Whats is "a typical Thai seafood chilli dip"

Is that the gloopy clear sauce - with red flakes?

No, that's horrific stuff, more sweet and gloopy than anything else. That's typically called dipping sauce for chicken, though it's also served with things like fried battered shrimp and fried spring rolls.

This one, avoid: post-64232-1268667473_thumb.jpg

Seafood dipping sauce is less sweet, and more spicy. Get it: 5910.jpg

Note that there's another horrific 'avoid-at-all-costs' chilli sauce in Thailand, that's the Sriracha Sauce, typically served with fried omelettes. (Nothing good ever came from Sriracha. :) )

An issue that I have with many Western 'super-spicy' hot sauces is that they contain cups full of vinegar, making them more sour than spicy so it doesn't really go well with anything anymore as they completely take over anything they touch. I need to work on a sauce that has an interesting balance of other flavours, in addition to being insanely hot, preferably with a 'delayed action' that you get with many habanero type chilies. Something you'd consider 'fresh & pleasant' tasting, seconds before it rips your head clean off. :D
