Attention Weird Food Peoples

[mark_asphodel]

What's a good, reliable source for pandan paste?  I found it on VeryAsia.com but don't want to buy from the first website I come across in case there's something skeezy about them.  Also, I don't know the difference between the two sizes of paste that they sell there.

Any help is appreciated.

[Basically, I got some pandan sponge cake from a local Chinese bakery today and thought, "Yeah, this is good, but homemade would be even better!"  And then I found a whole ton of recipes for lovely green things.]

Status update: Hurdle #1 of eleventy-one successfully crossed.  Still sick; obviously went back to work too soon.  The next "D-Day" (D = deadline) is Monday the 4th, so I'm not going to be too happy until that's done.  And then I get posted out of town, very much against my personal preference, the following week.  Yay.

I've seen people on various food blogs link to Import Food.com (http://importfood.com/) for Thai tea (and they have pandan), but have not shopped there myself. I don't know of any online sources that are reliable without a doubt, but one of us in the Bay Area should be able to find some and send it off if you don't want to risk it. I don't mind doing that, but should probably wait until I'm not sick. :p

On the other hand, there's no reason to assume. The prices aren't that high; if you can find one that'll take Paypal, the worst you stand to lose is five bucks. Or maybe ten if their shipping is awful.

I'll actually be out in Fremont in mid-May, collecting stuff from my grandmother's house, so maybe I'll restrain myself until then.

Thanks!
