Does anybody know where I can buy indonesian groceries? I want to cook some of my Oma's recipes, but am not sure about where I can get some of the ingredients. If I can't get it in BKK, can anybody recommend a website where I could buy online?

Specifically I am looking for:

Laos(Galangal Powder)

Coconut milk block

Terassi (block) (shrimp paste)

Kemiri (candlenut)

Thanks!

Have you considered substituting where possible?

Fresh galangal is readily available in every Thai supermarket. Grate it and use a bit less than you would of the dried version.

For the solid coconut cream, use coconut milk (again available from every supermarket). Let it stand in the fridge in a bowl for a few hours, then scoop off the thick stuff on top. Reduce the other liquid in your recipe to compensate.

For shrimp paste, use the local Thai version. It's not quite as strong as belanchan (I'm guessing that's the same as terassi), but it's pretty close. Again, from any supermarket.

And as for candlenut, you can sometimes find them in local markets - particularly those with a Moslem section, but I find that raw cashewnuts are a reasonable alternative.

I've seen galangal powder in Tops supermarket. I'm guessing finding the coconut block should also be possible. But sorry, I don't know of any specialist Indonesian stores. If you're really desperate try asking around the Indonesian embassy

Indinesian Embassy have some items which are not sold in the market like Tempeh
