Sriracha - Local Sauce



Cape+Kantary is a magazine that you will find in all the Cape and Kantary Properties. In every edition there is always an article that we like to share.

In this edition - http://www.capekantaryhotels.com/ckmagazine/Issue16/index.html  - (Pages 36-39) there is an investigation into the popularity of the red chilli sauce that you are commonly served with Asian food. The most common example that you may see on the tables in Aisia is the squeezy see-through bottle with the green twist cap.

This sauce (manufactured by many) began to find it’s way on the International dinner table,  but it was always imported from Asia.

So where did the sauce come from originally?

The writers tell us that there is a company in Sriracha in Thailand which claim to be the originators. Thanom Chakkapak is said to have created this sauce to accompany the freshly served seafood which was caught locally under 100 years ago. Her friends and family loved the sauce so much that they encouraged her to make the sauce and sell it herself!

This did not last long and the Thai Theparos Food Products acquired the recipie and their bottles still bear the original ‘Sriraja Panich name.
