Very very good! Keeps well in the freezer. As they are individually wrapped, I can take one out whenever I want and consume the whole pack at my leisure

So flavourful, I kept going back for more!
I’m not someone who can handle a lot of spice, but this sambal was so well balanced that I kept going back for more. It has a really lovely depth of flavour without being overwhelmingly hot.
So far, I’ve only tried a little, but it already made such a simple meal taste so good.
Can’t wait to try using it for laksa next!

So tasty and versatile!
Really enjoyed this sambal!
The spice level is just right!
Enough of a kick without being too much. You can really taste the dried shrimp, and there are lots of different layers of flavour!
It is lovely straight from the jar with rice, noodles or eggs, but I also tried making a few dishes using ideas from their Instagram and they all turned out really tasty!
Definitely recommend it and would buy again!
