A big thank you to Pher Engi for sending these along! I’m getting really low on varieties to review at this point – I’ve been doing four reviews a day lately and have been trying to do so all the way up to my kids going back to school. Twenty days to go until they’re back! They’ve had a lot of fun this summer, but they miss their friends from school of course. So – what is cakalang? It’s skipjack tuna. Many years ago, you could easily find an Indomie variety here (among others you can’t anymore) which mentioned skipjack tuna flavor. Let’s give this one a try.
Indomie Mi Goreng Rasa Cakalang – Indonesia
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Unsure, but may contain fish – check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodle for 3 minutes and drain. Add in sachet contents. Finally, stir and enjoy!
The noodle block.
A dual sachet – on the left seasoning and fish floss, on the right chili powder.
A dual sachet – looks like sweet soy sauce and seasoned oil.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added coriander, sesame seed, crushed red pepper, egg, fried onion, and Chabe sambal sauce. Noodle is good – standard gauge methinks. The flavor is a nice smoky tuna with a little sweet and spicy along for the ride. All in all quite good. 4.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 089686043716.
