The story behind it

Where the name Jim Look Chin comes from

«Look chin» are the meatballs that glisten on skewers over charcoal at Thai street corners. They are never sold alone — the sauce is the reason you stop.

Tamarind, fermented garlic, and dried chili make for a dipping sauce that is dark and tart rather than sweet.
