Instant Thai porridge, "Joke", 45 g x 12 cups
This item has been out of stock for at least 6 months, and many customers have been asking when we'll have it again. Just arrived, one of our most popular instant meals from the world-famous Mama brand. One serving really fills you up nice, a substantial lunch in a firm cup not flimsy foam. Add boiling water to the cup (plastic spoon included) and let it sit for a few minutes, makes a delicious rice porridge (see our recipe for Thai congee if you'd like to make it from scratch). Add sliced fresh green onions and/or a whole egg to add flavor.
You get one case, with 12 individual cups inside. We have chicken flavor, seafood, and pork flavor (our favorite). Ingredients, chicken flavor: dehydrated rice grain, rice flour, artificial chicken flavor (soybeans, wheat), non dairy cream (glucose syrup, hydrogenate palm oil, sodium caseinate), msg, dried leek, dried ginger, pepper powder, garlic powder, disodium ribonucleotides. Product of Thailand. We like topping this with fried red onion.

Thai Stainless Steel Tiffin Food Carrier
Food Network chose this as a Great Giving Top 15 Gadget, our convenient food carrier helps you save money by taking delicious food with you. Grist Magazine also did a short story about our stainless steel lunchbox because it's good for the environment, reducing waste. Interlocking bowls with a single lid on top, held together tightly with a separate handle/clamp/bracket as shown. The bowls are not completely leak-proof but for thick sauces it won't be a problem, and it's meant to stand upright. Add vegetables in one level, rice in another, spaghetti, sandwiches, cold-cuts, whatever you prefer. It's a versatile container made of the finest quality stainless steel, used for generations you can still find the ceramic version used in Thailand. We prefer the 2 and 3 level. More details here. Product of Thailand.

Mushroom Ginger Sauce, Maxchup
This is a brand new arrival, a fresh sauce just developed by Maxchup. The flavor is gentle, Chinese-style with the unmistakable flavor of Thai ginger. Use it for just about anything, either as a sauce to fry vegetable or add it to flavor your soup, or even as a dipping sauce. We enjoyed this sauce heated then served over udon noodles. Something similar from the same company: extra hot garlic chile sauce. Ingredients: soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, mushroom, ginger, starch, disodium inosinate, guanylate, sodium benzoate. Product of Thailand. See our recipe for Thai ginger chicken. |

Thai Earthenware "Sharkfin" Pot with Lid and Plate
Last week we introduced the 10" sharkfin clay pot, and now we have a slightly smaller version with a finer finish. The glaze is premium quality, thicker and higher gloss. Overall appearance has a much finer finish. You get three pieces--the pot, lid, and a beautiful plate that it sits on. Unlike the 10" size, the 8" is glazed underneath the pot. The lid has nicer finish work as you can see in the photos, the lid has a higher dome, and it seats perfectly on the rim. The pot is 8" across the top, the domed lid is 6.75" across, the handle is 3" long, and the pot has a 3 cup capacity. Thick sides and solid overall quality. Oven-ready, use it to make any casserole or an extra-large single serving of soup. An excellent gift idea for a chef who enjoys something new. Product of Thailand. |

Solid Granite Mortar and Pestle
Over the years we've sold thousands of these handmade tools, especially during the holidays as gifts. Our prehistoric-looking solid granite mortar & pestle is repeatedly mentioned as one of the best cooking tools available, period--most recently by one of Bon Appetit's main correspondents. Read more about it here. Product of Thailand. |

Limited Edition Square Mortar and Pestle
The same super-dense, attractive solid dark granite machined to a precise 6" square block. The mortar is 2.5" tall and has a 1.5 cup capacity, pestle is 6" long with a nice taper, and the top half of the pestle has a granite polish applied to it which gives the look of it having two colors. Complements any countertop, with an elegant style. The bottom, sides and top are all perfectly smooth, and the inner bowl is machined smooth as glass. It works great as a natural grinder for all kinds of herbs & spices, and it would be a very nice gift particularly for someone who has granite countertops. Based on appearance alone, it looks like it's worth far more than $30 or $40. We've seen something similar in an art gallery for $150. |

Kratong Tong Thai Pastry Cups. Perfect Holiday Treat.
One of our favorite Thai appetizers is Kratong Tong (shown at top of this page) and if you haven't heard about it that's probably because Thai restaurants rarely offer it. Kratong Tong is time-consuming to prepare but at the same time simple, fun, and extremely tasty.
This handmade brass mold is designed to make Kratong Tong, see our pictures here and our detailed Kratong Tong Recipe for a step-by-step guide on how to use it.
Total height of the mold is 10 inches. The top part of the handle is wood. The rest of the mold is brass. There are four cups on each mold, and the cups are shaped by hand in a similar but unique pattern. Each cup is about 2 inches across.

Solid Brass Wok, Handmade in Thailand
Our beautiful, rustic, solid brass wok is a nice gift idea for the cook who also has an eye for home decor. This brass wok has been entirely pounded and shaped by hand. We have two sizes available, the small size is shown below. This first came to our attention when style magazines showed small brass woks from Thailand as popular among the Hollywood crowd as table decor, and the brass wok is often featured on the cover of modern Asian cookbooks. This is a beautiful conversation piece with longterm value. The handles are handshaped and attached to the wok using brass rivets..
The solid brass wok is commonly used in Thai cooking for preparation of various desserts (see two favorites below). Using a brass wok has certain advantages when cooking sweets such as candied bananas and black sweet rice pudding.
The large is 10.5" in diameter, 3.5" tall (5.5" tall with handles), weighs 2 lbs and has a 12 cup capacity. The small is 6.5" in diameter and 2.5" tall (4" tall with handles), weighs 12 oz and has 4 cup capacity. Click on the images for a larger view, or click here for more details. Product of Thailand. |

Thai Street Vendor Steel Wok
For years we've sold a sturdy, modern, carbon-steel flat-bottom wok made in Taiwan that's perfect for American kitchens, but since we started our Thai Street Vendor Video Series many customers have asked us to offer a wok identical to the sidewalk chefs. Here it is: the same wok Thai street vendors use. You can see it in action here. The steel is 16 guage (1/16" thick), fairly light, which is just right for constant use because it get's hot easy and it's not too heavy to handle all day. It's a round-bottom wok, the beechwood hand sets at a nice upward angle. 14" across the top which is the most common size. For electric stovetops we also offer a wok stand to stabilize the round-botto wok. It works perfectly, 9" diameter. Higly recommended accessory: our long handle stainless wok turner. Made in Thailand. |

Dragon Fruit Juice
Dragon fruit is a tropical fruit that seems to be a cross between kiwi and watermelon. Enjoyed by locals throughout SE Asia as a delicacy. More farmers have been planting dragon fruit so it's easier to find it in markets these days. It's rich and meaty, sweet and exotic to say the least. For someone who loves fresh dragon fruit, or for someone who enjoys new things, this would be a nice surprise gift. ImportFood.com is the first to offer such real dragonfruit drink in the United States. It's guaranteed 100% nobody has tasted canned dragonfruit drink in this country unless by some chance they snuck into our Seattle warehouse since last week. Notice the seeds and pulp, in the picture below. 11.8 oz can. Ingredients: water, dragon fruit (14%), sugar, citric acid, dragon fruit flavor. Product of Thailand.
