The last time I visited Bangkok, I was served a typical fried rice dish
with a side thing in a little round dish filled with some type of
oil/liquid/sauce with small round onions and peppers I think.

What is this sauce called ?
Where can I buy it on-line ?

TIA

It may have just been fish sauce with Thai chiles - a condiment commonly
served with Thai food. The "onions" may have been rounds of lemongrass.

And if it was indeed that (and I agree it probably was), it would be
called nam pla prik (or prik nam pla) in Thai. 'Nam pla' is fish sauce,
and 'prik' means 'hot' in the spicy sense.

You got me interested and I managed to find quite a useful
site:-
http://www.importfood.com/recipes/tablecondiments.html

This describes a fair number of interesting Thai condiments
including nam pla prik.

What did it taste like? Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent/hot?

Your description alone isn't much to go on.

All I can remember it was HOT (a kinda good hot) and tasted
great poured over chicken fried rice - not sure what those little
round white (onion looking things) that was in there too, but I sure
would like to make some at home. Thanks to all who replied.
Now I have a start on what it was.

being in southern california, it's simple matter to find thai chiles &
fish sauce. but sometimes i use other kinds of chiles for variety.

The white things were most likely shallots. SE Asia cuisine uses
shallots quite a bit.
