[edit] Not to consume with coke?

[edit] IndoMie

Why the hell does everyone think it's a capital M? Okay, if you look on the packet, it's ambiguous, but here, look on their own site: http://www.indofood.co.id/content/index.asp?fuseaction=list_artikel&venue_id=050501&topic_id=1&enter_date=2/25/2005%202:03:32%20PM There, now can we fix all those capital M's? *is annoyed that he can't TinyURL that*

Also, I just added the BBQ Chicken flavour, it seems that they've just released it recently.

As a side note, these noodles rock. Satay FTW.

  • I've done a quick replacement of all such instances. Hopefully that's satisfactory! - Seraphidel  [話] Talk  09:15, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 203.51.180.97's haiku poem

Mate, I'm sure your poem was fantastic but I think they might have thought that it doesn't belong in the actual wikipedia article.

Most of this stuff doesn't belong in a wikipedia article. What the hell is rancho relaxo? LPS 14:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm going to assume it's in reference to a location, though as I've been unable to dig up anything on it, it's probably safe to assume it's fairly obscure. I've contemplated removing the section on the 'Mi Goreng Challenge' altogether, as it seems limited to a relatively small group of individuals. Any thoughts? --Seraphidel 01:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Facts

I don't have a packet avaliable right now. The 3 flavour sachets and cooking instructions might need to be reworked.

[edit] Image added

The image is poor quality at the moment - a better quality one will be added in due course. Formatting (i.e. placement) is currently poor. I have no time to work out how to fix this at the moment. Please someone palce it in a better location.

[edit] Spelling and Grammar

There are quite a few spelling and grammatical errors on this page.
Someone might want to fix it when they have the time.

I fixed most of them; there might be a few lurking around. 60.224.48.152 04:18, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I can't believe there's actually an article for this on Wikipedia

Really. This article is the best thing ever. - Nova Prime 10:26, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yes, it's actually here

It's truely a worthwile exercise. I didn't know that you could get Mi Goreng outside Australia and Asia. I want go hungry next time I travel. : )

I'm interested how people are stumbling accross it.

[edit] Moving of page

Because I was silly and forgot that Wiki truncates excess information when it comes to notes in history, I'll reiterate why I've chosen to move the page.

The term 'Mi Goreng' refers to the 'traditional' fried noodles, rather than IndoMie's rendition of the aforementioned. I've moved the article in the interest of Wiki's naming conventions ('Mi Goreng' should be left for an article regarding the dish in question.)

Feel free to raise any questions or complaints.

Cheers,

[edit] Best Wiki Page Ever

I just put a 65g packet in my bag, and thought why not wiki Mi Goreng? I'm please to find many people out there appreciate the delicious flavour and satisfying aroma that Indomie is producing, and on a budget too. I find the article a little biased, but thats okay, Mi Goren IS very good.


[edit] Good work

This article is fantastic! cant believe theres actually a wiki on meegs!!! However, the unofficial cooking ideas are not necessary, migoreng is to be eaten naturally. The only variation is trying a 3 migoreng mayhem meal - consisting of 3 of everything..in the one bowl. Anyone else think theyre might be crack in it? cos im addicted. Also, an alternative method of consuming miggidy giggidy is raw - uncooked noodles with the seasoning on it...sounds weird but its bloody nice.

[edit] Removal of unofficail cooking instructions

I agree the unofficial cooking instructions should be removed they don't really add anything to the encyclopedic standing of the article.

I'll remove them and put them in here to either be moved into the cook book or just referenced.

[edit] Mi Goreng Challenge

What ever happened to the Mi Goreng challenge section in here. I live in St Lucia and i wanted to have a go at it. Then, after successfully completing it, die of cardiac failure - these things are poison.

Delicious poison......... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.148.122.154 (talk) 13:19, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Quality

This article really needs to be cleaned up. Itreads like a free advert for the company and it doesn't meet encyclopedia quality by ANY stretch of the imagination, particularly the intro (does that make sense?). Witchbaby 04:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree with WitchBaby.
This article is nothing more than an advertisement for a cheap food product.
Even on the level of information regarding the product, it can be seen to be suspiciously full of recipe advice and lacking in any verifiable data.
For example: "It is suggested that leaving the noodles to cure uncovered allows some dehydration to occur which further concentrates the taste. This phenomenon is rare, as most are predisposed to consume their Mi Goreng as soon as it is prepared."
Yeah, yeah. Piss off, Salesman. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gaian-Orlanthii (talk • contribs) 05:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I believe this article should be cleaned up too. There are much unverifiable info or rumors. However, I don't believe that they are the work of salesmen. There are a lot of anonymous editors, whom I believe have good intention but are not aware of wikipedia standards. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 01:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

It could be cleaned up, but it's really no different than Frank's Red_Hot, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Crystal Hot Sauce, & Texas Pete. No excuse, but heaps of precedence. 58.162.2.122 13:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I rewrote parts of it to make it less "advertisy" I've also written a short entry on the Indomie brand as well. PatGund 22:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Health aspects

I eat this product but am concerned of its detrimental health aspects. Can someone please add some constructive information as to the carcinogins associated with the additives and enhances. Regards. (mim1122)

[edit] Packet Colors

I'm out of ramen. I'M OUT OF MY PRECIOUS RAMEN ;_; My local store won't get more mi goreng pedas for a couple weeks, so I was forced to buy some other flavors. Must have ramen. I noticed the packets had different colors per flavor, at least in America:

  • 'Original' Mi Goreng (blue)
  • Mi Goreng BBQ Chicken (unknown)
  • Mi Goreng Pedas (spicy) (pink)
  • Mi Goreng Rasa Baso Sapi (beef meatball flavor) (unknown)
  • Mi Goreng Rendang (orange)
  • Mi Goreng Satay (brown)

Are these colors accurate around the world? If so, would this be relevant information to include on the page?
