A total of 27.030 creative recipes were submitted from all over Indonesia. From adding  various toppings to infusing Indomie with local and international cuisines, the recipes were widely varied and resulted in attractive one-of-a-kind tastes.” The application rounds started from 23 January to 23 April 2017 through digital, PO BOX and on-site means during the roadshow in 4 major cities, Medan, Yogyakarta, Malang, and Makassar. 

 

The top five recipes are Indonesian-style-Croquembouche from a contestant in Padang, Indomie Sunny Pie from Jakarta, Chicken Onion flavored Indomie and Papaya Leaves Buntil from Semarang, Milkfish-stuffed Indomie (Bandomie Goreng) from Bandung, and Noodle Ketupat with Prawn Sauce from Pontianak. In the Grand Final held in Bandung, #IndomieUniqmiefinalists are asked to cook on the spot in two Great Cook-offs. 

 

In each session, the finalists with their teams will cook and serve 100 portions of their Indomie creations to the judges and visitors. Apart from menu creativity and taste, the judges will also evaluate presentation skills and teamwork,” Julia explained as one of the judges. The panelists include Nicky Tirta, the celebrity known as Home Chef and the brand ambassador for #IndomieUniqmie. The judges will determine the first, second, and third winners with the first and second runner-up. The crowd favorite will be chosen through voting from the visitors. The total prize amounts to Rp 300 million.

For lucky visitors, there is a chance to join Meet and Greet and photo session with Nicky Tirta.
