Über diesen Tip
Kecap Benteng is Tangerang's own sweet soy sauce, and the oldest brand, known as Cap Istana, goes back to 1882. It is still the backbone of satay and snacks around Pasar Lama, where vendors say it caramelizes meat without burning. Buy a bottle in a local shop on your way out of the old quarter and ask which brand your satay vendor uses, since a second brand, Cap SH, is also popular. Wrap glass bottles in clothes for the flight home.
