Spring Street Grocer has it all. Food heaven right in the Melbourne CBD. From cheeses, gelato and lunches, to coffee, wine and groceries.
One of south-of-the-river’s most enduring independent grocers and iconic fine food stores is The Leaf Store in Elwood. “Leaf” is a genuine 'community food hub' and have been stocking Eighteen Thousand Islands products right from beginning.
We are excited to announce that we recently launched into Tassie, an amazing foodie destination.
Smudge Eats know their stuff... devoted to food, wine and coffee across Australia, Bali, Hong Kong, Singapore and soon to be the United States, we were lucky enough to have chat withe team and be featured on their site.
These two great cities produce some of Australia's best foods and boutique brands, so to be sitting on shelves alongside our friends to the west of us is both fantastic and humbling. Who'll win the Eighteen Thousand Island stockist challenge - Adelaide Vs Perth??
We've always loved visiting Bali, reacquainting ourselves with the island's familiar spices then returning home to recreate them in our own kitchens. And now with the launch of our Balinese Curry Paste, we've been able to capture all those spices and flavours in one jar, making it so simple to recreate a Balinese style curry at home.
We're excited to announce that we've just launched in Australia's largest city and the stockist list is growing fast!
Australia’s largest supermarket at over 10,000 square metres, LaManna is a foodie's dream - and it now stocks Eighteen Thousand Islands!
We're now stocked in a growing number of stores in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine coast, as well our first New South Wales store - in Byron Bay!
We’re now available at the iconic, and very gourmet, Leo’s supermarkets. These four supermarkets are amazing, and if one happens to be your local, consider yourself very lucky. If you’re nearby, you should definitely check them out!
By popular demand we have made a 'hot' version of our delicious satay sauce and it’s now available. You can get it online here or on shelves near you very soon - many of our stores already stock it!
Hams & Bacon/Pope Joan hosted Chris and Merv at their April 'Meet the Producers' evening where they cooked up an Indonesian feast including beef rendang, acar salad, chicken satay, tofu satay and nasi goreng.
Beef Semur is a simple stew based around just a handful of ingredients, primarily Kecap Manis. It's really quick to prepare so busy households like ours can get on with all the other tasks at hand!
Quick, easy and delicious, this dish is inspired by a Japanese cold soba noodle salad. Using our satay sauce as a key ingredient in the dressing, it's perfect for a hot summer evening when slaving away in front of a hot stove or bbq is the last thing on your mind.
We're very happy to report that our Chilli Sauce was this week named in the Top 10 list of 'new-wave hot sauces' in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald newspapers and online at goodfood.com.au!
Recently, we had the idea of adapting a Balinese Sate (Satay) Lilit recipe into something that was less labor intensive, quicker to prepare and fun for my near-3 year old to scoff down. Here it is!
Surely skewering a bit of chicken and whacking on our sauce can’t be that hard you say? And you would be correct. However, there are a couple of easy tips to make those skewers the perfect vessels for that peanut goodness.
Scott trained under the mentorship of revered French chef, Phillipe Mouchel, and worked at Three Michellen Star London restaurant, The Square. In 2011 he opened Northcote's Estelle Bistro followed by ESP and Collingwood's much heralded Saint Crispin.
We are super lucky to have so many great local stores on our stockist list. If you’re looking for a new years resolution, why not explore your local. Support the store around the corner and share some love... and I bet you will get more love in return.
With over 400,000 Instagram followers worldwide, The Bali Bible is Bali's largest and most popular online tourist network. They recently got their hands on our sauces and they liked what they found! Here's an excerpt from their fantastic article. Thanks Bali Bible!
Certains flavours always return you to a time and place. For me, nothing sends me straight back to a bustling street-side stall in Indonesia than a freshly made sambal.
My method here is based on the classic street seller approach, that is, it's quick and easy - cooked in a flash so you'll need to have your ingredients all lined up and close at hand because it's all over in the blink of an eye.
This is my mum and grandmother's recipe. It's a delicious and simple take on the classic Indonesian dish, requiring very little preparation time and relatively little cooking time.
We'll also be back on the shelves in South Australia
