Satay BBQ Chicken Flavored Indomie Goreng (Hong Kong Version)

Satay BBQ Chicken Indomie Goreng - Hong Kong Version
Remember my #1 guilty pleasure, Indomie Goreng?
Hong Kong has its own version of Indomie Goreng...and although the Indonesian version is now available in most supermarkets, I couldn't help but wonder...how does the Hong Kong version taste like?

I've tried the Hong Kong version of Indomie Goreng "original" (yellow packaging), and it is different. The seasoning is relatively milder and the noodles are thinner and not as chewy.

This time, I'm trying the Satay BBQ Chicken flavored Indomie Goreng.

Yes, it is still a watered down version of the Indonesian one. The satay flavor's really mild, it's almost negligible...and it is not as garlicky and as "kicking" as the Indonesian version, it is also less oily. Maybe a touchhh healthier, but significantly less yummy, at least for me :D

From various local forums that SC reads, the Hong Kongers seem to like the Indonesian version more too...should they bother with a HK version?
Hello, Indofood?
Are you listening?

    I tried the Indomie Kari Ayam Malaysia version once, it was so much more spicy and 'kental'. It tasted good although I still prefer the Indo version :D

    I'm sorry this didn't meet your expectations! Bigger, bolder flavors are always better.

    At the halal store near my house, they sell Mie Asia brand which is produced by Indofood the Middle east branch.

    I was surprised since I recognized the name "Mie". The taste wasn't as good as the Indomie Indo version.

    I don't like mild versions. It reminds me of the spicy-level in the US. Whenever they say it is spicy, it is actually not spicy. LOL

    More often than not the authentic version always outshine the bastardized one!
