December 10, 201114 yr I have never seen this for sale anywhere in Pattaya. If you have seen it somewhere for sale, please tell me where. I appreciate the helpful comments like have a look at Villa, etc., but really looking for a tip from someone who has actually seen it unless you know of a specialist Chinese food market. Turns out it is a key ingredient to cook Ma Po Tofu. I tried this dish at two places in town and it didn't measure up to my standards, so I'll have cook it myself, that is if I can find this ingredient. Cheers. BTW, rather than two new threads on local Chinese food, where can Chinese style roast GOOSE be found in town, if anywhere?
December 24, 201114 yr Pleasure to get a chance to reply to you! I have not seen any Chinese fermented bean sauces in Thailand - not even in Chinese shops in Bkk. Until only a few years ago, I could not even find 'salted black bean... What I would suggest is the bottled Thai fermented soybeans mixed with a Thai 'dried-chilli oil'. Cook with lots of garlic. That should be quite similar... --- And I there is a shop on 3rd Road that advertises Duck and Goose. I have only walked past - waiting for my friend to come back next week to try the goose (and also try a masala dosa!). The ducks look good hanging there, but no goose on display. 250bt for goose... It is on the east side of 3rd between Nua and Klang - very close to Klang. Not far from the French bakery (name something like 'Petite Boulange', which has decent butter-based cakes, good coffee, and rather slow service!) Does Pattaya have a better quality and range of food than Chaingmai? Initial impression - yes.
