Mie Sedaap - the best ramen noodle I've ever had

I feel like someone with too much time on her hand, blogging about some stupid ramen noodle =). Nevertheless, I decide to start my food blog with this one, cos even though I like fresh homemade food, this is one addiction to package food that I couldn't get over with.
I've had many kinds of varieties of packaged ramen noodles and this one is definitely my all time favorite. It's an indonesian soupless ramen noodle, with sweet and savory flavor.

Mie Sedaap is the brand, mie means noodle, and sedap means smells good or taste good.
They put an extra 'a' in sedaap to exaggerate that it's really taste or smell good, cos in indonesian when you stretch certain adjective when you say it, it means that you're adding 'very' to the word.

My favorite type is the mie goreng (goreng=fried), so this ramen is an instant packaged version of stir fried noodle. The javanese stir fried noodle I know have the similar sweet and savory flavor, and they use alot of the sweet soya sauce in cooking it, which is one of the key ingredient included in this ramen noodle.

The package came with 5 different spices you gotta mix, from left to right: fried onions, veggie oil, chilli paste, sweet soya sauce and seasoning powder (similar to msg, yumm... healthy!)
Instead of mixing these spices in the boiling water while boiling the noodle, you mix the oil, sweet soya sauce, msg and chilli paste separately in a bowl while you boil your noodle.
I personally like it non spicy, so I omitted the chili paste from the seasoning mix.
then after the noodles are boiled for about 3 min in boiling water, strain it, then mix it all together in the bowl with the seasonings and top it with the fried onion on top. I omitted the fried onion cos personally, I just like mine plain without it.

Hmm... look oily huh hehehehe, thats why it's included in this oily tasty blog

Not long after I finished eating it, I sometimes feel like crap, (probably because of the amount of msg mixed in this tiny portion of food) but unfortunately that doesn't stop me from insanely craving for it from time to time hehehe (they probably put some kind of addictive substance on the seasoning powder or somethin hehe)

I avoid eating it when I have a completely empty stomach and starving for something. I also avoid to have it for dinner, cos I would wake up the next morning starving and feel like crap lol.

Some of these mie sedaap I bought from the local supermarket in the US have a weird stale smell. Not sure if this is true or not, but someone told me that's because these ramens sit in the container in for too long on the way to the US. The packaging is so thin compared to one of those other imported ramen with a layer of alumunium on the inside part of the packaging to protect the ramen. So the thin pastic doesn't protect the ramen very well from the humid air or whatever it is on the way coming to america (eww... lol!)
That's why I don't buy them from the supermarket in the US anymore, I usually brought some of them in my luggage whenever I go back to indonesia to visit families.
