Product Information

The following year, Queen Elizabeth graced a trade show in Dewan Sri Pinang, Penang, where Lingham’s had a stall, History Channel Asia reported.

Understandably, he began missing the taste of home, so he started producing hot sauce in 1908 in Penang. People ask me what Lingham’s market share is? I said zero because none in the market are original or almost natural. The rest are not really chilli sauce as they added starch and colouring. Lingham’s is the real chilli sauce,” concluded Yeoh.

While Lingham’s Chilli Sauce (Lingham’s) might be what you’d call a more underrated name locally, I feel like it appears to be well-loved globally. Perhaps even lesser known are its origins, which can be traced to Butterworth, Penang. Here’s the story behind how Lingham’s became an award-winning chilli sauce that is being exported to over 20 countries all over the world. Warming up the taste buds It is unclear what had happened to Lingham after he had sold the company to Ooi, but the name and the recipe were retained despite numerous changes to the business throughout the years.

That’s certainly a strong statement to make, but it’s a testament to how much the team believes in the quality of their product, and it’s likely this same belief by consumers that have kept the brand thriving a century later. In 1945, after World War II, a Chinese clerk named Ooi Choo Hong, who worked at a British trading house called Henry Waugh Co. Ltd, made an offer to Lingham to buy the business from him, according to the History Channel Asia.Today from Penang to Paris, New Delhi to New York, Singapore to St. Petersburg, and everything in between, Lingham’s hot sauce speaks a universal language. From its product range, it seems that the brand has since expanded to include more variations such as Lingham’s Extra Hot, Lingham’s With Garlic, Lingham’s With Ginger, Lingham’s Sriracha, and Lingham’s Worcestershire sauce. If not because of the deep root and history that it has, I think Lingham’s wouldn’t be here today. The difference between the old food manufacturer and today’s is their thinking of sales.”
