Got this one during my trip to Malaysia at the Chain Ferry Econsave in Butterworth, Penang. Today is March 5th, 2015 and Momofuku Ando would have been 105 years old today! It’s fascinating to me to think that I wouldn’t be doing any of this if he didn’t invent the instant noodle. Happy Birthday, Mr. Andi! This one however is an Indonesian brand called Salam Mie. The flavor translates to original spicy sambal. Let’s have a look at this variety by Salam Mie!
Here’s the back of the package (click image to enlarge). Looks to be meat free but check for yourself. To prepare, add noodle block to a pot of briskly boiling water for 3 minutes. While you wait, add contents of all sachets but the fried onion one to a plate and combine. Drain noodles and combine with seasonings on the plate. Sprinkle with the onion and enjoy!
The noodle block.
A dual sachet of dry seasonings.
The dry seasoning base.
Fried onions.
A triple sachet (from left to right): seasoning oil, chilli sauce and finally sweet soy sauce.
The three together.
Finished (click image to enlarge). Added kerapuk aci, hard boiled egg and shrimp with Megah Sari Original Sambal Bakso and BonCabe Level 3 chilli seasoning. The noodles are just as I expected – good gauge and chew. The flavor is really quite nice – this is the mi goreng flavor I love but with a very nice added kick thabks to the included sambal. Sweet, salty and spicy combined in a perfect trifecta. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.EAN bar code 8992731101533.

An older video about PT. Sentrafood Indonusa – makers of Salam Mie and their parent company, Medco.
Whoa, that’s a great classic Mie Goreng. The last time I ate those I think when I was in Elementary School.
It’s rare nowdays in Indonesia.
Oh my, you could find this in Malaysia? I have hard time finding this in Jakarta, I thought it was discontinued.
