Fried Flat Noodle with Kicap Manis(Sweet Soy Sauce)

I always heard about kicap manis (sweet soy sauce)but never try to eat or cook until now!! Well as you all know there are so many type of soy sauce in the market this days.Sweet soy sauce or Kicap manis ,which has a thick, almost syrupy consistency and a pronounced sweet, treacle-like flavor due to generous addition of palm sugar. It is a unique variety; in a pinch, it may be replaced by molasses with a little vegetable stock stirred in.To my surprised I love sweet soy sauce taste and flavor in my cooking!! On the bright side I can save adding sugar in my cooking, I also like tangy sweet in many of the dishes I cooked.One of the dish is "Char Keow Teow"!!
