Thin Seng Sauce Factory

Thin Seng Sauce Factory旅游景点攻略

Soya sauce has long been the gem of chinese cooking. At Thin Seng, we were most warmly welcome by the daughter of the owner, and since there were no other customer, she let us try all the sauce we plan to buy, and also explain to us the process of making soya sauce. We finally found a soya sauce which is consider a rarity in the market, a light soya sauce called "酱青“ jiang qing, a light soya sauce which is different from "生抽“ sheng chou, also translated as light soya sauce. Their jiang qing -light soya sauce has a tinge of sweetness in it yet light, which we have never found in Klang valley. We didn't just buy a bottle, but a 3kg pail. Also a 3kg oyster sauce and a bottle of soya sauce. There is no signboard at this factory, reason being they are now operating at a housing area, and there are complaints and warnings despite being quiet and no foul smell. They cant operate at a light industrial area as the soya sauce fermentation requires sunlight, the more the better, therefore they need a large courtyard to expose the soya sauce to the sun and fresh air. I highly recommend any Chinese cooking enthusiast to visit this place, this is a small scale industry and an old craft which is almost lost, loosing its battle to the large scale production, big company, which products dominates especially the hypermarkets nowadays. Although taste wise, it is always the small scale ones who make the soya sauce with much love and care, where no quality control, high tech machine can beat. So when we cook, we know that there is more than the love and care that only we put into the dishes that we cook. We look forward to the next visit to this place again when we need to stock up on our light soya sauce, and hoping it will still be there.
