Visual Heritage: Peranakan Motifs in the Tanjong Sauce® Label
The visual identity of Tanjong Sauce® is not accidental. Every element of the label — from the woodcut-style illustrations to the vintage cream palette — draws from the rich visual language of Peranakan (Nyonya-Baba) culture.
Nyonya visual culture is characterised by intricate patterns, bold colours, and a love of detail. Peranakan tiles, with their geometric floral motifs in turquoise, pink, and yellow, are one of the most recognisable features of heritage homes in George Town. Nyonya kebayas are adorned with intricate embroidery. The porcelain used in Peranakan households features hand-painted designs of phoenixes, peonies, and butterflies.
The woodcut-style illustrations on the Tanjong Sauce® label — the clock tower, the ferry, the lighthouse — echo this love of detail and craftsmanship. The vintage cream and warm brown palette recalls the aged parchment of old recipe books and the patina of heritage shophouses. The shield badge evokes the protective, family-oriented values of Peranakan culture.
Every bottle is designed to feel like a heritage object — a small piece of Penang’s visual and culinary history, ready to be displayed on your table.
