   My parents are coming to visit me for a month and I’ve sent them on side quests to collect things to bring over here for me:

   - coffee beans from my favorite Singapore roaster (Tiong Hoe Coffee)
   - shampoo from Watson’s
   - Swiss chocobits cereal
   - spice packs
   - pineapple tarts
   - bak kwa
   - dark soy sauce (I can’t get the dark soy sauce I like here, it’s all the HK style ones I don’t like)

     Malaysian / Singapore style dark soy sauce is thick as molasses

     A perfect blend of salty with a very slight sweetness

     Generally I prefer the brands from Singapore or Malaysia for soy sauce but it’s hard to get abroad. I just use Lee Kum Kee (from China / HK) for light soy sauce, which is great, but dark is meh. It’s just not right

     @skinnylatte Tell me more about the ones you like? I think I mostly get the HK-style ones here in Vancouver as well...

     It’s not just a darker salty sauce

     For some Hokkien and Teochew dishes that style of dark soy sauce is essential.

     Like braised pork or braised tofu for example. It all starts with a good caramelizing with spices. Quite similar to adobo

     @skinnylatte The Thai thick/sweet soy is too sweet? I usually have that (Healthy Boy brand) at hand - it's the thick molasses-y kind (but sweet too)
