Dream - A number of Indonesian students participated in enlivening the International Conference at the Islamic University of Muhammad Bin Saud in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on April 27-29, 2024. The Indonesian Embassy in Riyadh facilitated the students to promote Indonesian culture. Not only through brochures, but the students also introduced their hometowns by bringing musical instruments, arts, and typical food.

There was an interesting moment when Imam Masjidil Haram, Sheikh Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, visited the Indonesian pavilion. This is because Sheikh Sudais asked about one popular food in Indonesia, which is Indomie. The famous imam, known for his melodious voice when reciting the holy verses, briefly observed the traditional dishes served by the students who were manning the booth.

"Where is the Indomie?" he said, as quoted from the Instagram account @iday_adventure. His statement momentarily shocked the students who welcomed him while holding a plate of snacks. A few seconds later, they laughed at Sheikh Sudais' "bill". He then expressed his gratitude to Indonesia. He even conveyed it in Indonesian language."

"Mashaallah Indomie is truly world-famous, Syekh Sudais even memorized it," wrote @michan_91. "I will immediately work on Sheikh Sudais' fatwa now. Eating Indomie," wrote @ariosetiawan_. "There are so many regional foods with various flavors, but what he first looked for was Indomie," wrote @magnarexReport: Khaira Amaliya""
