Commonly known as sambal in Malaysia, our Signature Chilli Paste is made with 100% natural ingredients. The fruity sweetness marries perfectly with the umami seafood notes where a subtle heat gradually comes in from the back of the first taste. A perfectly crafted chilli paste with a multitude of uses - marinade, dip, in a stir-fry or a base for curries. If you've tasted and love Malaysian satay or Nasi Lemak, you need to get this!

Product Story - This was the first chilli paste I made with my mum's recipe to counter my homesickness whilst I was a student at Sheffield University. Extremely loved by the signature figure of the family, my Dad.

The natural lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime leaves, and ginger give this paste a complex profile - so much that all you can say when you put it in your mouth is DANG GOOD! An absolute star for any slow cooker recipe.

Suitable for vegans & vegetarians.

Product Story - Did you know that rendang is not considered a curry in Malaysia and the rest of South-East Asia? The flavour of this dish is so complex that it has its own category in our cuisine. Growing up, my family will have rendang once a month and only when our parents received their salary enough to buy fresh beef from the butchers.

A balanced nutty-sweetness and slight tanginess with a subtle chilli heat coming through nicely to finish. Made with a traditional method, this Satay Chilli Paste is perfect as a finishing sauce on BBQ chicken, prawns, and tofu. Thinking of making a Pad Thai?

Heat: Mild
Suitable for vegans and vegetarians

Product Story - My grandmama was a traditional satay vendor and my dad grew up selling hundreds of satays every day after school to support his family. This paste is also inspired by my sister, the nutty clown of the family.

Fabulous bright red colour with good consistency and interesting smoky aroma. On tasting, the delightfully smoky aroma is appealing and well rounded with a subtle sweetness. Use it in your Chilli con Carne or fajitas for that ultimate flavour.

Heat: Very hot
Suitable for Vegans & Vegetarians

Product Story - The Fire Chilli Paste is known as Sambal Bajak in my family. Whenever mum makes this, she would wear double-layered gloves to protect her hands from burning for a week. Inspired by The Dragon a.k.a my mum! LOL.

Bright, fresh and vibrant, this Sweet Chilli Paste has a wonderful fragrant flavour with good notes of lemongrass and ginger. Perfect as a glaze, in a stir-fry, or a base for a curry. You will need this if you are making a mouthwatering Hainanese Chicken Rice or Vegetable Spring Roll.

Product Story - According to my mum, this recipe was passed down to my ancestors who had ties with the Baba Nyonya communities in Malacca during the British Colonial Era.
