Nam Prig Sawan is literary mean Chili Paste from heaven. Try it then you will know why this paste came from up there! 🙂 haha..
OK OK! I will tell you now, why we called it “Chili Paste from heaven”.
This paste is less spicy. That’s all.
There is also Nam Prig Narok, which means “Chili Paste from hell”. Can you imagine how spicy it would be? Mae Pranom Brand has both of them, if you want to try.
