Hong Kong Food Trip: Bee Chen Hiang

Tweet

Bakkwa is cured roasted meat, usually pork, which is sweet and salty with smokey flavors - something like Asian jerky or thin dried up tocino. It is sold by the pound for around HK$ 150 and also in individually packed discs/coins for snacking for HK$180 for 500g's worth which is our "group" pasalubong to some friends. You can get sliced pork or beef from whole muscle meat, or the same thing but using chopped meat. Had a chance to also taste the "gourmet" chili bakkwa before and it's really good!

A long queue forms in this roadside stall that they have to cordon it off. Jena and I played the ditsy card (I think) and went straight to the counter since time is of the essence for last minute shopping. Hahaha

Seems like there's a promo! Hahaha But we got something special... Read on!

They also sell other Asian goodies like different kinds of floss! :)

We bought like a combined HK$ 1,300 worth of bakkwa! When about to pay, given we did not have enough local currency left, Jena decided to pay using her Citibank credit card. The lady said we get 10% off for using Citi VISA! Luuuuuvveeeeeeeeeet!!! :)

But wait, there's more!!! The lady disappeared under the counter and came back with another surprise!!!

OMG! We got a free airpot!!! Promise!!! Extra hand-carry! Hahaha



More promos! (1) Heart shaped bakkwa for Father's Day, (2) didn't understand but it said Citibank - happy na with our 10%, (3) FREE rice cooker - how come we only got the airpot? =p

So you know where we got the airpot we will give you for Christmas this year (gift to boss?) hahaha Yas if you read this, we heart you! :)

Thumbs up for me and Jena!

Our "stash" hand carried to last minute shopping (with the airpot of course) and to the airport.

Wonder if they have the same promo in Manila? Maybe I will pay them a visit and get my "portable bacon" fix. Very addicting!!! Munching on some while typing = greasy key board! I'm sure you can also get some in Ongpin being sold by local shops there.
