PENANG, MALAYSIA · NUTMEG · WORLD'S FIRST

 The World's First Halal Nutmeg Hot Sauce

 TANJONG SAUCE

®

Penang's Only Bottled Nutmeg Hot Sauce   ◆   Recipe Since 1970   ◆   8 Ingredients · Zero Artificial

Why Nutmeg?

Every hot sauce is chili and vinegar. Tanjong Sauce® is nutmeg - grown in Penang for over 200 years.

Nutmeg does what chili can't. It stimulates digestion - which is why Penang locals have brewed it as air buah pala for stomach relief for generations. Its warm aromatic compounds wake up the palate before the first bite.

Sweet first. Savoury next. A warmth that stays.

Three drops is all it takes.

8 Ingredients. Zero Artificial.

Uniform taste in every bottle. 100ml - small enough to finish fresh. Big enough to matter.

Just real ingredients in a real bottle, made by people who care what goes on your table. Every batch is slightly different. That's the point.

  • No preservatives

George Town Penang waterfront heritage - Tanjong Sauce recipe since 1970

From George Town, Penang. Since 1970.

Penang has grown nutmeg for over 200 years. In every hawker stall, in every home kitchen, nutmeg has been the quiet difference - in curries, in marinades, in recipes passed down through generations.

Tanjong Sauce
® is that tradition, bottled for the first time. Not a factory formula. A family recipe. Same eight ingredients since 1970. Nutmeg, chili, garlic, ginger, onion, vinegar, sugar, salt. Nothing else.

The world's first halal nutmeg hot sauce. From the island that grew the spice.
