* Ketjap manis
Also spelled kecap manis. Similar to dark soy sauce but sweeter, this extremely rich, dark, syrupy sauce is used in marinades, as a condiment or as an ingredient in Indonesian cooking. The sweetness comes from palm sugar; other flavorings include garlic and star anise. It's available from Asian supermarkets.
