Soy Sauce from Kowloon Soy Company

If you're able to bring packaged foods home, head to Kowloon Soy Company at 9 Graham Street for artisanal, slow-brewed soy sauce. If you’re not sure about which one to choose from, Kowloon Soy Company's Gold Label Light Soy Sauce never disappoints. Each batch takes over three months to slowly ferment in ceramic barrels under the sun.

Apart from soy sauce (of which there are several kinds that range in quality and intensity level), they also sell a wide selection of Chinese cooking sauces, from soybean paste to hoisin sauce and chu hau sauce (spiced soybean paste often used for slow-cooked beef brisket). Everything is made using age-old methods (the company has been around since 1917).
