duck sauce
Now that I am forced to eat bad Chinese food almost all the time (western food in Nanning is dreadful, and I can't do McDs 3x per day), I've come to the conclusion that duck sauce (common on the US east coast... strangely, it never caught on in the west) would vastly improve my quality of life. Please bring some to me (I'm in Nanning, which is a place you will likely never visit, but I'm still based in Shanghai, so that works too).
Many thanks!
Many thanks!

For NN you can get plum sauce for duck from HK. The east coast US duck sauce is used to dip Cantonese roast duck as well so maybe try GZ.

I'm looking for the light brown stuff that is common in Boston, NY, and DC. It would bring lots of life to the fried rice that I often eat here to the extent that I bet even the locals would like it. I'd be happy to pay for an entire box... I'm guessing $25, but I'm prepared to go higher.

How about turkey gravy in a can. Or A-1 steak sauce ?.
I might be in SH the end of next week, 'IF' the weather cools down, BJ has decent weather this week, just the normal haze !.

In any event, if all goes as planned, I will be back in Shanghai by the end of September, where I can eat great food every day (i.e. there is no need to overcome blandness with condiments).

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I visit our overpriced grocery store. There's also a VN restaurant near me, and the owner brings in Rooster Sauce (Siracha is the official name I think ) from HK, which I love (best food I've had in Nanning as well), but I can't eat every meal there.

Is this the duck sauce you're looking for?
Definition: Duck sauce is another name for Plum Sauce. The name "duck sauce" comes from the fact that Western Chinese restaurants began serving it with the pancakes that go with Peking Duck, under the mistaken impression that this was an authentic practice. (In China, Peking Duck is traditionally served with hoisin sauce). But whatever name it goes by, plum sauce makes an excellent dipping sauce for appetizers, such as Egg Rolls and Spring Rolls.

If so, I'm sure it's available on the West coast, maybe even in China.

Here's the supplier of the stuff I usually see on the east coast:

In addition to the familiar packets, it also comes in 1- and 5-gallon tubs.
