I don't know if it is too far for you, but I bought some at the supermarket inside the Paragon in BKK about 4 weeks ago.

Having no idea what 'sambal oelek' was, I had to Google it. Not only did I find out what it was on the first page, but also links to many recipes to make it yourself and several on-line retailers - including Amazon!

Hummm...yummy Sambal Oelek....I loved it to put it on my Doener Kebab back home!

Wish I could find a good Doener with it in Pattaya. Haven't seen both in 2 yrs....:-(

[Jingthing]

I have been on the lookout for this as well. I don't think you will find it anywhere in Pattaya.

There are some things you just can't get here.

[Dirk_brijs]

little strange though with all the Indian restaurants here I thought for sure you would find it somewhere.

I know more In donesian but Indians seem to like it too

I'm sure I've seen it in Friendship - but as I am currently in Vietnam (where there is plenty) I cannot verify.

Some of the hot Thai sauces could be a substitute on your rijstafel.

I buy sambal badjak and sambal brandal at an online shop in Holland.

I used to buy locally "prit ta deng" which comes a little near to the taste of the badjak but it isn't the same.

I know it is expensive but why should't I ?

btw that shop also sells the sambal oelek.

Can pm you if you like but I think you will know already.

Thats because its like looking for a tree among the leaves - all sambal oelek is is blended red chillis, vinegar and salt.

Either ask for a premade Thai substitute or make your own - 80g fresh red chillis, a bit of white vinegar or lime juice and 1 teaspoon salt. Remove the seeds if you don't want it too hot, chop the chillis smaller then put all ingredients in a blender and blend together as smooth as you want it. Keep in a jar the fridge.

The most basic concoction is just pounded chillis and salt. Other variations get fancier adding the souring agent and blachan etc. Kees5's wife.

I have bought it from an Indonesian restaurant owner in RuamRudee at the time I worked in that area

Bali is the name, nowadays I buy it on-line, never tried to make myself.....

Easy to do as per the recipe..... than I can sell to you right?

[BerndK]

Good thing I know it's not a joke...I know sambal oelek...I am sure i spelled it wrong.

I never say Dude...usually.

You are in Thailand....Why in the world do you need that particular brand?

The Chilly in thailand is not hot enough for you?

Why <deleted> sambal....?

Sorry but sometimes I just don't understand people..

It has to be called sambal....

I come here once in a while....sorry this is beyond me

eat a chilly...if you miss your Mom write her a letter

on the lighter side of things....drink a little more water and less mekong

[Jingthing]

Different chilies and different chili preparations taste different. Some people cannot taste or do not care about such differences. Some of us do. I will have a look at Friendship again to see if they have it.

[BerndK]

Thanks for setting me straight jingthing

...yet why not make it yourself?

It isn't that hard...and if it is as you say about the taste....hey..your own is the best.

It takes you as long to make it as it takes most to register for Thaivisa.com

At least you now it will be sambal jingthing

Just a thought

[raro]

A friend of mine asks everyone tavelling from Germany to bring some cans along....says it all!

Actually amazing that this Indonesian spice is not available in Thailand and has to be brought back from Europe!

[Jingthing]

I don't care about it enough to make it myself, but I would buy some if I saw it. I recently considered taking some back from the US but some other items took priority for my luggage space/space allotment.

if you mean what we call in Germany "frikadellen"... Friendship in Pattaya sells them, Otto in Bangkok produces them.

note: they are bland, no trace of any spice (not even salt) and besides that they don't taste as hardly any bread crumbs in the mix

[Dirk_brijs]

no not the german type.

Very dutch and Belgian. Serve them in the frituur (french fries snack bar)

Used to run one of those places back in Antwerp Belgium.

[Jingthing]

No Sambal Oelek at Friendship tonight.

Found out saturday: a small, good restaurant at Nern Plub Waan Plaza "Andrea's Bar" (former TiJa Bar) has frikandellen on the menu!
