Thanks so much for the kind words about our Burning Mango, Nive! We appreciate you! Happy saucing :)

Aw thank you Kate!
.
Excellent!
Tried the Sambal sauce. Good heat and hits with a ton of flavor.
10/10 would recommend the Burning Mango! one of the best hot sauces i've had :)
My favourite hot sauce.... and I've tried many. The mango is the bomb!
I love the flavours of the sauces, especially the burning mango! They are very flavour but not too hot. I also like that the bottle are small and can fit in my handbag (emergency hot sauce on the go).

I had Lits’ sambal and it is a new favourite. It is a perfect balance of spiciness and flavour. I have tried the sambal sauce with seafood options like fried fish prawns and squid. Highly reccomended 😋
I really enjoyed having the Amma’s Malaysian Sambal sauce. It has a bold taste of southeast Asian flavor. I love the fact that it is versatile because you can use it to cook, marinade, dip, or spread. I used it as dip for my chicken and it tasted so good. Has a spicy tingly taste/acabar taste.

Loved adding this to my breakfast! I’ve been looking for a way to add a little more flavour in the morning and this definitely hit the spot! I’m always skeptical when I see spice ratings but I was pleasantly surprised to see this was definitely an 8/10 ! Absolutely recommend if you’re looking for some extra spice on any dish!

I absolutely love this sauce. I was not expecting it to be as spicy as it was, but the flavour is amazing! Very tasty! I dipped my avocado in it and I cannot wait to use it to marinate chicken.

As we say in Indonesia, eating without sambal is like eating without salt — it just feels incomplete.
That’s why I was so excited to receive this Amma’s Malaysian Sambal from Butterly in exchange for an honest review. As someone who grew up with sambal on the table, I couldn’t wait to give this a try.
For this meal, I paired Indonesian yellow spiced chicken with rice, lalapan (fresh veggies), and sambal. It’s a typical combo in many Indonesian homes. We usually enjoy it with sayur asem (tamarind soup) too, though I skipped it this time.
I used Amma’s Malaysian Sambal as a dip, and it instantly reminded me of the sambals I grew up with. The texture is thick, and the heat is just right. Bold, balanced, and comforting. My husband liked it too. He’s not picky with sambal, but he knows when one stands out.
Made with fresh and dried chilies, garlic, and shallots, this sambal is vegan, gluten free, and all natural. There are no preservatives or shrimp paste. Just bold Southeast Asian flavor. It’s also a local product, proudly made in Ontario, Canada.
Compared to store bought sambal oelek, this one tastes fresher and more balanced. I also prefer the texture. It’s thicker and richer, not watery like most commercial versions.
While I enjoyed it here as a dip, it honestly goes well with anything — nasi goreng (fried rice), stir fries, balado, marinades, or even as a spread.

I loved the multi-layered flavours in the sambal! Truly the perfect flavour bomb hotness 🔥
Would definitely try it with rice, noodles, for marinade, and in my salad dressings!
*I received this complimentary for review purposes. I love sambal and fell in love with the fresh flavours when I visited Indonesia a few years ago. Since coming back to Canada, the mainstream brand you can find at the grocery store does not satisfy that spicy craving anymore. When I discovered this sambal, I was surprised at how fresh the ingredients tasted. There is a spicy yet floral taste to this sambal, making it perfect for any bowl or as a dressing for salads. I checked their website and though this is on the pricier side (about $14 per jar), I'd be willing to splurge on this once a year!

Wooo this sauce has go some kick to it! I've had sambal sauces in the past but this is nothing like the ones I've had! I love the texture of this sauce. It's also cool that there is no shrimp paste in this one, makes it stand out from the other brands even more! It was a taaaad spicy on it's own for my son but i mixed it with mayo for him and added honey to balance out the heat and he loved it on his chicken! I'll definitely be buying this again as it's now become a staple pantry item for our family!

I’m obsessed and already eaten half a jar of this litssauce Amma’s Malaysian Sambal. It’s great on veg, meat, topping eggs, rice. This chilli sauce is amazing blend of heat and I’ve been adding it to everything I’ve been cooking the past couple of weeks. FYI this is vegan, most Sambal is made with shrimp paste and this doesn’t have any and it’s favourful as heck and perspective free (I get migraines with any preservatives)

I’m definitely getting more because this hot sauce is fantastic and I’ll be finished the jar by next week 🤣.

This sauce surprised me so much! I loved the flavour, the texture, the spice and of course the versatility as it can be used in pasta, rice, as a base for soups, marinades and even for dips. So you do get your money's worth and an amazing product.

This sambal is packed with flavour — not just heat. You can really taste the lemongrass and mango, and it adds so much depth to even the simplest dishes. It’s now a go-to in my kitchen!

Lost in the Sauce- Amma’s Malaysian Sambal delivers bold, authentic flavour with every spoonful. The taste is rich and aromatic, blending savoury, sweet, and umami notes with a definite spicy kick that builds without overwhelming. It’s the kind of heat that lingers just enough to keep you going back for more. Makes my dish have that Malaysian flavour. Tried it on skewers and chicken and it's a hit!

Love this sauce. Love the spice level. Goes really well as a marinade or dip. Can't wait to try it with momo or samosa and my other favorite snacks. I definitely recommend to try it if you haven't so far.

Our best selling three.
Three of our most-loved sauces in one box: the everyday Trinidadian workhorse, the flagship sambal everyone asks about, and a sweet-spicy crowd favourite. If you want to know what makes Lost in the Sauce stand apart from the crowd, this will tell you why.

One for every meal.
OG Boodoo on eggs, rice and wings. Amma's Sambal to cook with: stir into noodles, fried rice, marinades. Burning Mango on tacos, grilled chicken and salad bowls. You'll find your favourite fast.

Real ingredients. Every bottle.
Vegan, gluten-free, low sodium, all-natural, no fillers and no extract shortcuts. Amma's Sambal has no shrimp paste, so everyone at the table can dig in. Made small-batch in Ontario, the way real sauce should be.
Starting out, answered.
I'm new to hot sauce, is this too hot?
Two of the three sit at 6–7/10 (think hotter than Sriracha, not a challenge sauce). Burning Mango leads with sweetness. If you handle medium wings, you're set.
Why these three?
They're our best-sellers and the most versatile: an everyday pepper sauce, a cook-with-it sambal, and a sweet-spicy all-rounder. The fastest way to 'get' LITS.
Can I swap the sauces?
This is a fixed set. Want to pick your own? Build any 3 bottles and save 10% from the sauce menu.
Are they vegan and gluten-free?
Yes, every bottle. Vegan, gluten-free, all-natural, low sodium. Amma's has no shrimp paste.
Shipping?
Ships from Ontario in 2–5 business days. $10 flat across Canada, FREE on orders $65+.
What if I don't like it?
Then you don't pay for it. If a sauce isn't for you, reach out within 30 days of delivery for a refund on the sauce, no jar to mail back. One refund per customer, and it covers the sauce itself, not the original shipping.
