With the absence of Lucky Me Pancit Canton, Indomie Mie Goreng became emergency survival food among overseas Filipino workers here in Saudi Arabia. When someone suddenly got broke but payday is still days away and the food prepared by the company cafeteria is just not the most enticing thing to eat for dinner (which happens almost everytime), a pack of Indomie mie goreng will save the day.

Just by knowing its name, I knew Indomie came from Indonesia but I never thought that Indomie, the company that manufactures the noodle brand, to be the world’s largest instant noodle manufacturer until I post a photo of it on Facebook and some of my online friends from Canada, New Zealand and other far away lands start commenting about Indomie being the top selling noodle brands in their adoptive countries.

Beat that Nissin Yakisoba!
