you perhaps advise at which Spar you did manage to find these noodles at - gotta admit these are about the best I have had in terms of 2 minute noodles - Tried them in Australia and NZ
Fab Stuff - really do hope I can get my hands on some if anyone knows where in SA - Gauteng
