Time to look for the best Bak Kwa for the Chinese New Year – just 6 weeks from now. Bak Kwa is a must-have delicacy to CNY celebration. That’s why people queue for hours at popular Bak Kwa outlet such as Lim Chee Guan Bak Kwa – 林志源肉干.

Bak Kwa (Bakkwa), literally translated, means dried meat is made from marinated pork barbecued over charcoal fire.

Here’s a list of some of the Best bakwa in Singapore.

Lim Chee Guan Bak Kwa – 林志源肉干

203 New Bridge Road
Tel: 6227 8302

Lim Chee Guan Bak Kwa is founded in 1938. However, I wonder if it has been selling bak kwa all along for the past 70 years in Singapore. You may want to go get it now to avoid the long queue 2 weeks before the Chinese New Year. The shop is situated at Chinatown (牛车水).

Kim Hock Guan Bak Kwa – 金福源肉干

150 South Bridge Road
#01-02 Fook Hai Building

Here’s another one of my favorite bak kwa, Kim Hock Guan Bak Kwa at Fook Hai Building.

Other Kim Hock Guan outlets:
- 180 Bencoolen St #01-25 The Bencoolen (facing Bencoolen St)
- 107 East Coast Rd (opp Katong Mall)
Bee Cheng Hiang Bak Kwa – 美珍香肉干

189 New Bridge Road
Tel: 6223 7059

When it comes to bak kwa, it will be incomplete without the mention of 美珍香. According to their official website, http://www.bch.com.sg Bee Cheng Hiang was founded in 1933, even older than the Lim Chee Guan brand.

The main shop of Bee Cheng Hiang Bak Kwa is located at Chinatown.

Besides Bak Kwa, I just want to share that Chinese New Year in Singapore is not complete with flowers and plants that symbolizes auspicious meaning. These can be found in Singapore Nurseries. Check it out here and learn http://hubpages.com/hub/Chinese-New-Year-Flowers-and-Plants–Singapore

I tried calling Kim Hock Guan to enquire about their prices using the number listed here, but was unable to reach them.
Noticed the telephone no listed is the same as Lim Chee Guan.
Managed to get it from a friend, who is a regular at Kim Hock Guan.
The telephone number should be 65352536.

I was at Sim Lim Sq the other day and came across a Kim Hock Guan branch nearby. Here’s the address if you are interested as it should have a shorter queue compared to the Fook Hai main shop come CNY. Also 1 at Katong.
* 180 Bencoolen St #01-25 The Bencoolen (facing Bencoolen St)
* 107 East Coast Rd (opp Katong Mall)
