Kowloon Soy Company

Top choice in Hong Kong


The shop (c 1917) for artisanal, naturally fermented soy sauce, premier cru yellow-bean sauce (Chinese miso) and other high-quality condiments; it also sells preserved eggs (皮蛋, pei darn) and pickled ginger ( 酸姜, suen geung), which are often served together at restaurants. Did you know that preserved eggs, being alkaline, can make young red wines taste fuller-bodied? Just try it.

The owner speaks excellent English and can help guide you through the range.
