I recently tried the Indomie Mi Goreng 80 g pack as a convenient meal option. As soon as the noodles are drained and coated in the multiple sachets—dry seasoning powder, oil, sweet soy, chili powder, and fried shallots—they present a familiar flavor: lightly sweet, oily, and savory with a hint of MSG-driven umami. At around 380 kcal per serving, the dish is relatively filling, thanks to carbohydrates and fats, with a moderate protein level of ~7 g (Indomie).

Texture is straightforward: thin fried noodles soak up the sauces well, creating a slightly slick, chewy bite. The seasoning oil imparts a noticeable sweetness and onion aroma, while the sweet soy and chili powders add layers of complexity. Although the chili is mild by default, many users recommend adding more spices or hot sauce to suit personal preference (Reddit, Reddit).
Reviews vary by region. Some find the flavor profile underwhelming without additions: “taste was quite mild umami… had to put salt many times” and “base flavor is just salty and MSG” (Reddit). Others champion it as a quick staple: “This version is way tastier than the ‘hot and spicy’… Flavor is ridiculously good” and many consider it their favorite instant ramen, praising customization potential with eggs, green onions, or kimchi (Reddit).
For people who enjoy building on a base flavor, it shines: a simple fried egg, a few sliced chillies, or a dash of vinegar or sesame oil can elevate it significantly. Straight out of the pack though, it can feel overly salty or bland depending on one’s palate and sensitivity to MSG (Reddit, Reddit).
Given its global reach—sold from Europe to Africa and Asia—and its long-standing popularity since launching in 1982, it remains a cultural icon in instant noodles (Wikipedia, Indomie). It’s also affordable and easily found in many markets, including in Pakistan where it’s commonly enjoyed by students and busy professionals seeking a quick meal option .
In summary, Indomie Mi Goreng 80 g is a no‑frills, quick‑prep noodle that delivers consistent sweet‑umami flavor and mild spice. It provides a versatile base for personalization, works well in emergencies or as a snack, and remains one of the most recognized instant noodles worldwide. But if you don’t plan to enhance it with extra toppings or spice, you might find it either too salty, too mild, or simply average.
