Humble Beginnings
Sim Soon Heng Cooking Ingredients was registered as a company in 1978. The founders, Mr & Mrs Sim, fondly known as Tau Kay & Tau Kay Nio to their loyal customers, displayed the enterprising spirit of entrepreneurs as early as the 1960’s.
As the pioneer generation, they started with door-to-door peddling of soya sauce, and laid the foundation of what would become a flourishing business. Over time, their portfolio expanded to include a wide array of products, including different chilli sauces, pastes, and various condiments.
Continuous Pursuit Of Excellence
Today, SSH is helmed by the second generation business owners, Mr David Sim and his wife, Winlin.
David's passion for sauce craftmanship started at a young age. Still a student then, he seized the opportunity to apprentice under a chilli grand-master, alongside Mrs Sim. Together, they experimented and created their first blended chilli paste which has since become the ‘Hero Product’ of SSH!
This sparked off a journey in crafting and manufacturing quality sauces with natural ingredients, delivering authentic flavours, original taste, well-liked by customers for the last 4 decades and more!
Achievements & Recognition
Mr David Sim's passionate quest for quality sauces continued through the years. He is the mastermind behind SSH's premium Chilli Crab Sauce, perfecting it through countless taste tests to achieve the rich and aromatic flavours of this favourite Singapore dish!
