"The chilli sauce is decent but lacks the complexity I am used to from homemade or traditional South Asian chilli condiments. It works as a basic dipping sauce but if you are used to more layered chilli flavours, this will feel a bit one-dimensional. Acceptable but not exceptional."
Ayam Brand Coconut Milk Classic 200ml
Ayam Brand
"Coconut milk is a key ingredient in Tamil cooking as well and Ayam Brand delivers a consistently rich and fragrant result every time I cook fish curry or prawn masala. The 200ml tin is perfect for one pot of curry without any wasteful leftovers."
Hup Seng Cream Crackers 700g
Hup Seng
"These crackers are a staple in every Malaysian household regardless of ethnicity and for very good reason. I love pairing them with sambal or dhal as a snack, which gives a lovely South Indian twist to a very Malaysian biscuit. The texture and saltiness are always spot on."
Maggi Kari 5+1
Maggi
"The curry flavour is quite close to a light South Indian curry in terms of spice blend, which I find comforting actually. I usually add extra chilli and fresh curry leaves when cooking to give it more depth and aroma. A reliable quick meal for any busy day."
Old Town Classic 15s
Old Town
"This is genuinely one of the best instant coffees in Malaysia and I say this as someone quite particular about coffee after years of drinking South Indian filter coffee. The white coffee flavour is authentic, creamy, and consistent across every sachet in the pack. The 15-sachet box is very practical for daily use."
