Mie Aceh consists of yellow noodles—often referred to as "kilo-sold noodles" (mi kiloan) because they are sold by the kilogram rather than in individual packages—cooked with a selection of spices characteristic of Aceh.
As we know, Acehnese noodles (mie Aceh) are very well-known everywhere; in fact, many people from Aceh sell these noodles in other regions—most notably in the cities of Jakarta and Medan.
What sets this dish apart is its signature Acehnese seasoning—a blend renowned for its rich variety of carefully selected spices, all ground together. This infusion gives the noodles a distinctively Acehnese flavor profile, and the moment you catch the scent of the dish being prepared, an incredibly fragrant aroma fills the air.
Sorry, I was out for a walk with my husband when I caught the scent of Acehnese noodles in that area.As soon as I headed home, I felt incredibly hungry; the aroma—just as I mentioned earlier—really whetted my appetite. So, we decided to stop at a place that sells Acehnese noodles and ordered two plates, with the addition of squid to make them even more delicious.

Actually, there are many other topping options available—such as crab, squid, various types of shrimp (including giant freshwater prawns), and all sorts of mushrooms—but we decided to go with just the squid.
Why did we choose squid? Well, we rarely ever add squid to our noodles—in fact, this might actually be the first time I’ve ever eaten noodles with squid! Hehehe.

Shortly after, we enjoyed some Aceh-style noodles topped with squid; I also added a squeeze of lime to give the dish a subtle tangy kick, along with some chili and tomato sauce.
And wow, it's true that Aceh noodles with the addition of squid will provide a more savory and naturally sweet taste sensation.

The broth is incredibly delicious—a deep, vibrant red—with a savory and spicy flavor. The blend of spices I mentioned earlier really comes through; it’s truly authentic Acehnese style. It’s been a very long time since I last had mie Aceh (Acehnese noodles)—usually, I just stick to instant noodles with basic seasoning.
and I think I will also like Aceh noodles with added squid and I think in the future I will also order it again Actually, this was my husband's idea, he said he was bored of eating shrimp noodles, egg noodles and fish noodles, he wanted to try a new sensation, namely noodles with added squid and it turned out that my husband's taste was really good and delicious, So I immediately liked it, but it's true that when my husband chooses food, most of the food will be delicious and I will also like it. Just like him.
Thank you 🙂🤗
