Sliced Pork Jerky or Bak Kwa as homecoming gift.


Pork Jerkey or BaK Kwa from Bee Cheng Hiang, Singapore
Bak Kwa or Pork Jerky, as they call it. Locals of Singapore called this as Bakkwa. A friend of mine shared this to us to give it a taste.

Bak Kwa tastes like "Tocino". Pork Jerky was sweet and salty at the same time, but sweetness is taking over the saltiness.

Although you can buy these goodies uncut from Chinatown, they have a sliced version that you can take home, sealed in freshness.

Key ingredient of Bak Kwa are sugar and fish sauce.  These pork jerkey are vacuum sealed from Bee Cheng Hiang.

Instruction how to eat vacuum sealed Bak Kwa or Pork Jerky
Bee Cheng Hiang have an online store for vacuum packed Bak Kwa, variants are pork, chicken, and beef. Together with the package, is the instruction how to eat the sliced pork.

But since we don't have time to follow the instructions (wink). We just tear the seal and bite this sliced goodies.

You can take it home and have it as homecoming gift or "pasalubong" to friends and family, if you did try to visit Singapore. Delicious and affordable at the same time.

The chemical content on their stool and urine might change causing the rashes. ·          Constant rubbing of skin. 

HOW TO TALK TO KIDS ABOUT TOUGH ISSUES OR SUBJECTS

Raising a kid is the most rewarding and yet very challenging part of being a parent.  Getting your child to talk is even harder when the kid is growing especially teenagers. I noticed that talking to a two year old is much easy and comfortable compared to older kids. Toddlers are not ashamed to ask questions, relevant or not, because they are just starting to know the things that surrounds them. While teenagers have some sort of idea how things are and most of the times they are the one exploring things and putting it into action rather than asking questions.  Which I think is more dangerous since teenagers are already interacting with different people, they have the tendency to pick up wrong ideas or even be influenced by bad people. In this very complicated world that we have today, it is tough to explain things or issues  to kids so that they will clearly understand what are the things we try to convey. Especially those issues like, sex and sexuality, relationship, a...
