Bold taste
I really enjoyed having the Amma’s Malaysian Sambal sauce. It has a bold taste of southeast Asian flavor. I love the fact that it is versatile because you can use it to cook, marinade, dip, or spread. I used it as dip for my chicken and it tasted so good. Has a spicy tingly taste/acabar taste.

As spicy as they say!
Loved adding this to my breakfast! I’ve been looking for a way to add a little more flavour in the morning and this definitely hit the spot! I’m always skeptical when I see spice ratings but I was pleasantly surprised to see this was definitely an 8/10 ! Absolutely recommend if you’re looking for some extra spice on any dish!

A Taste of Home: Amma’s Malaysian Sambal Review
As we say in Indonesia, eating without sambal is like eating without salt — it just feels incomplete.
That’s why I was so excited to receive this Amma’s Malaysian Sambal from Butterly in exchange for an honest review. As someone who grew up with sambal on the table, I couldn’t wait to give this a try.
For this meal, I paired Indonesian yellow spiced chicken with rice, lalapan (fresh veggies), and sambal. It’s a typical combo in many Indonesian homes. We usually enjoy it with sayur asem (tamarind soup) too, though I skipped it this time.
I used Amma’s Malaysian Sambal as a dip, and it instantly reminded me of the sambals I grew up with. The texture is thick, and the heat is just right. Bold, balanced, and comforting. My husband liked it too. He’s not picky with sambal, but he knows when one stands out.
Made with fresh and dried chilies, garlic, and shallots, this sambal is vegan, gluten free, and all natural. There are no preservatives or shrimp paste. Just bold Southeast Asian flavor. It’s also a local product, proudly made in Ontario, Canada.
Compared to store bought sambal oelek, this one tastes fresher and more balanced. I also prefer the texture. It’s thicker and richer, not watery like most commercial versions.
While I enjoyed it here as a dip, it honestly goes well with anything — nasi goreng (fried rice), stir fries, balado, marinades, or even as a spread.

My new favorite sambal!
*I received this complimentary for review purposes. I love sambal and fell in love with the fresh flavours when I visited Indonesia a few years ago. Since coming back to Canada, the mainstream brand you can find at the grocery store does not satisfy that spicy craving anymore. When I discovered this sambal, I was surprised at how fresh the ingredients tasted. There is a spicy yet floral taste to this sambal, making it perfect for any bowl or as a dressing for salads. I checked their website and though this is on the pricier side (about $14 per jar), I'd be willing to splurge on this once a year!
