This summer my wife and I had a brief, but lovely stay at
The Cloister in Sea Island GA. (http://www.cloister.com)
The food was excellent. The menu varied, and one night one selection was
labeled "Hot", naturally I tried it. It wasn't quite CH hot -- but it was
delicious with a rich chile flavor and a mild but satisfying heat.
I sent my compliments to the chief, and inquired about the ingredient used. He
came to my table and after a brief discussion he presented me with a brand new
bottle of:
*** "Sambal Oelek / Ground Fresh Chile Paste" ***
from Huy Fong Foods, Inc. http://www.huyfong.com
-- it too became a staple with me. I've recently noticed that they do have a
nice sample pack available, and plan to try their other related products.
(Usual disclaimers.)
