Local time: 01:12
deliciously rich/creamy/satisfying
Explanation:
Echols & Shadily defined "gurih" as:
1. Deliciously oily (and salty) but causing thirst (of fried fish etc)
2. Delicious in general
'ke - an' = too salty and crisp

taking the context into account, you can safely add adjectives describing the taste of milk, such as rich, creamy, satisfying etc.

is \"gurih susunya lebih terasa\" part of an advertisement? It could be translated as \"the rich creamy taste of the milk is better tasted\" or a similar wording.

Hope this helps.

agree  Kardi Kho: absolutely agree. I think 'gurih' is a unique 'Indonesian' taste and it's almost impossible to describe the taste using only a single word in English.
