Hi guys

I love the dipping sauce for the deep fried spring roll at Hawkers Delight on Main Street. The dipping sauce is thick dark sweet soy sauce. Anyone know where can I get this for home use ?

Please share with us.

are you certain that the sauce comes straight from a bottle? they might have made from a bunch of other sauces combined

To be frank, I don't know whether it is made by themselves or buy the ones off the shelf.

Why don't you ask them yourself the next time you are there? It is very unlikely that the sauce used is off the shelf but moreso a concoction of sauces.

i think its tiger brand special grade dark sweet soy sauce. is it a really thick consistency? my parents buy it from my dads friends shop that sells pork/beef jerky. the place is called Bee Kim Heng on fraser. i think you can also buy it at this market store in coquitlam. i dont remember the name of the store but its like infront of the copa cafe

Maybe the OP means "Kecap Manis" ?

Definition: Kecap manis is a sweetish, thick soy sauce made with palm sugar and seasoned with star anise and garlic. A popular tool of Indonesian cooks, it can be used as a dip, and some people like to use it as a substitute for dark soy sauce in recipes.

you can find those in T&T or a bunch of other asian supermarket around town.
