Trying to locate bottled Num Prik Pla

Trying to locate bottled Num Prik Pla
Actually the contents of the jar that you see is the actual condiment sold in that bottle. I know that Num Prik Pla is not difficult to make but this dry and crunchy version is quite unusual to me. Ingredients listed on the bottle - Dried Fish, Chili, Onion, Garlic, Tamarind, Salt, Palm Sugar.

Has anyone seen this Thai product in any of the local supermarket shelves? I came across it in a grocery store in new york city chinatown and was wondering if it was available in the greater boston area.
Moksa Opening Soon
Moksa is now open for lunch. Had the duck tongue with brandade on roti (excellent), a trio of dishes from the izakaya section - beef tongue with a light horseradish sauce, pork belly with umeboshi glaze and mackerel with chili jam (devoid of heat and sweetness). All were tasty but tiny portions though the beef tongue was more substantial than the other 2.

Rubbing the chicken with a touch of canola oil and harissa paste (make sure some of the paste goes under the chicken skin) and then roasting it in the oven, came out pretty well for me.

How safe is it to use Oven Cleaner spray Easy Off on sheet trays?
I've seen that some folks use Easy Off as a last resort to tackle hard-to-clean situations. Is it safe on sheet or baking trays?
Abalone, sea cucumber etc.
you are right - sea cucumber is all about texture. it is something that non-chinese diners have been perplexed by, given its lack of flavor. a good rendition in a chinese restaurant is one that is braised in a very rich brown stock or broth.
there is more flavor in abalone though, if it is not prepared well, it will be rubbery.
