HABHAL'S Kicap Manis Sweet Soy Sauce

HABHAL’S Kicap Manis Malaysian Sweet Soy Sauce Now Available in the UK!

HABHAL’S Kicap Manis is the thick, dark sweet soy sauce used for Malaysian ayam masak kicap, mee goreng and fried rice. It gives the pan a deep caramel sweetness and a glossy coating. A little goes a long way if you’re spooning it straight over a fried egg.

The fan-shaped prawn mark on the bottle is Cap Kipas Udang. The HABHAL name is linked to Haji Ahmad bin Haji Abdul Latif, who began selling his own kicap after the Second World War. Today the brand is made by Zara Foodstuff in Johor Bahru, where sweet and salty kicap became two of its main products.

For ayam masak kicap, stir it into softened onions and aromatics, then let it coat the chicken as the sauce reduces. For mee goreng, add a small splash towards the end so the noodles pick up colour without turning overly sweet.

For the bottle that seasons with salt and soy, see Kicap Masin in our HABHAL’S range.
