In Malaysia and particularly Indonesia, a great many sauces are to this day called kecap, pronounced "ketchup". The debate is mostly about whether the Indonesian kecap inspired the Chinese ke-tsiap that eventually became Western ketchup, or the other way around.

Ironically the only thing they don’t call kecap/ketchup is the tomato kind, which is simply “tomato sauce”.
