This sambal was the first chilli paste I made with my mum's recipe because of homesickness.

This kind of sambal makes the best fried rice / fried noodles / nasi lemak in my opinion. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely taste *by S***S on 27 November 2025* Hard to get hold of from supermarkets, nice stuff that adds a nice kick ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not worth the price! *by G***N on 15 June 2025* Definitely not worth nearly seven pounds for size of jar. I gave it to my husband thinking it was a paste that could be used several times; I was shocked when he said he followed the recipie for two to use all with the cost of additional ingredients. It would have been cheaper to get a takeaway! The taste was okay, but I wouldn't get it again given that it was advertised as gourmet! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mak Tok Authentic Gourmet Malaysian Signature Sambal Chilli Paste - Lucullus Ketjap Manis - 250ml - Sempio Korean Bulgogi Marinade Sauce (300g) - Authentic Sweet & Savory Flavor.
