Vegetarian Kam Heong Sauce 素甘香酱
Kam Heong Sauce literally means "Golden and Fragrant" Sauce translated from the Cantonese dialect. This sauce tastes amazing as it has a combination of Chinese, Malay and Indian flavours all mixed together. More amazing is this is a VEGETARIAN Kam Heong Sauce. With the combinations of vegetarian dried shrimps, chilli, curry powder and curry leaves, it gives this vegetarian sauce the same great flavours and aromas as the one that is non vegetarian where dried shrimps are used instead.
