hi im looking for asia food websites for shiping for europe, any recomendations?

I am seeing a steady change in hotpot to shabu shabu ratio in the hot soup category of restaurants. Maybe its just in SoCal? Curious of Reddit's preference.

Would you rather dine at

I had this chili crisp sauce from this vietnamese place and it was amazing. I was told that it is called Sa Te sauce and I need more lol. Does anyone know where I can buy some online on a college students budget? They have it on amazon but I do not want to buy a can of it and have it taste nothing like the actual product (and the most authentic looking one was only sold in bulk for 50 bucks). I am in the U.S. (west coast) if that makes it easier to help, and I have already checked the nearby asian stores.

So for context, my mom and I used to go to a Chinese stall near the marketplace. And whenever we visit, we always eat this dish which consists of thinly sliced ball of mixed meat topped with an orange sauce and thinly cut papaya on the side.

They call "halo" in the store which means "mix" which I guess suggests that there's a mix of different meat in that big ball of meat. It usually goes in pair with their chinese fried rice.

I do want to buy the dish from the store itself but I just recently found out that they have been closed for years.

For reference it kind of looks similar to this but without the eggs. Has anyone eaten the same thing? And please do share if you know the name of the dish, would highly appreciate it.

Several years ago, I had a meal in Vietnam. It was a cook-your-own-meat type thing, rather like a Korean BBQ. I have no idea whether it was traditionally Korean or imported, but it definitely felt more South-East Asian than Korean.

The thing I'm wondering about is an incredibly spicy green dipping sauce that came with the meat. One of the spiciest things I've ever eaten. It physically looked like chimichurri, but it tasted like a conflagration. Very, very green.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't Nuoc Cham, we had something like that as well, and this didn't have the sweet/savoury notes as noticeable. But if you google Vietnamese dipping sauce, all you find is Nuoc Cham.

Can anyone help ID it please?
