Default Hard-to-find Foods

I know it's a longshot, but hopefully someone here knows their Asian foods and where to find them





That's the best hot chili paste I've ever had the one time I found it at T&T, makes any soups amazing. Finally ran out and couldn't find it again at T&T, anyone happen to know where else might have it? Also searched online, but can't find any place that ships it to Canada

Wouldn't it make more sense to search on Alibaba?

Anyways, it looks like they may have changed their logo a little bit, but this is the same company. Here's what I found:

https://www.amazon.com/Pantainorasin.../dp/B000F6MOS0

No idea if they can ship to Canada. I'd offer to be your middle man, but customs already frowns on the items I send my sister and I'm sure I'm on a list somewhere.

Ya I found some similar looking chili pastes on Amazon, but the ones that do ship here are all $25 without factoring in shipping. I like the sauce, but not that much. Guess I'll just start hitting all the Asian markets around town and hope I get lucky

Phrasing?

Quote from Avenue Calgary, so maybe a place to check as well?

Quote:
Arirang Oriental Foods

Tucked into the multi-level strip mall next to Community Natural Foods on 10th Avenue and 12th Street S.W., Arirang is bursting with interesting Korean ingredients and packaged foods to try out. Its aisle of sauces and condiments include more soy and fish sauces than you thought were imaginable, as well as a myriad of vinegars and containers of gochujang, the smoky fermented pepper paste that makes Anju’s chicken sliders so delicious. Don’t forget to gaze at the huge wall of packaged ramen and pick out one or two to take home to try.

1324 10 Ave S.W., 403-228-0980
Basha Foods in the NE may also be somewhere to check - 2717 Sunriddge Way N.E., 403-280-6797, bashafoods.ca, https://www.facebook.com/BashaInternationalFoods/

Lambda Oriental Foods Supermarket?

1423 Centre St N

It is a Thai product - somewhere on 17th ave SE?

Tatak Pinoy - Filipino store.

Hiep Hoa Asian food is Vietnamese.

Well that's the problem, it's from Thailand, and there's no market to my knowledge that specializes in Thai stuff. I know of all the Vietnamese markets since my wife drags me to them all the time, kinda sucks that they're all in forest lawn though

You might have better luck checking at a Thai restaurant then and show them a pic of the condiment.

I have a relative in that area now. I'll see if he can bring a bottle back.

Surprised you can't find that in Calgary. In the US it's almost as common a Frank's. Walmart sells it for under $2/bottle:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Crystal-L...Fl-Oz/10535235

You could always add it onto a bigger order from here, or just buy a bunch of bottle to make the $20 shipping to Calgary worth it:

https://gourmetwarehouse.ca/louisian...t-sauce-177ml/

Edit:

Since it's being used for wings, this might be a better option:

That #### is really easy to make and I bet you can find all the ingredients without issue.

Just google nam prik sawan recipes and try some out.

If anyone can find Magnolia Bakery banana pudding equivalent in Calgary I would greatly appreciate it.
