Where can I buy non-canned Thai curry paste? Like freshly pok pok by a Thai auntie. Anywhere in Thai Town or the SFV?

Check the cold case right by the parking garage entrance at Silom Supermarket on Hollywood.

Does jarred count as not canned?
She’s in the Sherman Oaks Farmer’s Market (among others):

If you’re near Chinatown or the northeast, LAX-C, aka thai Costco, has a great food court that sells legit thai food and pantry staples including homemade curry pastes. Be prepared, most items are written in Thai. Workers are always willing to help. Also, grab a fresh Timbo Pils at HPB down the street. Cheers!

Google translate does a decent job with the printed labels in the deli case. Like, it won’t tell you the name of the paste but it’ll let you know the ingredients

Their boat noodle soups and sausages are great.
Never tried anything else from them.

yeah, the place seemed legit. there was even a reserved table for lunch, demonstrating its popularity. it’s probably one of those instances where i went wrong by picking the least meaty option on the menu.
