Here’s another from my friend in Jakarta, Indonesia – thanks! I’ve got high hopes for this one. Why? Well, the Spicy Chicken version placed on my Top Ten Instant Noodle Cups of 2013. Also, Indomie’s Rendang placed in the Top Ten Instant Noodles of 2013 list. I guess we’ll see how this does! Let’s check it out!
Here are the side panels (click image to enlarge). Looks to be meat-free but check for yourself. Take out the sachets and fork, add enough boiling water to cover the noodles and let sit for 3 minutes. Drain off the water, then add the sachet contents, stir and you’re done.

An included fork!
The noodle block.
A dual sachet: seasoning base and chili powder.
The chilli powder atop the seasoning base in the lower left.
Garnish sachet – fried onion and… dumpling? Interesting!
Tried one of the dumpling pieces – crunchy like a wonton.
Triple sachet of liquid ingredients: seasoned oil, chili sauce and sweet soy sauce.
Chilli sauce top left, sweet soy sauce top right and the seasoned oil throughout.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added lime, hard boiled egg, sweet onion and beef. The noodles come out nice after steeping. They have a standard gauge and good cgewiness. The flavor is great – sweet. spicy and beefy! Excellent stuff – and if it wasn’t good enough already, the garnish adds a really good finish to things. This was a real treat to enjoy. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.UPC bar code 8992388133178.
Indonesian Top 20 music.
Culturally apt music sounds like a great complement to ramen! I will try this. 🙂
