cardholder Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Heinz at makro and Friendship (cheaper at the latter !) i never heard of Friendship,not as a retail place that is. what is it then and where would i find it? Sorry - just realised that I posted this on the CM forum. Friendship (a Chinese owned supermarket that excels in Farang food/drink at decent prices) is in Pattaya - still, useful information for those in that area.

ProThaiExpat Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 In the past week I checked Tesco north, Carrefour central and Rimping north and no Kraft Mayonnaise there for the past two weeks. Asked Rimping to order for me and call me. Phone hasn't rung. I think all the outlets rely on a middleman importer who has dropped the ball. The overall shortage has exhausted any back up supply. In desperation I bought Kraft Sandwich Spread and still harbor a lifetime dislike for the flavor. Heinz hot dog relish works if you like sweet pickle and mustard. Another favorite has been lost, Ben and Jerry Ice Cream, once it was bought out by Unilever. To Thailand credit, Australia doesn't have Kraft Mayonnaise at all but does have a Whole Egg Mayonnaise in large jars but since it is an import item, it is pricey.

thaitar Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 There is Kraft mayo at Tops on Huan Kaew in the basement of the mall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Rimping Meechok put out 6 small bottles of Best Foods yesterday (4 were left; I bought 2). They weren't there the day before. I guess supplies are tight! LOL.. Take a look at the Best Foods (and other decent brands') supply at Makro.. Whole piles of wholesale sized bags. :roleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cib Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Sorry guys, but when you are talking about Best Food, Kraft, Heinz, you are not talking about mayonnaise but about disgusting so-called sauce. You can find reasonably good mayonnaise in Carrefour (brand name=Carrefour) or make it yourself...At least, it is easy to find good and very good mustard in Chiang Mai to make it!

I was talking about mayo for sure. The reason I remember is because I DON'T buy Kraft, as it's full of crap ingredients, and I usually some odd thai brand (without sugar), and one day they didn't have it, and I was inspecting shelves for other brands. There were 2 others, one of them was Kraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I noticed it too, there's a mayo shortage. Best Foods is the best. Kraft or Heinz sold here is very sweet. Having said that, there has not been any low-fat Best Foods anywhere in C.M. for about 2 months now. Now, they are out of the regular Best Foods (high-fat) everywhere. ewww gross...Best Foods taste like chemicals ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRS1 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I like the Japanese mayonnaise, in the uniquely shaped bottle with the baby on it. Not sweet at all and it has real egg flavour too. You can buy at Rimping et al. In the picture is the 500g bottle, the best value, but smaller bottles are also available. Keeps in the fridge for ages. There is a Thai version, same looking, same good taste. Enjoy! Kewpie ! good stuff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nawak Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I typically only make as much as needed. Or the least possible. Only use lemon, lime came out really weird . Sometimes I add a little english mustard powder, give it a little bite. Yep, I always add a touch of "Moutarde de Dijon", yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SidFernwilter Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Anyone noticed since Kraft Real Mayo changed its label the tast also changed? It used to be okay, but now have kind of fishy taste to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepsel Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 When the obvious places are out of mayonaise or anything else, I head over to YOK and/or Bakermart in Chiang Mai, and they usually have what the other stores are out of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptoyoumyfriend Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Mayonnaise Yield: 1 Servings 1 c Salad oil 1 Egg -=OR=- 2 Egg yolks 2 tb Lemon juice -=OR=- 2 tb Vinegar Salt and pepper Paprika Beat egg or egg yolks with a rotary beater until slightly thick; add 1 teaspoon oil at a time beating well after each addition, until 1/3 cup has been added. Add a few drops lemon or vinegar. The mixture should be quite thick and perfectly smooth. If it isn't you added the oil too quick or didn't beat it enough. Continue to add the oil and acid alternately until it's used up. Add seasonings to taste. Store covered in the refrigerator. add some dijon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anselpixel Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 During the Great Flood, I started making my own. Now I can't stomach any of the stuff on the shelf. That would be okay, I suppose, but I'm lazy. As a result, I'm eating far less mayo than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beng Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The homemade one from Jo's bakery in Ban Nam Prae in Hang Dong (not easy to find) is pretty good and without sugar. Jo does it only on request. I think it's 400 g for around 60 Baht. Always available are his homemade mustard and pickled gerkins. His bread is good as well (baking twice a week,Tue/Fr). He sells imported cheese at a reasonable price too. Open only from 13:00, closed on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgriffith Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Home made always better than store bought. Have made it all my life. But if you use fresh eggs, and are whisking in oil to emulsify- be aware the storage life is next to nil. As in, use it immediately or refrigerate for a day or 2, max. Raw eggs, especially in Thailand, are salmonella sources. Everyone has different tastes, so my observation on store bought mayo might be disagreed with vehemently by some. If you are buying the Thai brand mayos, you might not be aware there are several alternatives that are not loaded with sugar. Or even have almost no sweetening at all. My top pick is Kewpie. Made under licence in LOS, it is a Japanese style mayo. Very creamy texture, almost no sweetening. A plethora of sushi chefs worldwide use this mayo for baked crab/clams in abalone shell, etc. Kraft from Australia a distant 2nd. It has that gelatinous texture like Best Foods/Hellmans in the US. Really rather gross. There is no 3rd- all the rest are simply unpalatable industrial swill IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
