Here’s another that was sent by my friend in Jakarta, Indonesia – thanks again! Next week, I’m starting up a new Meet The Manufacturer spotlight and so I thought I’d have something very different from what I’ll be sampling. Let’s give it a try!

#814: Indomie Beef Flavour Instant Noodles
Got this one ages ago – thought something mellow after the fiery onslaught I endured earlier. Beef. Let’s do this.
#810: ABC Selera Pedas Mi Goreng Hot Chicken Lemon Flavour
Yep – another new one from Indonesia that was sent by my friend in Jakarta! Thank you very much! I haven’t tried this brand’s noodles before, but I am familiar with ABC’s Kecap Manis (sweet soy sauce).
#807: SuperMi Mi Instan Super Rasa Ayam Bawang
Here’s another one from a friend in Jakarta, Indonesia! Thank you! So what is Rasa Ayam Bawang you ask? Simple: Garlic Chicken Flavor! Sounds awesome! Oh, but wait – when I translate onion to Indonesian it says bawang too. Uh oh – I’m confused. Can anyone make a comment as to this? It would be greatly appreciated! UPDATE – Just got the comment I was looking for:
#802: Sarimi Isi 2 Mi Goreng Rasa Ayam Kecap
#794: Sarimi Mi Instan Soto Koya Jeruk Nipis
Here’s another one that a friend in Indonesia sent – thanks again! Curious how this one will be; I translated it to what looks like Koya lime flavor soup.
#789: SuperMi Mi Instan GoKar Goreng Rasa Kari
Here’s another new one, sent by a friend in Indonesia! Thanks again! This looks interesting; a curry flavored mi goreng? I’m down with that!
#785: Sarimi Isi 2 Rasa Soto
Here’s another one sent by my friend in Indonesia! Soto I’ve had before has had a very nice lime flavor to it I very much enjoyed. Curious if this one will be the same. Let’s see!
#779: Indomie Mi Instan Mi Goreng Kriuuk Ayam (Crispy Chicken)
Here’s another new one sent by my friend in Indonesia – thanks again! This certainly is different – kriuuk? I couldn’t find a direct translation but here’s what Wikipedia said:
#776: Sarimi Isi 2 Rasa Kari Spesial
Here’s one of the new varieties sent by a friend in Jakarta, Indonesia – thank you! After trying so many Indonesian instant noodles, it looks like the flavors are almost backwards – Rasa means flavor, kari means curry and spesial means, well, special. Flavor curry special? Special curry flavor! It’s also a big pack and looks like it’s a soup. Well, let’s give it a try.
#774: Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Sup Sayuran Vegan
Today’s Father’s Day and me and the boy are going to have some noodles. He picked out this variety, of which I had two and hadn’t reviewed yet. He’s gonna have some kamaboko on his and I’m going to have some veggies in mine.
Amazing Donation From Indonesia
Today, a package arrived from Indonesia! It was send by a reader who went to a lot of trouble to ship these! Thank you very much!
#771: Wingsfood Mie Sedaap Instant Mi Kuah Rasa Ayam Bawang
Here’s one I got locally at a new Indonesian grocery here in town – Waroeng Jajnan! I can’t wait to go back there! This is onion chicken flavor – ayam means chicken and bawang means onion.
#765: Super Bihun Instant Rice Noodles Kuah
Here’s another one that was lurking in the bottom of the hamper! Been kind of wondering where it had gone – well, here it is! I must say this is my favorite logo ever – looks like a heart and a bomb, doesn’t it? Curious how this one will be. Let’s go!
#757: Indomie Mi Instan Mi Goreng Vegan
Here’s another of the Indomie varieties sent by Indofood. Vegan huh? Okay I won’t add any meat!
#734: Meet The Manufacturer – Indomie Mi Instan Mi Goreng Rasa Ayam Panggang Jumbo ( Local Version)
Here’s another Mi Goreng – this is the same as the Indomie Mi Goreng BBQ Chicken Jumbo we have here but it’s the one I was shipped by Indofood from Jakarta, Indonesia. I thought something that was interesting though was that ours is called BBQ chicken and the one in Indonesia translates to roast chicken. Anyways, let’s eat!
#733: Meet The Manufacturer – Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Soto Betawi Khas Jakarta
Some of you might be saying ‘hey it’s Thursday; didn’t Meet The Manufacturer week start on Wednesday last week?’ Well, yeah but I skipped two days of reviewing so gotta make those up – only fair. So here we have Soto Betawi. Wikipedia has this to say about it:
#732: Meet The Manufacturer – Indomie Curly Noodle With Chicken & Chilli Paddi

#715 Indomie Mi Goreng Rendang (Indonesian Import)
I couldn’t wait for Meet The Manufacturer: Indomie week to try this. It’s a nice day here in the low 70’s and this said ‘eat me,’ so I will. This was one of the ones sent to me by Susienta S. of Indofoods CBR in Jakarta, Indonesia! Thanks again – and let’s give this one a try! Hey wait a minute – maybe we should research this a little first. So. what I’ve heard is that Rendang is a spicy beef curry. Here’s what Wikipedia has to say about Rendang:
#693: Chewy Stir Rice Vermicelli Indonesian Gado-Gado Flavour

This is a real treat – this is one of the varieties not available in the United States and was kindly sent by Edwin N. of Vancouver, BC! Thank you again so much!
He sent six of them and so I will try one of them every once in a while so they last. I am a huge fan of Indomie’s products and so very happy about this! I
should also mention that I have been directly contacted by Indomie and they are going to be sending me many varieties that aren’t usually available – that
donation will come at some point in the future. For now though, let’s check out spicy coconut shrimp flavor soup!
Guest post on CBSoP.com!
I sent an email to Jerry at www.cbsop.com (which stands for ‘Cooking By The Seat of Our Pants) about doing a guest post. He was more than happy about it and here’s the post entitled, “The Gentle Art Of Making Indonesian Instant Noodles: The Finest Of The Fine.” Thanks again, Jerry!
#655: Cap Atoom Bulan Mie Telor Asli
Found this last week while looking for stuff to make my curry soup. Not something standard here; just noodles. But they’re fried noodles from Indonesia by the company that makes the Super Bihun. That rad looking bomb logo calls to me and so here we try Mie Telor Asli Cap Atoom Bulan.
#651: Wingsfood Mi Sedaap Mi Segera Mi Sup Perisa Kari Ayam
Yesterday I went to HT Oaktree Market on 100th & Aurora in North Seattle. I went to get some things to make a batch of my curry soup and of course hit up the noodle aisle. Was thinking of re-reviewing the Mi Sedaap curry I’d had before as well, but as it turns out, I snagged a new one I hadn’t reviewed yet. Then this morning, I noticed a lot of people coming to The Ramen Rater from a forum on a Singapore website – they were all coming because of a link to Mi Sedaap Perisa Asli, something I’d reviewed a while back. I thought I should review a new Mi Sedaap today, so here we go.
Re-Review: Indomie Instant Noodles Onion Chicken Flavour
Re-Review: Indomie Instant Noodles Mi Goreng Satay Fried Noodles
This is one of the samples sent by Empire International – thanks again to them and Jim C.! Many years ago, I tried this stuff. This was the first Indomie product I’d ever tried! I used to get tons of this stuff – my folks would bring it back to Anacortes from Seattle , a bit of a journey for noodles! All the packets, the draining, the eggs… This is where it all begand for me.
Re-Review: Indomie Special Chicken Flavour Instant Noodles
Here’s another re-review of Indomie. Special Chicken Flavor! Thanks go to Jim C. and Empire International!
Re-Review: Indomie Mi Goreng Fried Noodles
Yep – another re-review! But this one’s very special – i haven’t had this in a few years and I hope after reading and seeing, this stuff you’ll be ready and even dying to try it. This, my friend, is one of the finest instant noodle varieties I’ve ever had. Thanks to Jim C. for contacting Empire International, distributor of these and sending samples!
