Bro, do not get your chili oil from the supermarket. I can drizzle this shit and hardly taste it.

I got some Mrs C's chili oil and a couple of drops of that will bore out my arsehole.

I went to Benjamin's Kitchen last week, great Asian fusion place in Alphington I haven't been to for years. They sell their own chili oil, I should have got some

    I love Cempasuchil Mexican Tijuana oil, if you ever see it. I especially love the Oaxacan oil (it's got a smoky flavour). I used to work with the lady who makes it and the Tijuana oil doesn't mess around.

    That sounds like what i want. I'm surprised by how much chili oil there is around. It must be easy to make if so many people do it

    There is a lot of it around, and plenty of it is mediocre as you've discovered. They use and sell Bippi where I work and it's ok for what we use it for (Italian style foods that have a little kick in the background like a la vodka sauce, but nothing that's going to kick your arse with heat).
