When instant noodles were first introduced to the Indonesian people in 1969, many doubted that instant noodles could be used as a staple food.

However, because instant noodles themselves are relatively affordable, easy to serve and durable, Indomie is growing rapidly along with the acceptance of instant noodles in Indonesia.

The first Indomie product introduced was Indomie Chicken Broth Flavored Kuah which at that time was in accordance with the tastes of the Indonesian people's tongue. Then in 1982, sales of Indomie products experienced a very significant increase with the launch of the Indomie Chicken Curry Flavored Chicken variant.
