This Noodle Brand from Indonesia have no TV commercials, No Billboard advertisements but its selling well around the world It is delicious and its one of the "stir fry" type of noodles, Its not a soup. Its garlicy, it has herbs and spices and its better than noodles that are soup based. I will even choose it over those spicy Korean Noodles. I heard Indonesians partner this noodle with fried egg. Its always sold out in my place and it has no single advertisement. Internationally it only have 2 flavors, original and spicy. In Indonesia, I heard it have 6 flavors and also have soup varieties. I buy the Made in Indonesia versions, Not the Localized for your country version.

Indomie is most popular brand than other noodle in Indonesia. Many brand others, and many flavors. You must try other flavors. But maybe not available on your country.

Indomie is the first noodle in Indonesia and I have tried other brands but I don't think anything can beat Indomie.

So you are not shocked with the international success? Other noodle brands try to make their own Mi Goreng. I wish they will export their soup noodles too.

@CaptAlbertWhisker The creator of the recipe is no longer there and they have experience traveling around the world, so I have no doubts about their success in making the taste popular in other countries too.

I just bought that today. Love how flavorful it is and always eat it paired with a sunny side up. I have tried their spicy and also their premium flavor, the salted egg.
