I don’t remember eating a hot & sour curry in Thailand or any Thai restaurant before so when I saw this Maepranom Brand’s Hot and Sour Curry Paste, I just had to grab one to try.
This hot and sour curry tasted pretty unique because the spice paste contained shrimp paste so overall, it was on the fishy side. I wouldn’t really call this a curry because it didn’t have any cream or coconut milk to add body to it and it was very much like a seafood/vegetable soup that was packed with a lot of flavours.
Not my favourite of all Maepranom Brand’s curry pastes but if you’re looking for something different from the usual curries, it’s still worth trying this.
For those of you residing in Singapore, you can get this brand of curry paste at the Thai Supermarket @ Golden Mile Complex.
