YOU CAN HAVE A PIECE OF US AT HOME EASILY! OMG!!! YES!!! NO FUSS AND NO HEAD CLUBBING INVOLVED! YAY!

NUMBER TWO – SAMBAL DROP OFF PART DEUX:

Our last Sambal Drop Off was a bloody success. Well for those who got in there so quickly anyway. 

We also apologise to all those who were greatly offended by our sassy sambal logo. So in the interest of gender equality. we decided it was only fair to now feature a hunk of a man.

So… Since we have had more than a few angry emails, death threats, poison darts, whimpers and cries, evil eyes and custard pies, and rants of broken dreams, shattered hopes, lost youths, mourning and grief,  disappointed cries, empty desires, thrown our way from the hungry people who didn’t manage to get their hands on a jar of sambal the last time, here’s…

*FONT SIZE: ONE GABAZILLION* 

ROUND 2.

AT 2PM UK TIME ON 23 OCTOBER 2012. TODAY. 

WE WILL BE RELEASING VERY LIMITED SUPPLIES AT THE PLUSIXFIVE SHOP.

Be quick(er) this time!

DROP OFF WILL BE AT 5PM THIS SATURDAY AT THE TICKETING COUNTER AT LONDON BRIDGE TUBE STATION. BRING YOUR PLUSIXFIVESHOP CONFIRMATORY EMAIL AND LOOK FOR SMALL ORIENTAL GIRL WITH BAGS OF SAMBAL.

for those of you blurdumbofacedsotongs who dunno what the story behind the sambal is……………………

the resident grrrlpower powerpuff grrrl, seasonal produce championer, sambal making extraordinaire, hot babe of plusixfive, ShuHan, who handmakes her very own sambal with a shiiitlot of ingredients and more importantly, a heck of a lotta sweat, tears and buckets of love. READ ABOUT IT HERE >>>> http://mummyicancook.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/sambal-tumis-my-very-important-belachan.html

Using my Professor X psychic abilities, secret ouija board and seance like skills (and CTRL-C), channelling ShuHan:

“I’ve mentioned this chilli before. This is not any ordinary chilli paste. Yes, you use this as a dip at the side, but you also use this as the base for creating so many Singaporean/ Malaysian classic stirfried noodles/barbeques/curries/sauces. That said, it’s an extraordinary dip, and nasi lemak is not nasi lemak, fried hokkien prawn mee is not fried hokkien prawn mee, without this sambal chilli on the side.

What’s unique about this chilli paste is belachan- a potent-smelling fermented ground shrimp. I still remember cooking with it last year when I was still staying in halls and my Turkish flatmate kind of flew out of the kitchen. But don’t judge, because I guarantee you’ll love its salty savoury flavour. Plus like all fermented foods, belachan is great for health. I would, however, suggest doing this in an outdoor kitchen, or with all your windows open, and preferably with friendly, out-of-town, or Southeast Asian neighbours.”

Even the blardy label is lovingly handmade OK!

I made Sambal Udang last night with your sambal! It was yum! I love the caramel-y taste!

tom (@citylights)

The lengths I’ll go to for Sambal apparently includes getting soaked in a thunderstorm :p

Inspired by your British/Sing cooking – used some of Sambal in British summer salad. Was stunning.

julie (@citycaphe)

my mum stole your jar of sambal too, she loves it! Can I reserve another jar from your next batch please

john (@john2man)

Seriously, Shu Han ought to make a business out of this sambal. It kicks ass of any other product I’ve tried here
