Singaporeans are known for their diversity of cuisines. From the various dishes in hawker centers, to the diverse types of food served in eateries all over Singapore, there is always something new to try. But there is always one thing in common that Singaporeans are looking out for, no matter the cuisine or variety, chilli. Yes, chilli, the spicier the better some say.
- “Walau, no chilli how to eat?”
- “Uncle, add more chilli please.”
- “Do you all have sambal chilli?”
- “Dapao remember to take chilli hor. If don’t have you better go back and take ah.”
No matter where it is, in the hawker centres, restaurants, staff canteen, BMT canteen or office pantry, you will always hear such candid remarks. Chilli has become an indispensable part of a Singaporean’s food culture.
Enjoying red hot spicy sauce ain’t an exclusive thing to Singaporeans only, tourists and expats working in Singapore have also learn to love them as well. It’s common for locals or tourist to purchase some of our local bottled chilli sauces back home. Not to mention local Singaporeans that bring along their home chilli for their overseas studies or work as well.
However the current pandemic had made travelling very inconvenient. And thus making it tough to stock up on your favourite Singapore chilli sauces if you are running low on stock. But not to worry, we got you covered with these 3 online chilli sauce retailers that provides international shipping to save the day.
1. Mofo Chili
MOFO CHILI was founded by two sisters, Monica and Foi. The name is derived from fusing the first 2 letters from each name. The sisters started eating chili from a very young age. However, it was when they had gone overseas for their tertiary education that they really started on this spicy journey together. Every time they go overseas, each of them would bring at least 5 kg worth of fried chili with her and the chili soon became well-known amongst friends. Upon relocating back to Singapore, they decided to venture into producing it for the public.
The idea behind MOFO CHILI is to have a spicy condiment, which is versatile and suitable for cooking, marinating and dipping, without changing the taste of your dish. Expect a spicy and tasty tingling sensation as you dig into your bottle of chilis. You won’t taste sweetness, bitterness or sourness, but you will taste a slight saltiness to give the umami taste to the chilis.
