Mkl22 Twincharged January 4, 2020 Share January 4, 2020 I still don’t understand the rational of bak kwa during CNY. Can buy anytime of the year and without a price hike. Same with eating bak chang! I gave my colleagues bak kwa for Christmas. No queue and no price hike. Haha. Why bother queuing to get them more chocolates and sweets. 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they waste time and money buying overpriced pork. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tianmo Hypersonic January 4, 2020 Share January 4, 2020 No bak kwa is worth queuing up for during this CNY, that CNY, or any CNY... I buy and eat bak kwa anytime I feel like to eat it, have not bought any during CNY for the past 3-4 yrs. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
13177 Supersonic January 4, 2020 Share January 4, 2020 Athough bak kwa can buy during normal days but this item like it is a must to have during cny lo, so it pushes the demand up. So i guess every year cny should be the same old bak kwa shops that many people go queue and buy, never change la. 😂 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, quality wise confirmed not very good when demand is super high and they need to rush out the bak kwa. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
