Singapore trusted brand

The Sin Ngee sweet flour sauce, also known as Buddha Brand sweet flour sauce, is Singaporeans’ trusted brand. It has a balanced blend of sweetness, thickness consistency, and flour that makes other brands pale in comparison. It comes in a 640ml bottle.

SG Dried Goods tried introducing other brands to our customers, but customers usually insist on getting Sin Ngee. During the Chinese Lunar New Year in 2021, Sin Ngee is out of stock, but it does not stop customers from traveling around the island to look for their favourite sweet flour sauce to go with their Ngoh Hiang.
