Review of instant dry noodles (Mee Goreng)

From left to right as listed below:

wpid-IMG_03582-2012-02-27-02-48.jpg

WingsFood Mi Sedaap

Price: $1.50

Spiciness: 8

Taste: 7

Noodle texture: 7

Condiments: 10

Interesting spicy taste, noodles tend to be a bit on the dry side, and the fried onion is awesome.

Date: 4 Mar 2012

Addendum on 24 Mar 2012: The white packaging one from the same brand is PERFECT on all counts.

wpid-IMG_0427-2012-02-27-02-48.jpg

Indofood Mi Goreng

Price: $1.70

Spiciness: 8

Taste: 10

Noodle texture: 9

Condiments: 5

I like the noodles, of just the right “chew” factor. One drawback is the lack of condiments. Although it’s not very spicy, it’s very delicious.

Date: 5 Mar 2012

Nissin Mi Bagus

Price: $1.75

Very bad. Very very bad. AVOID.

Koka Spicy Singapore Fried Noodles

Price: $2.35

Spiciness: 7

Taste: 8

Noodle texture: 7

Condiments: 5

Not bad, but not as tasty as the Indonesian brands.

Ibumie Mi Goreng

Price: $2.40

Spiciness: 6

Taste: 10

Noodle texture: 10

Condiments: 7

The noodles’ texture is perfect for me. The flavour of this is on the sweet side (but it’s not that sweet actually), and not spicy at all. Tasty. I’d say this overall ranks the same as Indofood Mi Goreng. But it’s more expensive.
