I replied to this last night, but I can't see my reply anywhere.

Anyway, what I said was that I love the Mae Ploy Chile Sauce (mine
doesn't have 'garlic' in the title, but its in the contents) too, and
have been known to force it on my friends, absolutely sure that they
will love it, as they have.

I have not yet tasted the Dali Chicken - a friend who is useless in the
kitchen asked me to see if I could recreate it, so I'm doing some
research while I wait for an opportunity to try it.

Cheers,

Ian
