What is it?

ABC Instant Noodle (Fried/Mie Goreng) Spicy Beef is an Indonesian-style stir-fried noodle dish from PT. ABC President Indonesia, a company under Taiwan's Uni-President group . This 80g pack features a "Mi Goreng" (fried noodle) style, meaning it is prepared as a dry noodle dish rather than a soup . The name "Selera Pedas Nampol" translates to "spicy taste that hits hard" in Indonesian . The product comes with three seasoning components: a seasoning powder with artificial beef flavour and gulai spices, a flavour oil containing onion, turmeric, and lime leaf, and a separate chilli oil packet . It is Halal certified and contains approximately 400 calories per serving .

When to use it?

These noodles are perfect for busy individuals who crave a bold, spicy meal with authentic Indonesian street food character. They are ideal for quick lunches, after-work dinners, or late-night snacks when you want something more exciting than plain noodles . The "nampol" (hits hard) spiciness makes them especially appealing for those who enjoy a fiery kick—though reviewers note the heat is more about flavour intensity rather than extreme burn . They are also a great choice for customisation, as you can add fried eggs, vegetables, or meat to create a more substantial meal .

How to use it?

Preparing these dry noodles is quick and straightforward. Boil the noodle cake in water for approximately 3 minutes until tender . Drain the water completely—this is essential for a dry noodle dish . Add the seasoning powder, flavour oil, and chilli oil packets to the drained noodles and toss thoroughly until the flavours are evenly distributed . The product comes with two chilli oil packets: a larger one containing flavour components, and a smaller one dedicated purely to heat. If you are sensitive to spice, you can adjust the heat by using only the larger chilli oil packet . Serve immediately and enjoy.

Why is this better?

ABC Spicy Beef stands out for its authentic Indonesian flavour profile and heat customisation. Unlike many instant noodles that offer one-dimensional spice, this product delivers a complex blend of gulai spices (turmeric, onion, garlic), lime leaf, and beef flavour that creates a satisfying depth . The noodle texture is notably thick and bouncy, described as having a "solid presence" that never turns mushy . The separate chilli oil packets give you control over the heat level—you can go all-in for bold intensity or add just a splash for a milder experience . As an Indonesian brand dating back to 1991, ABC has become "a trusted name in Southeast Asian cooking delivering authentic, globally inspired flavours" .

Comparison with in-line products

Longdan stocks multiple ABC Instant Noodle variants, with the key distinction being soup versus fried (Mi Goreng) style . This Spicy Beef 80g is the fried style with a thicker, chewier noodle texture compared to soup-style versions . Within the Mi Goreng range, there is also Spicy Chicken, Original (Chicken), and Cheese Buldak variants . The Spicy Chicken uses synthetic chicken flavour, while Original offers a classic savoury base with sweet soy sauce and chilli sauce—making it a more familiar, less adventurous choice . The Cheese Buldak incorporates cheese powder and milk for a creamy-spicy fusion experience . Compared to other Indonesian noodles in the Longdan range like Indomie, ABC is praised for its "deep, slightly spicy, and umami-rich flavours" that appeal to both nostalgia seekers and urbanites who love Asian street food .
