Country of Origin: Indonesia
Bought at Super Oriental Market
It's been a little while since the last update. I started going back to school so less time for ramen. Not to say I probably won't be eating more of it since that's what you do when you're in college. Anyway, here's an Indomie noodle I haven't tried yet and theirs are usually pretty dang good so of course my hopes are high. Here goes!
Pretty standard Indomie package. Chili powder, spices, and BUMBU sauce!! The secret's in the bumbu. I have no idea what soto mie is or what it may taste like but only one way to find out!
OK, so looks pretty standard for Indomie noodles. Upon the first taste I was attacked by a barrage of salt and lime, so I've dubbed this the Margarita of noodles. Just add tequila!
Seriously, though, these are quite possibly the saltiest noodles I've ever eaten. They taste kinda like the Kalamansi flavor Pancit Canton I tried a while back, but these are just flat out not as good... in fact there is just too much salt in these to the point where it makes them not good at all. The Lucky Me noodles would beat these hands down any day of the week. Less salt would make these passable, but I have to say I'm kinda disappointed in Indomie for these. 3/10.
hello! i just happen to find your blog and i'm so excited to read your review about indomie. however, in this particular post i think you serve the noodle in the wrong way (based on the last picture).. you see, 'soto mie' is one of our traditional soup dish (originated from the bogor region, west java province), therefore this indomie 'soto mie' flavour suppose to be a soup base 'ramen'. so without pouring the broth along with the noodle, no wonder if the taste is waaaaay too salty! :)
ReplyDeletethat said, i hope you can try it again next time with a proper way of serving of course.. ^-^v
thank you so much for your appreciation & enjoy your ramen tasting!
greetings from indonesia,
de.
yes, judging from the picture it's pretty obvious that you didn't prepare the food properly.. you shouldn't have drained the water!
ReplyDeleteHahaha, yeah, u did it the wrong way man. It had to be served with the broth, the 1st reply has explained all, so read the cooking instruction carefully next time.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, still makes me laugh imagining what u did with that indomie Soto, hahaha
OMG! It's supposed to be a soup hahaha...
