<![CDATA[Where to Buy Shrimp Paste]]>Hi! this is not about baking but I have a question here. Anyone has idea where to buy good shrimp paste to make your own rojak? I tried NTUC but the shrimp paste taste just doesn’t taste right.

It is made of tiny shrimps (which you can still see) and quite watery. Eat uncooked with sliced onions and red chilli as a dip for BBQ seafood.

You can buy Lee Kum Kee bottled ones from NTUC. Just add 2 tbsp to 10 chicken wings. Not too much or your chicken will stink and be too salty. No need to add salt at all. Use crispy flour or mix rice flour with wheat flour for a crispier bite.

I just add some lime juice and a bit of sugar. It is a tad spicy but considered very good for a bottled sauce. Better than buying pure shrimp paste which is very salty.

Karl12:
Hi the shrimp paste ingredient use for making fried shrimp paste chicken, isst using the same shrimp paste from supermarket?

No, the Chinese fermented prawn paste is different from the Rojas type. You probably can find them at the Chinese dried goods stores in chinatown, or maybe yue hua emporium.

I didn’t know there was this sweet flour sauce. Now I know. Many thanks, I will have to look really "hard" at the sauces again when I go NTUC.


hquek, thanks for the recommendation but my computer do not have chinese language. So the words came out as hanyu pin ying with numbers on top. So, I kind of guessing what the name really is. Thanks anyway.

It’s almost next to Aljunied MRT.


They stock a variety of sauces etc and has been around for umpteen years. You may find what you are looking for there.

The paste used in pohpiah is called "sweet flour sauce". Some NTUC has it on their shelves, but I think most provision shops will stock it. It’s the same sauce you’d use to dip fried Ngoh Hiang.
