There was a time when instant noodles (or 'Maggi mee') meant only noodles with soup.
Sure, it's fast to cook – but not very good to eat. The soup is always too hot and the taste is pretty bland.

My life would never be the same again.
I don't have to burn my mouth on the hot soup anymore. I don't have to wait for the soup to cool down.

The only caveat is that after eating the noodles, I would be thirsty for the rest of the week no matter how much water I drink.
The MSG can be a little overpowering if you use all the seasoning powder and soy sauce which come with the noodle. But if you don't use them all, it may not taste as good.
I used to enjoy my Mi Goreng with a can of spiced pork cubes and a hard-boiled egg that I would cook together the noodles. But then later, they doubled the price of spiced pork cubes. And so I stopped. Bastards!

It actually has its own Wikipedia page.
There have been imitators, other instant noodles without soup, but the original Indomie Mi Goreng is still the best. (The special 30th-anniversary five-pack is now selling at NTUC FairPrice for only $1.80 – down from the usual $2.40 – until next Wednesday. Don't miss out on the celebration.)
I rank it as the most life-changing food-related invention of the last century along with the microwave oven and 3-in-1 coffee.
Happy 30th anniversary, Mi Goreng!
