NEW: Thai Ceramic "Sharkfin" Pot
Here we have a style of pot that many customers have requested over the years, and we finally have in stock. The claypot style of cooking is often found in Thai-Chinese restaurants. In Thai this pot is known as a "sharkfin pot" because sharkfin soup is usually presented this way.
Find this pot in our recipes:
Thai-style Noodles Baked in Clay Pot, "Bamee Gai Op Mor Din"
Thai-style Baked Rice in Clay Pot, "Khao Op Mor Din"
The pot has a unique design that you won't find in stores, and it offers good functionality. There is a base for authentic Thai presentation. Keep the soup warm by adding a tealight candle underneath in the base, or serve without the base if you prefer.

The glaze is premium quality, thick, with a superior finish that looks more like an elegant European bowl from famous maker Lladro. You get five pieces as shown. The lid has a high 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.

Back in Stock: Stainless Steel Water Bowls
Keeping a bowl of fresh water in the refrigerator (or freezer) is common in Thailand. When guests arrive, cold water or ice is always available for them. 12 years ago when Jerry and Yaowalak got married, a relative gave us stainless steel water bowls exactly like this. We've used them almost daily, for everything. They're lightweight, durable, and convenient. Our kids have used them for watercolor painting, we use them as cereal bowls, ice cream bowls, anything around the house, on camping trips, digging on a sandy beach, and more. They look the same today as they did 12 years ago.
Use these bowls to make old-fashioned jasmine rice, more info here.
Made of pure stainless steel by Zebra-Head. Each bowl is 5 3/4" across, 2" tall, with 3 cup capacity. Product of Thailand. |

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. |

Keychain Knife and Bottle Opener, Made in Thailand by Kom Kom
A nice idea for stocking stuffer. Kom Kom is the same company as Kiwi, and they produce the finest quality knives in Thailand. See our entire selection of Kiwi and Kom Kom knives.

Pull it out, turn it around and put it back in and it becomes a nice all-purpose knife. The hard plastic handle keeps knife and keychain together.
The knife blade and opener blade are tempered stainless steel. Nicer quality than you might expect for this price. Total length is 3 3/4". Knife blade is 2 1/4". The blade has a Kom-Kom Thailand logo. Made in Thailand.

Special Offer: Fresh Kaffir Limes and FREE Kaffir Lime Leaves
At this time we have additional supplies of this rare fruit. Order today and get one order of kaffir lime leaves ($14.95 value) added for free.
Kaffir lime peel is indispensable when making your own Thai curry paste.
Kaffir lime peel is loaded with a fragrant citrus oil, and the flavor of the fruit is overwhelming if eaten fresh. The kaffir lime tree is grown and harvested mainly for the leaves which are a staple in Thai cooking, but the tree doesn't produce many of these limes. As kaffir limes aren't eaten fresh, and there's limited use for them, our grower typically strips the trees of all fruit each year to promote growth of the leaves. This year however we kept fruit on a few trees and now it's been harvested. The fruit not only looks excellent but the culinary appeal is perfect: fragrant, strong citrus flavor. Put a slice of the bitter peel in your mouth and your lips get a tingling sensation of citrus unlike anything you've tasted.
One of our longterm customers, a well-known chef, uses kaffir lime peel in seafood recipes, and in cocktails.
Kaffir lime peel is used to make Thai curry paste, by pounding it together with other ingredients in a mortar and pestle. Notice from the pictures the nice thick, white fleshy peel. This is loaded with citrus flavor and aroma. A classic Thai dish that uses kaffir limes, whole, in soup is Khanom Jin. It's also used to make candy.
Kaffir limes are used extensively in aromatherapy. Some massage oils, natural shampoos, and various herbal products call for kaffir limes but the scarcity of this fruit makes it difficult to prepare authentic versions. For anyone who might be interested, please consider ordering now because the fruit is limited to what was harvested last week, and will not be available again until next year.
Each lime is approx 1 3/4" diameter and weighs 1 oz. We'll ship your fresh limes separately via USPS Priority Mail, upgrading to 2 day service at no extra charge. Grown in USA.
