I have a jar of Sambal Oeleck, made by Yeo's Y H S (Singapore) PTE LTD, in
Singapore. I got it at a WONDERFUL Asian market in NW NJ. I don't
actually know what town it was (I was visiting a friend and she was
driving), but it's on Rt. 46, not all that far from Milton. Definitely
someplace that's worth a visit!
