Really Three Hundred twenty eight SIN Dollar for 600g ?? of $32.8 for 600g? 

Actually it's really $328, but i realised the one i have is the normal one, I don't think my mother will buy the $328 one unless struck lottery..

I tried one after lunch. It's decent, not too sweet, lean though I chose minced and easy on my teeth.

But son found it too soft. Hahaha

When bak kwa is slathered with so much seasoning. Whatever pork you also cannot tell the diff. Just only know if it is soft or tough.

Small case compared to sang hock guan. 

Sang hock guan u order like one month plus in advance. Then on the day, they only give u the day to collect. After going down and waiting for 1hr plus. I had to ask the person to call me cos she said need another 3 plus hours (which she was very reluctant to do...) . I drove down to collect at 1030pm.

It is after eating this bak kwa can become 长生不老, 无病痛？😂

I bought my bk from bch factory last Sunday. Bought the minced meat and chilli meat. The minced meat is more tender and easy on the teeth.

Many bus loads of aunties there. At the cashier, the auntie in front of me insist with the cashier to give her a bigger cooler bag as her friend even thou she bought little stuff only. Wasting my time only. 

Many xmm part timers there.

Its as good as any Bah kwa I've eaten. So good enough for me. (Albeit I haven't tried the top few brands in recent years cos they also are popular). Or else won't have people willing to wait for hours just to collect. 

Maybe I will buy some after cny. But quite sinful lol.

The key reason why we had marbled meat / wagyu is for the fatty / juicy texture, when it was grilled or fried for a short time. 

Using marbled meat for bak kwa is a pure wastage of good meat, all fat are likely to become lard liao. Or maybe got that lard taste and texture?

If that is the case, 猪油渣肉干 is more appropriate, but I guess marbled meat bak kwa sounds  more atas and can command a higher (exorbitant) price.

@Carbon82  All marketing, some fancy name can automatically command a higher price.

Still got ppl queue to get bak kwa?

Last evening I went to the wholesale center at Woodlands Terrace got bak kwa too. Not many ppl there when I got there at around 6.30pm. The bak kwa I see some ppl bought a lot. But no queue lo.

Only one selling wholesale stuff and one bakery are open. Maybe afternoon got more companies open.

The wholesale one sell lot of food that are easy to prepare during CNY.

Even got Orh-nee. 

Things like herbal chicken is very cheap. Got spicy fried mid wings, harkao siew mai, kong bah bao and many more.

At the bakery at the other end, selling CNY goodies, lapis cake and lion cakes.
