Anyone know of a place to get some item some Malaysian products anywhere near Boston.....have a chef friend coming in and I'm trying to source out dried shrimp, shrimp paste and curry leaves.

    I wound up buying some Malaysian/Indonesian products through the website: www.indomart.us

        Dried shrimp and shrimp paste are readily available in any Chinese market. Curry leaves I've never seen, but then again, I've never looked for them. You may need to try some of the specialty spice stores for that, but certainly give the Chinese (any in Chinatown) or Indian markets (Shalimar in Central Sq for example) a try . I'm sure others can come up with more specific recommendations on both.
