Indomie is... fine, I guess. The packet of fried onions is a nice touch, but after all the hype by people describing the brand like it's a life-changing product, my experience with it was kind of disappointing. The flavor is different (in a good way) but it lacks depth, and by the end of my first bowl I was wishing for some good old Nongshim instead. It's on my list of noodle brands that can be made satisfactory with copious amounts of protein and veggies but are too boring to eat on their own.

I mean, if someone who only had Maruchan or Maggi soup-based instant noodles tried Indomie Goreng they'd get mindblown because the taste profile is really different. But from someone who has tasted a lot of Asian cuisine before they'd be 'oh, so it's like this?'.
Not to mention, their portions are SMALL so you definitely need to add some toppings to them. My mouth is a tad big so I can fit an American-standard jumbo-sized hard-boiled chicken egg and swallow it with a gulp, and one packet of instant noodles equals one mouthful to me. Without overloading on sodium for the rest of the day by eating two packs of instant noodles, I can only add maybe one sunny side-up and some boiled spinach.
