Can't recall ever seeing them. Just use beef stock cubes by Knorr or beef bouillon liquid in a bottle. These are available in Super Duper.

Yeah, never seen oxo here.

Sometimes even the Knorr beef can be hard to get. Always have chicken and pork but rarely beef

For anyone searching for the beef one, remember the packages are not the same as the chicken, pork or vegetable stock. And don't assume they will be right next to the other stock cubes!!

Are the knorr cubes the same thing? As a kid we would have an OXO cube in hot water as a beefy drink in the winter.

I can't vouch for Knorr being the same as Oxo as a drink. I doubt it as the Knorr beef stock is quite salty. If you want a hot beefy drink you are better off with Bovril. I am sure I have seen that here.

I bought some oxo cubes from someone who finished their restaurant in Sihanoukville, I think possibly they bought them from a supermarket there.

OXO cubes and Bisto is available at Super Duper.
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

I have bought OXO cubes from Super Duper several times, they have the beef and the chicken, but sometimes (more often than not) they're not the best quality. They're either very very dry - very hard to crumble, or sometimes moist.

I'd recommend opening the box and checking them before buying them.
The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never allow the dumb ones to lead the pack.

And check the best before date. I doubt Super Duper do that.
