Mie Caluek are lidi noodles, where the shape of the noodles is bigger than the yellow noodles. So do not be surprised if Mie Caluek sometimes like to be called as 'Spaghetti ala Aceh'. However, there are also Caluek Noodles made from vermicelli or yellow noodles. I personally prefer Mie Caluek with noodle stick. Peanut seasoning will feel more sticky and seep with noodles stick. The addition is usually vegetable or urap and 'kampong' crackers in red and white. This is also what distinguishes Mie Aceh with Mie Caluek, namely kerupuknya. If Mie Aceh is synonymous with melinjo crackers, then the complement of Mie Caluek is the 'red' white village crackers. Just like crackers for pecal. I call it 'kampung' crackers because these crackers are very cheap and often used as a complement to many street hawkers.
