The 1970s Family Recipe: A Heirloom Shared with the Public
In Peranakan culture, the kitchen was the domain of the matriarch. She was the keeper of the family’s culinary secrets — the recipes that defined the family’s identity, passed down through generations of women. These recipes were never written down in precise terms. They were taught by demonstration, by taste, by feel. A daughter would stand beside her mother, watching, tasting, learning. The knowledge was transmitted through shared experience, not through cookbooks.
This tradition of oral transmission made Peranakan recipes both precious and fragile. Precious, because each family’s version of a dish was unique. Fragile, because if the chain of transmission was broken — if a daughter moved away, if a generation lost interest — the recipe could be lost forever.
The 1970s family recipe that became Tanjong Sauce® comes from this tradition. It was originally a secret blend, guarded by the family matriarch, used only for special occasions. When the decision was made to revive it, the process was not about creating a new product — it was about recovering something precious that risked being lost.
Tanjong Sauce® is not a commercial invention. It is a heirloom — a family recipe that the family chose to share. Every bottle carries that story.
