#089 INDOMIE Mi Kocok Bandung
This flavor was delicious! And it’s not Ayam (chicken) ! I had no idea what Kocok Bandung flavor was so I did a bit of internetting and found that it’s a beef noodle soup from the Bandung area. Kocok means “shaken noodles” if anyone’s interested.
Followed the cooking instructions: Cook noodles separately and dump soup and noodles into the bowl with seasoning. I actually made this incorrectly as you can see below. I strained the noodles and didn’t add any of the water. Did not realize this was a soup noodle dish until I took my first bite and a jolt of sodium surged through my tongue… Wowzers! Went to check the packet again and saw the picture of SOUP noodles. Added some water from my hot water dispenser and wah lah…fixed. This flavor was really yummy, had a strong lime flavor that was very complimentary. I am a sucker for any and all noodle dishes that have lime.
#087 MI ABC Selera Pedas Rasa Gulai Ayam Pedas
So Rasa Gulai Ayam Pedas translates into: Hot gulai chicken flavor. I had no idea what Gulai is so I did some internetting and found that Gulai is a type of Indonesian food with a spicy, rich and curry-like sauce. Yummy.
Indonesian instructions are to add the noodles to the seasoning vs the other way around. I’m curious as to why, what’s the difference?
The finished product. I poached an egg in the water after I took the noodles out. Had leftover chive which came in handy. I enjoyed this flavor. It lives up to the flavor description of Gulai I found on the internet. Definitely tasted like Curry with some spice which was mild.
#085 INDOMIE POP MIE Mi Goreng Spesial
YESSS, Mi Goreng in a cup! BEST. INDOMIE. NOODLES. EVER. Why isn’t this available in the states?
LOVE the built in strainer. Awesome idea! I said, AWESOME! A quick flip after the noodles are cooked and wah lah! Strained noodles.
Another thing that I’m finding very super awesome are the liquid sauces. love the easy mix.
#064 MAMA Green Tea Tom Yum Flavor
Ahh…another tasty noodle treat from Mama. First of all the noodles are not very green, in fact the finished product with the soup is more orange. Also, I didn’t really taste the green tea flavor maybe because it was masked by the spice! Yes! It was spicy – enough to make my lips tingle a little. I guess it’s not that surprising that the noodles had the same texture, shape and size as their other noodle flavors. The soup flavor tasted like a light, spicy tomato soup – sour and a little sweet with a punch of spice. Portion size is great for a snack, so I recommend for all the hungry men (and women) to make two packs! All in all, very yummy – MAMA hasn’t failed me yet.
