Bak Kua Stalls in Penang

Bak Kua (9 December 2012)


Bak Kua (Penang Hokkien: Bak₁ Kua₁ [baʔ-kuã]), variously translated as dried meat square, grilled Chinese pork jerky, barbequed meat slices, and the like, are tasty meat snacks taken on their own or sandwiched in buns. To bring out the taste, grill the bak kua until slightly charred (and banish all the health conscious from your kitchen).

The problem with bak kua is that it can be quite addictive - without realising it, a whole box of bak kua can disappear into our mouth within one sitting, without our realising it at the point of eating, only to feel too full afterwards.

Probably the most renowned brand of Bak Kua is Bee Cheng Hiang, a company that started in Singapore in 1933, and now has a four outlets in Penang, shown on this list of Bee Cheng Hiang outlets.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
