It’s just occurred to me that some people don’t like Indomie because they’re adding the packet of spices to the cooking water, and drinking it as soup.

You’re supposed to drain the water, and add the spices to the cooked noodles. Eat it as a ‘dry’ flavored noodle. *

@chrisjrn yes I just.. unfortunately read someone talk about doing that
They were wondering why everyone liked it so much

@skinnylatte I was going to ask how it should be made (I've never had/made it) but, when I looked it up, they straight up give different instructions (mix spices with noodles after draining) so… yeah. That *would* be a whole different thing

If you can find domestic indomie (made for Indonesia) I would always choose that over the ‘export’ version too. The export version is like 1/5th the spice level
I used to live in a city (Jakarta) that had 24/7 Indomie cafes (AND really good other food). It’s just a religion out there
This is a really good podcast about Indomie and history

@griotspeak Nigerian Indomie is a soup! I believe, but I’ve not had it
Think it’s just a standard chicken soup noodle made for that market. Big there I think

@skinnylatte This must be the Indomie Mi Goreng

@gombang that’s the only one that is widely available in US / Europe
