Bak Kwa from Bee Cheng Hiang

In 1933, Mr Teo Swee Ee began selling barbecued pork slices from a humble cart in Chinatown. Little did he know that his homemade snack would grow into a brand that is well-loved by locals, Bee Cheng Hiang. Its bak kwa (barbequed meat slices) is a hit especially during Chinese Lunar New Year. Its versatile packaging, which includes bite-sized and individually packaged products, makes it a good souvenir. At its flagship concept store, the Bee Cheng Hiang Grillery, visitors can decorate and customise their Bee Cheng Hiang packaging with stamps of various Singapore motifs and have a go at grilling their own bak kwa.
