So on our last trip to KL, my Darling Wife asks me if we have time to swing by a particular location. The reason – to buy some sambal. Yes, no typo there – TO BUY SOME SAMBAL.

​

Hmmmmm so what sambal is this exactly that has gotten everyone going a bit ‘gila’ eh?
Well, it’s the Sambal Gila by Betty’s Kitchen. The ‘Betty’ in question here is actually Betty Rahmad, the Malaysian actress, celebrity, BFF of Nora Danish and apparently now Sambal Queen too.

​

As you all know, I can be pretty skeptical when it comes to products that are endorsed or produced by celebrities but I have to be honest and say that my interest was piqued as we waited in the car at the Petronas station near Ampang. And after about 30 mins of waiting, it paid off!!

​

So people have been raving about this sambal. They use it when they’re cooking, they dish out on top of their fried fish and fried chicken and some simply use it as a condiment to go along with their rice or fried rice. With so many people from Malaysia and Singapore saying that this sambal is power, there’s gotta be some truth to it right?

Well, I didn’t really buy into all the hype. Until I finally tried the sambal for myself.
