Sambal Bajak
Indonesian Fried Chili Sauce

This boisterous chili sauce, used sparingly or unsparingly, is Pondok’s most sought out condiment in the restaurant. Traditionally used in every household in Indonesia, the need to give dishes a touch of heat is becoming customary in the Western culture. Pondok’s Sambal Bajak encases its texture with rich flavours of fresh red chili peppers, shrimp paste, lemongrass and other spices of Indonesia, cultivating the palate with colourful dimensions.

Indonesian Red Pepper Sauce

This Red Pepper Sauce is as vibrant and flavourful as its colour reveals.
