With bak kwa prices going up to $120 per kilo, of course you can make your own. You know it’s not quite Chinese New Year without bak kwa. But getting your hands on these smoky, juicy slabs of processed meat often means long queues at the stores (if you haven’t already ordered yours online). They don’t come cheap either. We heard a certain brand’s bacon bak kwa is going for $60 per 500g this year. That’s *cough* $120 a kilo.
If you are willing to spare some time making your own bak kwa to save $ (who doesn’t want that?), we have some noob-proof recipes for you, ranging from the basic to pineapple and even mala flavours. You can take this chance to rope in the kids, and come up with a family recipe of your own! Regardless of the outcome, we are sure your effort alone will impress the relatives.
Double win.
