To be honest, after having tried GENUINE Nasi Goreng, I must say the promotional hype is on par with the national average B.S. rating of food products. From the half-advertised-size burgers, to the lasagne pulp meals, there is a definite level of over-exaggeration when it comes to the visual representations of the enclosed foodstuffs.
This is, sadly, another subscriber to that doctrine. With it's frankly scary-coloured rice, and it's hidden assortment of veges buried at the bottom in a single, stubbornly frozen lump, despite over-cooking, this was quite a disappointing dish.
The recommended cooking time was 4-5 minutes. After the full 5 minutes at 1100w of full power, the dish still contained a sizable block of ice, containing much of the rice and almost the entire compliment of vegetables and meat-bits. It took a good stirring and a further 4 minutes of full to finally have a thawed-and-cooked meal... creating a skin of crusty, hard rice on top, which had to be lifted free (in a single solid ring I might add) and disposed of.
Overall, the final taste was somewhat bland, and the surplus of rice left it a somewhat texture-challenged meal. I don't forsee me buying this again. Or if I do, I think I will partially thaw it first, to minimise over-nuking it. Despite being filling, it left me rather unimpressed.
Random listing from 'Food'...
Sweet and sour chutney is a delicious condiment with spring rolls, samosas, chips, crackers, samosas, pakoras, dahi vadas, bhelpuri and any kind of chat. This is also delicious as a dipping sauce for French fries and as a spread over crackers.
Just a dash of this stunning sweet and sour chutney blend spruces up almost all chaat recipes enhances the flavour by leaps and bounds making it a key factor for complete chaat experience. This zesty sweet and tangy dip recipe calls for the use of tamarind, jaggery and roasted cumin powder. Its taste is absolutely lip-smacking.
