I know it's not very healthy but I really do not like the local chinese takeaways at all.

My old chippy in Wigan has apparantly closed since we left (only kidding) but their chow mein was to die for.
So I am going to make my own Chinese, so does anyone know where I can get monosodium glutamate from or accent seasoning as I have heard it called, anywhere near the palmy area.

Thanks

Jo

Scary stuff that Jo!! Would offer to bring some over from the Chinese hypermarket in Liverpool but imagine customs raising some eyebrows when they spotted a large bag of white powder! :laugh

Should imagine there is a large enough Chinese contingent in NZ to warrant getting it somewhere.

No worries. If you don't find it, let me know. I'm sure I saw it in one of the Asian supermarkets in Petone. I can easily nip over there and try the one in Kilbirnie too.

I looked in Moore Wilsons but they did na have any.

I hope they do sell it in that shop. Jo's meant to be cooking us a Chinese meal and I don't want it all runny and bland !!!!!!

See you for lunch in Palmy on Friday Jo.
