The distinct flavor of Aceh-style noodles is increasingly popular among residents of Serdang Bedagai (Sergai) Regency, North Sumatra. One of the most popular spots is Mie Aceh Syedara, owned by a native of Sigli, Aceh.

This culinary business was first established on the Trans-Sumatra Highway in Kota Galo Village, Perbaungan District in 2015, before eventually moving to a location in front of a gas station in Firdaus Village, Sei Rampah District.

By using a recipe with authentic Aceh spices, the owner now achieves a monthly revenue of millions and employs 8 workers. However, he admits that income is not always stable.

“During harvest season, earnings increase quite a bit, but day-to-day it doesn’t always match the costs we imagine,” he said.

The spices for the Aceh noodles are regularly purchased from traditional markets at a cost of around Rp 2.5 million each month.

The menu offered is quite diverse, ranging from fried Aceh noodles, wet noodles, to stir-fried noodles with various topping options such as chicken, beef, shrimp, and squid.

In addition, fried rice, egg martabak, roti cane, smashed fried chicken, various dimsum, and fresh drinks are available. Menu prices are affordable, starting from Rp 5,000 to Rp 30,000 per serving.

One customer expressed being impressed with the flavor of the Aceh noodles served.

“The noodles have a distinctive spice flavor, and the price is affordable for all kinds of people,” he said.

In managing the business, the owner is assisted by his wife, who also handles sales of smashed fried chicken and wonton noodles. Open from 12:00 PM to 3:00 AM.

The presence of this Aceh-style cuisine further enriches the culinary choices for Sergai residents with authentic Indonesian flavors.
