tis the season to eat bak kuah..

What is CNY without:

·         Mandarin oranges

·         Kueh kapik, Peanut cookies

·         Muruku (from my inlaws..really one..!!! )

·         Orange flavored Soft drinks

·         And Bah kuah…

 

These are the things that make our cny complete..!!! (…and of course, the eve dinner and visiting of relatives and friends and exchanging of angpows.)

Well, to us, at least… as these are the critical components especially when you are chillin at home watching TV with aircon at full blast, safely out of the scorching sun.

 

Now, back to bak kuah….

Its also music to my ears when my #1 and #2 says to me, “papa, I want to eat bark-kuah” 

 

We actually bought a few packs of bak kuah from BCH and TK.

We bought both the sliced pork and minced pork versions as well.

So far most have been quite disappointing.

Not sure whether it’s because of mass production due to the current seasons demand but they’ve been either

·         Too salty

·         Too wet

·         Too hard

 

So far none have satisfied.

By the way prices have also been upped, from $38 to nearly $50 for 500grams.

The search goes on.
