In The News: Sibeiho’s AF Chili Chunka Sambal Named Finalist in 15 Years of Good Food Awards

Portland, OR – June 9, 2025 – Sibeiho is proud to announce that its AF Chili Chunka Sambal has been named a Finalist in the Good Food Awards: 15 Years of Good Food Celebration, standing out in a highly competitive field of past award winners and earning top scores in the Community Choice vote.

AF Chili Chunka Sambal is Sibeiho’s tangy, garlicky hit wonder that brings bold, spicy, and umami flavor to your meals—imparted to us by the legendary Auntie Feathers, who made hers to go with her homemade Kueh Pie Tee and crackling Five Spice Roast Pork. 🐖🔥 A cherished family friend, Auntie Feathers fed Sibeiho co-founder Holly Ong growing up and taught her how to make this iconic version—which is perfect to eat with  Singaporean favorites like Hainanese Chicken Rice. 🇸🇬

Crafted in Portland, Oregon with 100% natural ingredients, this sambal contains no MSG, no added color, and no artificial preservatives—just real, honest flavor rooted in home cooking and love. Sibeiho also honors its local community by sourcing some of the peppers from Oregon farms, including Leilani and Jihelah of @kasamafarm, adding a sense of place and community to every jar.

“We’re deeply honored to be recognized by the Good Food Foundation, especially as part of its 15-year celebration of outstanding food makers,” said Holly Ong, co-founder of Sibeiho. “AF Chili Chunka Sambal is more than a condiment—it’s a tribute to Auntie Feathers and the multi-cultural flavors that raised us.”

The sambal’s sharp, fruity, and garlicky heat pairs perfectly with a wide range of dishes, making it a bold pantry staple for flavor lovers. Recommended parings include:

• Chilled tofu

• Tinned fish

• Oven-roasted veggies

• BBQ grilled meats

• Fried noodles or rice

• Cheesy pizza

• Keropok & crispy things

• Basically anything that needs a tangy kick!
