Surely you know, right, why this food is the food most loved by most of our society and even the entire population in the world.

Noodles (or often written noodles) are a long, thin dough that has been rolled, dried, and cooked in boiling water. This term also refers to dried noodles which must be cooked again by dipping it in water. The Italians, Chinese, and Arabs have claimed their nation as the creator of noodles, although the oldest writings on noodles came from the Eastern Han Dynasty, between 25 and 220 AD. In October 2005, the oldest noodles estimated to be 4,000 years old were discovered in Qinghai, China. 

So, guys, it could say the noodles that we all eat are the oldest food. But why is noodles so many people's favourite?

What is the difference between chicken noodles, yammie, and Yamin?

1) Shape and texture

Chicken noodles have a chewy texture when chewed and the shape is quite thick. For yammie noodles, these types of processed noodles are smaller and thinner. Besides, yammie noodles are also soft-textured and feel a little dry when eaten. While Yamin noodles have flat noodles, not too thin and not too chewy. For the texture itself is chewy and has a brown colour because it has been mixed with sweet soy sauce.

2) Taste

Besides the texture and shape, the taste created by the three types of noodles also turned out to be different. For this chicken noodle seasoning, it uses broth, onion oil, and chicken stew, so that the taste becomes savoury sweet. Chicken noodle soup has a rather tasteless taste because it usually uses mustard cooking water.

Whereas yammie noodles usually use spices commonly used in Chinese food with the addition of pepper powder. The combination of spices produces a savoury flavour that tends to be salty. For Yamin noodles themselves, they usually use sweet soy sauce as one of the basic ingredients, so the taste is very sweet, typical of soy sauce.

3) Presentation

Chicken noodles are usually served one bowl together with topping and gravy. Although presented in one container and looks full, but the presentation is still interesting and appetizing. While the serving of Yamin noodles and yammie noodles is almost similar, that is, the soup is served separately using a smaller bowl with supplementary ingredients such as meatballs and boiled dumplings. Served separately, the way of serving Yamin noodles and yammie noodles is similar to Chinese food. So, if you don't want to eat the noodles dry, you can pour the soup little by little.

But I suggest you try Yammie's Panda because this culinary place is 'taste of Asia'.Variety of flavours offered SWEET and SALTY. There are several Yammie's Panda outlets scattered in Jogjakarta including:

• Yammie Panda Megatruh
• Yammie Panda Hartono Mall
• Yammie Panda Demangan Baru
• Yammie Panda Jogja City Mall
• Yammie Panda Babarsari
• Yammie Panda Kotabaru
• Yammie Panda HOS Cokroaminoto
• Yammie Panda Ambarrukmo Plaza
• Yammie Panda Timoho

The price range at Yamie's Panda is around 20 K-30 K and for 2 people only 70 K (the portion usually varies in each "chapter" outlet) but I recommend to try at Yammie Panda Megatruh and Yammie Panda Hartono Mall because I have eaten at Yamie's pandas in both places with consistent portions.
