TimeOut

To that extra AWESOME PuristS from Singapore, thank you for this delicious treat!!! Lim Chee Guan: A giant bag of Bak Kwa: What is Bak Kwa? It's a Chinese sweet meat jerky-like product. It has a lot of flavor and was amazingly tender. What a wonderful sur...  

You're a lucky person to receive these nice treats. When you were in Macau, did you go to all those jerky places in Senado Square? It was fun sampling. Regards, ED-209

It was definitely a nice treat! We had quite a bit of snacks in Macau, they have so many places to go to. -MW

Hmmm....sneaky., but if it's good, who cares, just eat your heart out. I like the whole slices pork, not minced, but he new bacon style is also very tasty, need to go with some fat and char...yum. Another famous and older brand is Bee Cheng Hiang Rgds Ray... 

I thought it was some kind of jerky but when I ate one it was amazingly tender. It had a right amount of sweetness to it. This was the only Bak Kwa I have tried, would you rate Bee Cheng Haing better than Lim Chee Guan? -MW

charcoal grill, you can see the grease/oil dripping...but those were the old days. Bee Cheng Hiang used to be the only famous one, Lim Chee Guan is the new kid, although both are all many years already. They both started from a stall/shop, family owned, h... 

It did have a nice smokey/char grilled taste to it! -MW

For years, I have belived that we have eaten the best... That is Bee Cheng Hiang. It's good. Very good to our taste. The spicy one. Anyway, we will try "the other" brand now - to compare. Who knows. I am generally very open to changes - if for the good...... 

Let us know how it goes once you get a chance to visit BeeChengHiang! Have you tried any new snacks lately BentN? -MW

Probably not so very exciting, but yesterday we came over this burger :-) But I quickly learned that it wasent a normal burger - its a "Som Tam burger". That is, the ever so famous Thai Papaya salat...now wrapped in burger bread :-) And spicy it was too....  

The Thai Papaya salad with a bun sounds interesting. Bon Apetit BentN! -MW

Just days before the annual Chinese New Year, you'll have to queue at least 6-8 hours for these Lim Chee Guan Bak Kwa! the bee line starts as early as 5am in the morning! They are definitely one of the best in the market, if not the best !! Enjoy pal :) I... 

Hello , welcome to the TimeOut forum! Wow, a 6-8 wait during CNY? Didn't know it was that good! Is it given out as a gift (like moon cakes) or do the locals like it that much? I really liked it! -MW

Hi MW it's given out both as a gift and sort of must-have for the CNY, like those new year cookies, cakes etc. Not sure who started the "movement" (probably some insiders ! LOL) but this brand of Bak Kwa is highly desirable during this festive season but ... 

SBK, thanks for the insights on the Bak Kwa, I definitely enjoyed it! :) . It was great discovering this treat, if you have other suggestions or traditions from Singapore, myself and the others here on the forum look forward to your posts! :) -MW
