Having been around since 1938, Lim Chee Guan should be no stranger to most of us. While their Chinatown outlets are usually crammed full of anxious folk waiting to get their yearly bak kwa supply during CNY - with snaking queues extending metres from the store itself - this won’t be the case as they’re moving orders online this festive season. This is to ensure utmost safety for both customers and staff, in light of COVID-19.

Being a relatively new bak kwa brand in Singapore, FYRE may not be a name you’ve heard of till now, but their founders have a combined experience of over a century in the food industry. Can't go wrong there!

They only have 2 flavours at the moment - The Original 1945 and The Mala Xiang Guo - but what they lack in quantity, they make up for in quality. These are made from premium meat that’s smoked for hours over apple and lychee wood, before being barbequed. The result? Fragrant and amazingly tender bak kwa with a sweet, smokey flavour.

You might balk at the prices of $118 and $128 for the Original and Mala flavours respectively, but relax - these come in 1kg bundles. Perfect for those who have big families and are holding multiple get-together sessions at home.
Early bird deal: Use code “FYRE30” at checkout to enjoy 30% off from now till 10 January 2021. This means you’ll be getting 1kg of bak kwa from just $82.60.
