Is Masako bumbu (stock powder), whether rasa sapi or rasa ayam, not the greatest culinary gift Indonesia has given to the world?? Truly, it is magic in a sachet with the ability to make even the crappest cook (like me!) produce mouthwatering dishes so so easily! Sorry for getting a bit carried away, but I love that stuff so much! :) :) :) Anybody else tried it? I'm sure most of you with Indonesian partners have, for sure :wink: . If not, hunt some down!Cheers,Adam

I'm sure I've tried it before, but I long ago pulled the trick of pretending to be a terrible cook (instead of just a not very good one), everytime my girlfriend asked me to try and cook something. She doesn't ever ask me to try and cook anymore! :D

Yep, probably why it tastes so good!!! :mrgreen: But then, I haven't seen to many people who don't cook with MSG (aka mononatrium glutamat) anyway.....

Hi Adam,I was just skyping the other half. I asked her about masako bumbu. Her response "eeew that so sucks" followed by the puke symbol. Sorry mate you did ask if others with Indo partners had tasted it :lol: Unfortunately she doesn't have a kitchen so I haven't had the pleasure of her cooking very often but when she does it's sensational. I presume its just an alternative to fresh spices? Fresh is best you know :lol: Cheers

You wont find Masko in our kitchen though neither in Bali nor Lombok.
