Unbelievably good customer support. Excellent company to deal with.

I would just like to say that I have never-ever- received such incredible customer support as I did from Mae Jum! I had a few queries and the responses that I received was absolutely second to none. My questions were answered and I was given guidance and clarification where I felt I needed it. I honestly cannot fault this company at all. Thank you, Jum, for all your help, support and understanding. Can’t tell you his much I appreciated it. Denny

Severe reaction - company unreachable

No one seems to respond to the emails I sent them this week.our family got a severe heartburn and headache the day we had the food. I have emailed twice for returning the unopened packs as it’s clearly way too spicy for even a mild rated pack - but no one in the company seems to respond - for return process or concerns raises

I’ve just made the Thai Massaman curry

I’ve just made the Thai Massaman curry. Followed the recipe 100% other than I added less potato (the ratio seemed much more potato to meat but maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be), and at the end the sauce was quite thin so I added cornflour . It was absolutely delicious!! Yum!

Disappointing

Having travelled around Thailand earlier this year, we were excited to try these. Made the Penang curry tonight and found it very disappointing. No real depth of flavour - and I only used one tin of coconut milk, not the two stated in the recipe. If we had used two tins it would have had even less flavour. Overall a let down and would not buy again.

I was really disappointed with these…

I was really disappointed with these pastes. We followed the instructions exactly, but the end result was nothing like the rich, authentic Thai food we were expecting. The sauce was very watery, lacked depth of flavour, and was surprisingly bland.

I’ve spent over a month travelling in Thailand and have enjoyed authentic Thai cooking, so I know how vibrant and aromatic these dishes should taste. Unfortunately, these pastes didn’t come close. In fact, I’ve had better-tasting Thai curry pastes from Tesco.

Based on my experience, I wouldn’t buy these again or recommend them if you’re looking for authentic Thai flavours.

First Paste Review - Tom Kha - Amazing! but not for 6 people and you need extras

This is our first taste try of each paste we ordered from from Mae Jum and because we didn't have shrimp paste and other bits and pieces locally that you need to add we were limited to try this one. Note even this one requires fish sauce, coriander, lime juice and chillies - so buy ahead. The taste was great and we paired it with rice but added fine green beans. Not hot and we added chillies at the table as I prefer a bit more of a punch to my wife. I don't think this stretches to six people as stated on the pack but was fine for the two with enough left over for a lunch portion the next day - six is optimistic - two chicken breasts doesn't feed six people! All that aside we loved it and we're looking forward to the next packet.

This is the best thing I have bought…

This is the best thing I have bought for meals! They are quick, easy and soooo yummy! Trust the process and follow the recipe on the packaging. Just wow! Like a takeaway but even better as I know exactly what is going into it! Wow! Can wait for my next order to arrive!

Disappointing and far too hot

We recently received a whole range of recipe sachets and tried the Thai Green Curry rated 2/5 for spice. It was so much hotter than expected and had no depth of flavour - just very peppery.
Would not recommend this recipe.
We are going to try the Massaman mix next but if this fails to impress, the rest are going in the bin

Very Poor

Tried the yellow and red curry pastes. Both were very poor quality. They were hot which is fair enough but they had a cloying chemical taste and were both probably the poorest examples of a Thai curry paste I’ve used. They’ve got a strong commercial presence but there are much better out there.

Health Heat Warning.

Service and packaging was excellent.
However these pastes are incredibly hot, I tried the yellow curry paste, the mildest of the three curry pastes in the Starter Pack. The recipe was for eight so I halved the paste and cooked for four, we had to add banana, sultanas and lashing of yoghurt to cool the dish down.
I then halved the remaining paste again and cooked enough for four again with a quarter of the paste. Even that was way too hot.
We eat a lot of spiced foods including Thai and Indian but were not prepared for the spicy heat. Tread very carefully!

Delicious

Ordered the variety pack and only tried 2 of them up to yet. The jungle curry paste is very spicy as advertised but has a beautiful flavour too. The panang was delicious. Really looking forward to trying the rest now.

So far, I'm impressed. …

I received my sauces today and immediately set about cooking the Thai yellow curry. It very simple to use following the instructions. I added chicken and then courgettes, sliced carrots, green beans and green peppers. I really enjoyed the taste of this sauce and am looking forward to trying the others. Yes so far, I would recommend.

Wow!

Wow!! Best curry pastes ever!
Full of flavour, easy to make and great to add your own veg and pulses if you want a vegetarian twist.
Just love them- could eat one every night! Spicy, but great depth of flavour too.
Just perfect! Thank you 😊
