I have been known to buy Mae Ploy's* red curry paste but as I can only buy this 1 kg pot, I don't do so often.
Must admit I'm not keen on the sweet chili sauce, but that's just me. Too sweet for my tastes.
* The brand name means 'Mother Ploy' (แม่พลอย) and is the name of a character in สี่แผ่นดิน (Four Kings), a famous Thai novel. In the novel, she is a strong woman who was determined to preserve Thailand's (then Siam's) cultural heritage.
