maggi imported from France

[missbidon]

I am looking for some arome saveur Maggi, but from France. Not the one from Mexico, 'imported from Europe..., German, or chinese.
Has anyone seen it around here?

thanks!

Stopped by the new Asian market in Quincy (Super 88's old space on Hancock) called Thuan Dat, and found Maggi's Arome Saveur at 6.95 for a 200 mL bottle.

The market has the usual staples for Chinese and Vietnamese cooking, and more stock of Vietnamese goods that I don't normally see in the Chinatown or Kam-Man markets.

I thought I saw these at the Gypsy Kitchen in Quincy Center as well. Just curious - what's different about the kind from France?

EDIT: Strike that. Looks like their kind is from Switzerland, not France. My bad.

Ba Le and King Do should have it. They're really expensive at $11.99 for a tiny bottle.

Every country make their own version of Maggie. The French version has a lighter brown color and is very mild compare to all the other versions.

the French version is seen as the best by vietnamese people. Not as strong as the german version, more refined.
I wasn't sure I wanted to spend $12 on a small bottle so went to Battambang market in Lowell to buy the maggi 'imported from Europe'. I found the huge bottles of arome saveur Maggi (French) for $28. They had NO small bottles of any kind. They said they ran out.

Have you tried Golden Mountain? You should be able to find it in SE asian stores. I've always liked it better than Maggi growing up. You should try to find the smaller bottles. It's shaped and labeled like Maggi.
