Creator of popular Indomie noodles flavor dead at 59

(CNN) The creator of Indomie's popular 'mi goreng' flavor, Nunuk Nuraini died on Wednesday. She was 59.

Nurlita Novi Arlaida, the head of Indofood's Public Relations confirmed Nuraini's death In a statement to local newspaper, Kompas.

The cause of death was not revealed.

Following news of her death, many fans took to social media to pay tribute to the recipe developer who worked at the company for nearly 30 years where she produced the hugely popular 'mi goreng' and other flavors for the brand.

Indomie, an Indonesian company under the Indofood umbrella, is the biggest noodle brand in the country.

However, the instant noodles influence has grown beyond the borders of Indonesia.

In Nigeria, Indomie is the noodle of choice for many in the country despite the prevalence of numerous brands on the market.

The instant noodle was first exported to Nigeria in 1988 and by 1995 had opened its first production factory. With three factories presently in the West African nation, the company says it produces eight million packets of noodles daily to meet the high demand.

This makes me sad. If I wasn't on a keto diet these days, I'd inhale a Mi Goreng packet right now.

Mira Furlan passed away on January 20, 2021. She was a personal friend - we met because of her starring role as Ambassador Delenn in the TV series "Babylon 5".

Mira was born on Sept. 7, 1955, in Zagreb, Croatia, where she was a leading actress in theater, film and TV, and was part of the Croatian National Theater. Some had described her as “the Balkan equivalent of Meryl Streep.”

She emigrated the to United States in 1991 with her husband, Goran Gajic, a writer and director. She is survived by Goran, and their son, Marko Lav Gajic.

In addition to "Babylon 5", she was also known for the recurring role of Danielle Rousseau on the popular ABC drama “Lost".

I already miss her incredibly.

John Hudgens was hired by Joe Straczynski to create official "Babylon 5" music videos for him to use at science fiction conventions, and later to promote the show to networks. They produced eight video over the run of the series, with a series of memorials for fallen cast members over the years since.

thanks for posting that!

Delenn was an awesome character and very well played by Mira!

If there's an H-Mart or Lotte market near you, they sell them for less than $3 for a five-pack, usually. Unlike traditional Japanese or Korean ramen, they're not meant to be eaten in a soup -- the noodle are boiled for 3 minutes per usual ramen standards, but then drained and mixed with the flavor packets, which are a bit more complex than what you get in the aforementioned other ramen types.

Just saw that one. While the actor is not the character, it was a show from childhood with a relatable character.

Wow, three weeks. Sounds like something vicious like pancreatic...

Stage 4 lung cancer (specifically small cell carcinoma, a very aggressive cancer). He speculated that it was from all the seedy motels he's been in, since he's not a smoker, but his family does have a history of cancer.

Now in the queue, a guy who probably should have coached in at least three Super Bowls (two agonizingly narrow losses in the AFC title game with Cleveland, and multiple playoff letdowns with San Diego) had things gone just slightly differently (refresh page if you don't see tweet):

Hospice care for Alzheimer's means his body is shutting down. He's likely stopped eating, and is currently starving to death. If he entered hospice care on the 30th, he should be gone by the end of the week.

Christopher Plummer was an awesome actor, saw him in so much and his acting and amazing voice were a rich, meaty treat, sigh
oh, and...Skyrim...him and Max Von Sydow were a perfect pair to give that game some gravitas.
Very, VERY few like them left anymore

[Mircadius]

So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night Mr. Plummer.

He pulled off one of the great sports upsets of the 1970s when he took the title from Muhammad Ali:

I don't think any red-blooded male in the world of the United States, as well as beyond can truly live a day in the life without stress and not give at least a whispered thank you to the work that this guy pulled off.

As sleazy as it might be, this guy was truly a pioneer in his cause. He had some tough ones, and some great ones, but 78 years lived is nothing to sneeze at, especially since many of those have been lived with the tragedy of surviving an assassination attempt.
