July 27, 201412 yr I'm looking to get hold of some sherry vinegar. Has anyone seen it for sale in Bangkok (or anywhere else)?
July 27, 201412 yr Never looked but try Balsamic vinegar available at most 'expat' BKK supermarkets and you won't go back. It's basically the same, originally Italian, but aged using the Spanish 'Solera' method. Go figure.
July 27, 201412 yr are you looking for adding to stir fries,if so I use rice wine,in the uk I used sherry which according to ken holm is ok.but I havnt seen any here. available in Tesco and makro. Edited July 27, 201412 yr by meatboy
January 11, 201511 yr I've been searching for sherry vinegar in Bangkok too. I'll try using balsamic vinegar, but I can imagine its really the same.
January 12, 201511 yr Never looked but try Balsamic vinegar available at most 'expat' BKK supermarkets and you won't go back. It's basically the same, originally Italian, but aged using the Spanish 'Solera' method. Balsamic vinegar is totally different from sherry vinegar. The former is black, thick and sweet, the latter golden, thin and sour. Sherry vinegar is available in Gourmet Market. I'd suspect you can also get it at Home Fresh Mart since they're basically the same company. Incidentally, Gourmet Market also sells white balsamic vinegar, which I prefer for salad dressings since it doesn't leave unappealing brown splodges everywhere.
January 13, 201511 yr Thanks AyG! I'll take a look next time I am in Gourmet market. BTW my previous post should have read: I'll try using balsamic vinegar, but I can't imagine its really the same. Edited January 13, 201511 yr by millwall_fan
January 15, 201511 yr I bring red wine vinegar, sherry vinegar, cider vinegar, and balsamic (white and red) from the States or Europe and Filipino cane vinegar with chilis from the Philippines, and all are quite different from each other. I have seen all of them (except for the FIlipino), though, at Fresh Mart at the Mall Bang Khae. I would imagine they are also at Villa, but I couldn't swear to that. The only vinegar I buy in Thailand is rice vinegar.
January 16, 201511 yr check out mirin, a japanese condiment and usually widely available...serves most of the same purposes as a dry sherry vinegar....
January 17, 201511 yr I've never heard of the Mall Bang Khae but I'll look it up. thanks for that. As for Mirin, well I'd prefer the real thing, but I might try it if I really can't find sherry vinegar.
