Hau Young Seng Soy Sauce Cafe: Discovering Bangkok's last traditional soy sauce factory

Soy Sauce Ice Cream, Coffee, and Lunch at Hau Young Seng, Bangkok's last traditional soy sauce factory Hau Yong Seng is the last traditional homemade soy sauce factory in Bangkok , Thailand . Located alongside the Bangkok Yai Canal, once home to rice mills, soy sauce breweries, and nine commercial shipyards, Hau Yong Seng has sought out modern ways to stay relevant even as soy sauce brewing has largely shifted to be mass-produced in industrial factories. The salty smell of soy sauce hit our nostrils as soon as we stepped up to the charming little cafe and took a seat next to the water. It was a warm but breezy afternoon, and the canal was quiet save for the occasional longtail boat zipping along the famous old waterway. traditional clay pot soy sauce fermentation
