My daughter just came back from a 6 week job in Bangkok Thailand and brought me home this little jar of goodness from a store called Lotus. Some type of peppers, something crunchy, and some type of hot oil all mixed together to make an amazing concoction of fire and flavor. Perfect for Ramen noodles or anything else you want a little extra kick! When this is gone I'm going straight to the oriental market to see if I can find more.

Always good to try new things.

That's mostly what they're looking for, raw produce, a couple types of cheese that are banned, and stuff like freeze dried bugs etc.
She disclosed all the food products that she brought back to customs. Couple ramen packages, shown jar of pepper stuff and a couple seasoning mix packages ( Laab-Namtok and Yum Woon Sen). From what I understand fresh and raw are a no go but prepackaged foods seem fine.
Yeah. a lady that I followed on YouTube grew up in Colorado but now lives in Germany with her husband. She came back with apples in her bag not thinking about it and a customs dog picked her out.
That looks like chili crisp. Love that stuff. I usually pick up this one, either from a local Asian grocery store or from Amazon:
Does it contain MSG? You betcha....

MSG is not bad, not sure why it got such bad rep.
LOVE the artwork on the label.
Hava a Thai person translate the ingredients for you.
Is it "good 'n spicy" or "insane/stupid" spicy?

If I add about 1/4 spoonful to 1 pack of ramen noodles it is very warm. It's not just burning hot like habanero It has depth and complexity. A nice change of pace compared to many of the hot sauces out on the American market these days.
There was a controversy because David Chang (of Momofuku) registered the trademark for "chili crunch" and had attorneys send out cease and desist letters. Then he stated that he wouldn't enforce it, and my check of the registration with the USPTO indicates that the registration has been expressly abandoned.

That being said, I checked for anything with "chili crisp". Nothing with just that is an actively registered trademark, but there is an active one for "Thai chili crisp".
