Hey now this sounds good – chicken with soy sauce! Thank you to Meilina K. of Jakarta, Indonesia for thew donation!
Here’s the back of the package.
The noodle blocks.
Powdered seasoning and chili powder.
Here’s the seasoning powder with the chili powder on top.
Soy sauce and seasoned oil.
Here’s the content are in a bowl – as you can see, the oil and soy sauce separate.
Ah – the garnish!
Just figured it out – these are mixed veggies that get cooked in with the noodles.
Finished. Added a fried egg with some Huy Fong Sriracha chili sauce on top, some veggies, some baked chicken with Lindberg-Snider Red Baron BBQ Seasoning and a little kizami shoga (pickled ginger). The noodles themselves are quite good – not too chewy, not too weak. The flavor it nice – chicken and spicy with a hit of the sweet soy sauce. The veggie bits are kind of hard to find and not extremely impressive. Really tasty stuff! 4.5 out of 5.0 stars! UPC bar code 089686048704 .
This is the commercial for these tasty noodles!

Here’s another new one, sent by Meilina K. of Indonesia! Thanks again! This looks interesting; a curry flavored mi goreng? I’m down with that!
The back of the package.
Here’s the noodle block – this one traveled very well!
The dry seasonings: powdered base on left and chili powder on right.
Here’s the chili powder on top of the seasoning powder.
Fried onions on the left and oil with sweet soy sauce on the right.
This is fried onion – you sprinkle it on at the end – super tasty stuff!
Here’s the oil and soy sauce mixture.
Finished. Added a fried egg with some Huy Fong Sriracha hot sauce, chicken lunch meat, veggies, and some kizami shoga (pickled ginger). This one’s interesting. The noodles are good – a little chewier than what I’m used to in a mi goreng but no problem – they’re good! The flavoring is very curious; I’ve had quite a few Indonesian curry flavor instant noodles, but never a soupless noodle that was curry flavored. It works, although I find myself wanting for the soup! Nice, warm curry flavored broth is one of my favorite things. The fried onions are awesome – they add a nice little crunch! All in all, this is just another example of the fact that yes, after eating 788 different varieties of instant noodle, #789 and be fascinating and different. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars.

Here’s the commercial for this one and the other two – GoSo and GoBang
I got an email –
checkout this link that’s about an instant noodle stall in jakarta called Warung Indomie Abang Adek which sells the basic cheapest indomie flavour (ayam bawang or fried)but the unusual part is that they mixed it with lots of chilli paddi remember that review #732 ?u only have one dried chilli paddi in one packet that stall uses pounded 25 – 100 fresh chilli paddi for one packet of indomie crazy eh?
Holy cow! Crazy doesn’t even begin to describe – I was drooling from that single pepper, but that many would be insane. Here’s a video of that place. Thanks go to Wida from Indonesia for the info!
Today, a package arrived from Indonesia! It was send my reader Meilina K. who when to a long of trouble to ship these! Thank you very much!
Thankfully, this warning was heeded and the box was in great condition!
Pretty neat – there was almost a whole newspaper in here from Indonesia! Interesting to check out print from around the world!
Oh wow check this out!
Awesome! Wow look at all these! The only ones I’ve tried were the Indomie, but never these Kriuk varieties – wow! Thanks again! We’ll send you some Ramen Rater stickers soon!
Here’s a good one – this is the Indnesian local version of the first Indomie I ever tried – Satay. Curious if it’s any different.
Back of the package.
Noodles ready to be made tasty!
Seasoning powder on the left, chili powder on the right.
Here they are together.
The triple packet of wonder! From left to right: hot, sweet chili sauce, sweet soy sauce and fried onions.
This stuff is really good and you can get it in a big bottle at most Asian groceries – looks for Manis Pedas!
This is a really thick and sweet soy sauce – again an easy one to find but usually comes in a really big bottle. Luckily, it’s usually quite cheap. Look for Kecap Manis.
The fried onion is sprinkled on top and finishes it all nicely.
Finished. I added some corned beef, a little vegetable mix, a fried egg, a little kizami shoga (pickled ginger) and a touch of Krazy Mixed Up Salt. So according to the interview, I think this would qualify as ‘INTERNET.’ The noodles are awesome! They grab the flavorings so well and the taste is divine – although it’s a little sweeter than I remember. There is a tiny bit of heat though – it’s really quite excellent. The fried onions give it a really nice little crunch. I love this stuff – 5.0 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 089686011005 – get the US version here.
This looks really good – and it’s portable!
I’ve tried these things in the past – they have them here in the US at big Asian supermarkets.
Alrighty – I’m going out on a limb here, but I’m guessing this is going to be spicy stuff. Let’s find out! First off, what’s chilli paddi? Wikipedia says:
Bird’s eye chili or “Thai chili” (Thai: พริกขี้หนู, RTGS: phrik khi nu, IPA: [pʰrík kʰîː nǔː], literal: Rat dropping chili; Indonesian: Cabai rawit; Malay: Cili api or Cili padi; Tagalog: siling labuyo) is a chili pepper of the species Capsicum frutescens L. in the family Solanaceae, commonly found in Southeast Asia. It can also be found in India, in Meghalaya & in Kerela it is used in traditional dishes of the Kerala cuisine (pronounced in Malayalam as kanthari mulaguMalayalam: കാന്താരി മുളക്). This species (known as කොච්චි (kochchi) in sinhalese) is also found in rural areas of Sri Lanka, where it is used as a substitute for green chillies. It is also a main ingredient in kochchi sambal, a salad made using freshly scraped coconut ground with thai chillies and seasoned with salt and lime juice.
The term Bird’s eye chili is also used for the North American Chiltepin pepper, both due to their small round shape and because they’re widely spread by birds.
Okay – I’ve had hot sauce with these in it before – aye yay yay! Very hot. Let’s go for it!
Here’s the back of the packaging.
I really like the ‘special’ noodles – they’re a bit flatter than the usual.
Not many packets in this one – here’s the liquid seasoning…
There’s quite a bit of the stuff, too.
Here’s the veggie packet – very full!
See that red thing? Yep – that’s the chilli pepper!
Finished. I added a bit of the veggies we got from the local produce stand which my wife turned into a stir fry mix for me (thanks again, honey!), a half of a lime, a fried egg that I did up in a star-shaped cookie cutter with some Huy Fong Sriracha and a little Krazy Mixed Up Salt on top. Oh – and a bit of kizami shoga (pickled ginger) and beef. So what was the first thing I did? Yeah – I put that chilli pepper in my mouth. Oh man that’s some serious heat! That sucker means business! Only one of them though – although one’s enough for me – the heat lasted during the whole meal! The noodles were great and the flavor was sweet and spicy. This was good stuff! I can’t imagine if I hadn’t pulled that little pepper out and had found it at a random point. Good stuff – 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 089686040692 .
