WCIF SE Asian ingredients: pandanus, daun salam, etc

Have you tried Trinity for the bay leaves? I’ve seen dried but not fresh or frozen ones; same for curry leaves.

Out of curiosity, how different is Vietnamese cilantro aka coriander from the locally available fresh stuff?

Personally, unless there’s a huge difference, I generally try to use the closest locally available stuff. I don’t go out of my way to get Kashmiri chili powder, for instance; I just toss in a bit of cayenne.

Anyway, you can peruse these threads which have a few leads on SE Asian ingredient sourcing:
