Vegetarian Festival or Tesagan Gin Je
Celebrate with us! The Vegetarian Festival, or “Tesagan Gin Je,” is a vibrant annual celebration in Thailand observed mainly by the Thai-Chinese community and typically takes place during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar. This usually falls in late September or early October. Rooted in 19th-century Phuket, where a Chinese opera group recovered from malaria through a strict vegetarian diet and prayers, the festival honors their miraculous recovery. The Vegetarian Festival in Thailand is an awe-inspiring celebration celebrated countrywide that intertwines spirituality, tradition, and culinary delights. It provides a unique insight into the Thai-Chinese community’s beliefs and practices, as well as their commitment to leading a compassionate and ethically conscious lifestyle. The festival’s vibrant processions, intriguing rituals, and sumptuous vegetarian cuisine create an immersive experience that captivates both locals and tourists alike. Available at 7-Eleven Thailand!

Thai chili crisp
No MSG, No Preservatives and No Artificial Additives – Our Thai Chili Crisp is a delightful blend of fried chili peppers and other aromatic ingredients, harmoniously combined with one of the healthiest oils available: Rice Bran Oil. Originating from Chinese cuisine, chili crisp sauces made with infused oil have a rich history spanning centuries, with each region offering its unique style. Our approach is refreshingly simple, relying on a select few ingredients: Rice Bran Oil, Shallots, Garlic, Chili Powder, White Sesame Seeds, Salt, and Sesame Oil. The result? A mild yet incredibly pleasant spiciness that transforms this condiment into a culinary gem. Whether drizzled over rice, noodles, dumplings, or used to elevate sandwiches, pizzas, or soups, our Thai Chili Crisp adds a burst of flavor to just about anything in your kitchen. Plus, the inclusion of Rice Bran Oil provides heart-healthy fats and antioxidants, making it a smart choice for health-conscious foodies.

new products & packaging = new photos
The air hummed with the quiet efficiency of the photographer and stylist. The studio buzzed with energy as the team prepped for the photo shoot. In the center of the room was an extensive wooden table laden with food, kitchenware, and equipment. Across from the Khao Soi noodles, a condiment duo awaited its close-up. A glass jar housed the star of the show: Chili Crisp. Its fiery red oil peeked through, hinting at the symphony of flavors within – toasted chilies, fragrant garlic, and a touch of sesame. Beside it, a bottle of Wasabi Furikake displayed its vibrant green hue, flecked with seaweed, sesame seeds, and the promise of a delicate wasabi kick. The team’s goal was to capture the essence of the products, highlighting the rich warmth of the Khao Soi, the fiery intrigue of the Chili Crisp, and the playful contrast of the five flavors of Furikake seasoning.
