I think for sauces as times goes by, the manufacturing has shifted to overseas due to cost issues back home.

I know that.....even Van Houten Chocolate Factory was shifted to Malaysia during the early 90s.

funny thing is, Van Houten's new packaging still indicates chocolates processed in Singapore

It all depends on where you live. Like in SFO, you can find sooooo many made in Sg condiments. My sis lives there. She tells me there is a Prima restaurant there too.

Where I live, there is a large Asian and East Asian population so it's easy to find made in Sg foodstuff. Whatever I can't find, there is always the internet. We have a Chinatown of sorts here so we have good food here too. From dim sum, to ramen shops to Indian restaurants...not too shabby.

Tiger Beer...sign what a crap decision to let Budwiser as the sole distributors...

Tiger Beer USA does not taste the same as Tiger Beer Singapore....its Tigress Beer here. They changed the formula tone down taste like budwiser.

Also Tiger beer are not mend to drink from long nose. It is made to drink from Glass.

Unless you find the asian stores that still hold the old stock 2 liter bottle. That might still be original.

The one thing that eludes me is daun pandan (pandan leaf)... I can't get no satisfaction from the paste, and we have a coffee hour at school to cook for soon.
