#802: Sarimi Isi 2 Mi Goreng Rasa Ayam Kecap

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!

#785: Sarimi Isi 2 Rasa Soto

Here’s another one sent by Meilina K. of 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!

The back of the packaging.

A piece of the noodle block.

Dry seasonings: base on the left and chili powder on the right.

Base with chili powder atop.

Seasoned oil.

Dark and a little murky!

Finished. Added a hard-boiled egg, some veggies, some roasted chicken, a little Ajishima Kimchi furikake, some kizami shoga (pickled ginger), some Melinda’s Garlic Habanero hot sauce and a pinch of Krazy Mixed Up Salt. Okay so the noodles were a little banged up during the voyage from Indonesia, but they’re still pretty good – Fluffy noodles. The broth has that nice salty and tasty lime taste that I’ve found in other Soto varieties. Good stuff! 3.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 089686017717 .

#776: Sarimi Isi 2 Rasa Kari Spesial

Here’s one of the new varieties sent by Meilina K. of 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.

Here’s the back of the packaging. Was a little tough scanning this one – sorry. Note it calls for 500cc of water – never have I seen an Indonesian variety call for so much water – unless it was to be drained off!

Here’s part of the noodle block. As these traveled from Indonesia, they had a couple bumps along the way. Did really good for the most part!

Seasoning powder on left and chili powder on the right.

Here they are with the chili powder on top.

Seasoned oil.

I have a feeling this is all going to be quite good!

Finished. Added some veggies – some big pieces of onions as well, and a couple fried eggs with Krazy Mixed Up Salt and Tabasco Buffalo Style hot saume on top. The noodles are very good – very fluffy and happy. The broth is great – has a nice curry flavor and a nice overall consistency. This stuff is perfect if you want a lot of curry noodles! 3.75 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 089686017724 .

Here’s a Sarimi Isi 2 commercial for a different flavor
