A sauce by any other brand... is not as good!

What brand of oyster sauce and soya sauce do you use? I have recently been chided by my confinement nanny for the brands I use. "No no no, must use these," she said, proudly displaying the two bottles that she apparently carries around to all the houses she's served under. "Must note - not just Lee Kum Kee Oyster Sauce ah, must be this one. Lee Kum Kee got many type of oyster sauce - must buy this one. The others too salty. Must." Hmm. "And as for Dark Soya Sauce, must get the brand that has label that looks like this," she said tapping the bottle vigorously to show me the label. "Got more colour la, Dark Soya Sauce is only for colour what." Orh.

Having tasted her cooking, I must admit - a sauce by any other brand is not as good! Have been busy picking up tips on how to cook some dishes, including an extremely yummy braised oyster sauce chicken wings (as good as my braised soya sauce chicken!) etc., Will try to post on them once I try them out!
