Cup Noodle Review: Maggi Hot Cup - Goreng Asli

So, 3 years after Nestle discontinued my favourite Maggi Hot Cup flavour, they released a similar flavour in 2025: the Maggi Hot Cup Goreng Asli!

Is this the return of my comfort cup noodle?

The moment I saw it in the supermarket shelves, I immediately bought a couple to try it out!

Preparation instructions

Its contents. (Also, I got a cute yellow Maggi mee mug!)

Its preparation is the same as other dry Maggi Hot Cup noodles in the past, where you drain the water after cooking the noodles, and add the seasonings before serving. 

Cook the noodles and drain the water.

Add the seasoning powder.

Add the seasoning oil and sweet soy sauce.

And mix it aaaall together!

And like previous dry Maggi cup noodles, I like to add a soft-boiled egg and a few dashes of paprika/cayenne pepper at the end for more substance.

Yummy~

So how does the Goreng Asli compare to the (now discontinued) Goreng Cili Fiesta?

The taste of the Goreng Asli is similar but a little different, like a less sweet version of the Goreng Cili Fiesta. It's not too spicy, but it's also a little more sour compared to the Goreng Cili Fiesta. This is a different noodle, but still tasty nonetheless.

Although I miss the flavour of the Goreng Cili Fiesta, the Goreng Asli is good enough to fill that void/craving. It's found a place as one of my comfort instant noodles alongside the Maggi Hot Cup Kari with Milo powder. 

The runny egg yolk with the noodles is always so goooood!

I hope that this flavour stays for a while. I don't want to have to lose another flavour I like. ;v;
