| Chinese Chili Oil
What's a good store-bought Chinese Chili Oil? Preferably from T&T.
Currently using the above, not really a fan, dislike the peanuts, doesn't taste that great and it's not spicy enough even with a tablespoonful. What I am looking for is a product that resembles closer to what you would find at a HK cafe/Viet restaurant.

next time you go to a chinese cafe, you should ask them which brand they use.

I use a brand called Chiu Chow Chili Oil. You can find at TNT and its got like a pink label on it. Sorry I'm too lazy to go to my fridge and check the brand =P
It's good though! give it a try

I buy the same brand, but their other sauce.
It's more crushed. No peanuts?

^ what he said. Same brand.
It shouldn't have peanuts and it's more spicy than that pic you showed.

a lot of the Chinese resturants will sell their homemade stuff. Next time you are at a place just ask and they normally have a jar.

It's good though! give it a try | I believe Chiu Chow Chili Oil is only a type of chili oil. I use lee kum kee's chiu chow chili oil
http://www.amazon.com/Lee-Kum-Kee-Chili-7-2oz/dp/B000F04SRQ
you can find it at TnT. Pretty good, no as good as some restaurants (which make it themselveS) but its satisfactory!
