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.

Eggplant - Usually I put them inside the fridge, but not now. You h...
