Re-Review: Indomie Mi Instan Rasa Mi Cakalang

Of the re-reviews I’ve done recently, I would say this is one of the most recent. Here’s the link for it’s first review, #858. Cakalang is also known as Skipjack tuna.

Finished (click to enlarge). I added some sweet onion, a fried egg with some Krazy Mixed Up Salt and Dua Belibis chili sauce. This stuff packs from heat! The noodles are your standard Indomie – nice texture and spring. The broth is spicy and has a nice tuna flavor along. There was a packet of garnish, which was dried tuna bits and was quite tasty. I like this a lot! 4.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 08968604302 .

Haven’t had an Indomie in a while! This one’s Cakalang. Cakalang is also known as Skipjack tuna. Been looking forward to this.

Powdered base and chili powder.

Here’s the chili atop of the seasoning powder.

You guessed it – seasoned oil!

A little bit of color.

What’s this?

Finished. Added onion, red bell pepper, broccoli, and a fried egg with Dua Belibis and Krazy Mixed Up Salt. The noodles are good – chewier than usual Indomie – and good!

I remember seeing this variety available years back and never getting it. Now I’m very stoked to be trying it! Let’s check it out! I’ve heard things… Read the interview I did with Indomie here!

Here’s the back of the package – sorry I couldn’t get a better scan.

The dry powders – seasoning powder on the left, chili powder on the right. I decided to skip the chili powder today.

Here’s the seasoning powder.

Seasoning oil and sweet soy sauce.

Decided I’d let them hang out in the same sake cup.

What’s this one?

Dried tuna!

So yesterday I ran out of the frozen store brand stir-fry mix. Today my wife and I went to Country Farms, a local produce outdoor produce market. Got red bell pepper, onion, broccoli, snap peas, jalapenos and fresno peppers. My wonderful amazing wife took everything and chopped em up and made a stir fry mix that is a thousand times better and cheaper, too! Thanks, Kit! You rock!

Finished. I added some of that awesome new veggie mix as well as a couple jalapenos. I also added one snowflake fried egg, some Huy Fong Striracha chili sauce, some Ajishima Salmon furikake and a little Krazy Mixed Up Salt. Well, the noodles were nice as always. The flavor is good except it was surprisingly spicy. I really didn’t expect that. Has a nice slightly tuna taste and was enjoyable. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 089686043716 .

Whoa – these things fly around crazy style!

Processing tuna.
