OUR STORY

105 EAST is a premium hot sauce brand, created as a bold Asian alternative and brewed in the Kingdom of Cambodia.

Inspired by the 105th meridian, it represents a modern trade route linking Cambodia with the rest of East Asia, from our factory in Phnom Penh to our first export market in Mongolia. Brewed and double fermented with local Cambodian chillies, Kampot pepper, and palm sugar, our sauces offer a deeper, more complex flavour.

Our logo is inspired by the fire deity Preah Aki, symbolising energy, protection, and transformation. We stand for bold taste, cultural exchange, and contemporary Asian creativity. Through our products, we celebrate Cambodian ingredients, bring Southeast Asian heat to the table, and share these flavours with the wider region and the rest of the world.

DISCOVER the INGREDIENTS

KAMPOT PEPPER

Kampot pepper brings a deeper layer of warmth, aroma, and complexity to the sauce.

Coming from Kampot, one of Cambodia’s most celebrated growing regions, we only use PGI certified Grade A Kampot pepper. Its aromatic pepper note supports the chilli without overpowering it, adding depth, structure, and a rounded finish. In 105 EAST, Kampot pepper helps shape the sauce’s savoury character, giving each pour a richer and more complex flavour.

CAMBODIAN BIRDS EYE CHILI

Small, sharp, and full of energy, Cambodian Birds Eye Chili brings the heat at the heart of 105 EAST.

The Cambodian variety of birds eye chili delivers a bold Southeast Asian fire with a bright, direct chili character. Exclusively harvested by Cambodian farmers, it gives the sauce its spark, its strength, and its local identity. Fermented into the sauce, the chilli becomes more than heat. It becomes depth, flavour, and the fire that drives the bottle.

PALM SUGAR

Palm sugar brings balance to the fire and depth to the fermentation.

Used as a base in the second fermentation process, it helps develop body, roundness, and complexity without leaving a sugary sweetness in the final product. Instead, it gives the sauce a slight caramel touch that softens the acidity and rounds out the chilli heat. It creates harmony, allowing the heat, tang, and fermentation to come together with more character.

BREWED & DOUBLE FERMENTED

105 EAST is brewed and double fermented to unlock a deeper, more complex flavour.

Fermentation gives the sauce its character. It builds savory depth, softens the sharp edges of the chilli, and brings the ingredients together over time. The result is a hot sauce with brightness, tangy heat, subtle sweetness, and a flavour that continues beyond the first hit of fire.

This is heat with depth. Fire with balance.
A sauce made to transform the meal, not overpower it.
