The Viral ComplexCon Noodles Have Landed at Every Boiling Crab® in America

The Boiling Crab x Indomie Mi Goreng Shabang Noodles racked up 10,000+ orders in two weeks, before the menus even hit the tables. Available for a limited time.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, November 10, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Boiling Crab^® and Indomie have mashed up their greatest hits into the Mi Goreng Shabang Noodles, and America is eating it up. Fans got a sneak peek at ComplexCon’s Family Style Food Festival in Los Angeles, where the dish went viral, and now it’s on the menu at every Boiling Crab location in the U.S. for a limited time.

Fans didn’t wait for an invitation. In the first two weeks in restaurants, guests placed 10,000+ orders across locations before the in-store menu handouts had even gone out. Word of mouth beat the menus to the table.

What’s in the Bowl
Indomie Mi Goreng stir-fry noodles, the cult-favorite Indonesian instant noodle, get tossed in The Boiling Crab’s signature Whole Shabang Cajun spices, coated in a sweet and savory glaze, and finished with fresh parsley. Guests pick their level of commitment: the Shrimp version, loaded with juicy shrimp, or the Seafood version, piled high with lobster, clams, and shrimp. It’s the pantry-staple noodle you already love, meeting the seafood boil you’d drive across town for. Bibs strongly encouraged.

Two Cult Favorites, One Bowl
“Sinh and I built The Boiling Crab on the idea that the best meals are messy, shared, and a little loud, and this dish is all three,” said Dada Ngo, Co-founder of The Boiling Crab. “Indomie Mi Goreng is a noodle so many of our guests grew up with, and pairing it with our signature Cajun flavors felt like bringing two family favorites to the same table. We’d been looking forward to sharing this dish at all of our restaurants, and we’re so grateful for how warmly our guests have welcomed it. We can’t wait for even more families to try it.”

“Mi Goreng has always been about that bold taste, a perfect balance of sweet, spicy, savory, and aromatic flavor with its bouncy noodle texture that brings people together, and nobody does bold and together quite like The Boiling Crab,” said Andrew D, Marketing Manager at Indomie USA. “Watching fans line up for it at ComplexCon, and now seeing them pack Boiling Crab locations across the country, has been incredible. This is Mi Goreng like you’ve never had it, and we want everyone to get a taste while it lasts.”
