Best places to buy bak kwa in Singapore (2025)
1. Gin Thye
Refreshing pineapple twist on the classic.
Price: $29.80 – $34.00 for 500G
I love Gin Thye’s Pineapple Bak Kwa because it’s such a refreshing twist on the classic. The sweetness of the pineapple adds a unique tangy contrast to the savoury, smoky pork, creating a perfect balance of flavours. What I enjoy is also how tender the bak kwa is, with just the right amount of caramelisation on the edges. The infusion of pineapple not only enhances the sweetness but also gives each bite a juicy burst of flavour!

2. Mr Bae
Rich honey glaze for a premium treat.
Price: $82.80 for 500G
It’s called Mr Bae for a reason – I truly treat this Honey Bak Kwa like my bae. Made with premium Kurobuta pork, it’s perfect for my “high-class” taste buds, as my boyfriend likes to say. What I love most is popping it in the microwave for a minute. The smoky aroma fills the air, and the rich honey glaze combines with the tender meat, making every bite even more irresistible with a slight caramelised edge. It’s my go-to indulgence whenever I’m craving something special!
3. Peng Guan
Handmade from scratch with premium Brazilian pork.
Price: $69.90 for 500G
Sometimes, I think traditional flavour is the best, especially when I’m sharing it with my ah ma. With no added preservatives, MSG, or artificial flavouring, I feel good knowing it’s healthy-ish for her to enjoy. She appreciates how they still keep it authentic by handmaking it from scratch using premium air-flown Brazilian pork and grilling each sheet one at a time. The best part? The price is still comparable to other famous brands we know!

Coffee addicts, I got you. The Hu Zhen Long Coffee Bak Kwa is perfect for those who can’t live without our daily cuppa.

6. Fragrance
For those who prefer a thinner bak kwa.
Price: $33.00 for 500G
I find Fragrance Bak Kwa to be a delicious yet somewhat overhyped snack. While it delivers on flavour, the bak kwa is a bit thinner than I’d typically prefer. That said, it still manages to maintain a tender, slightly crisp bite that’s enjoyable. However, I’ve learned the hard way not to overindulge. The richness of the flavour can become overwhelming after a few pieces, leaving me feeling a bit gelat.

For a spicy, umami kick.
Price: $78.80 for 500G
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my fair share of mala snacks that left me thinking, “meh.” However, Fyre Mala Xiang Guo Bak Kwa doesn’t disappoint. From the moment I take a bite, my tongue is gloriously ablaze with that perfect balance of numbing and spicy heat. I love adding it to my fried rice – the combination is incredible. There’s a rich, spicy umami kick that takes the dish to another level!

While I love snacking on this myself, CNY is also a time to show respect to your elders; the New Peng Hiang Bak Kwa Gift Box is perfect for that gesture. Some people might say the bak kwa is too thicc, but honestly, I think thicc is better. The thicker pieces just feel more indulgent and juicy, and you get more of that smoky, tender goodness with every mouthful.

Nestled in the heartlands of Clementi, Wu Chin Leong has been serving up incredible slices of bak kwa since 1973. They’ve had over 40 years to perfect their recipe and oof, it’s so good.

100% Australian grain-fed fresh pork.
Price: $41.00 for 500G
At first glance, Kim Joo Guan Bak Kwa immediately caught my eye with its appetising appearance and irresistible smoky aroma. The rich golden-brown colour and perfect glaze made it hard to resist. What impressed me was that they use 100% Australian grain-fed fresh pork, chilled instead of frozen, to preserve the full flavour of the bak kwa. This made each bite tender and juicy, with the perfect balance of smoky sweetness.

Ideal for those with a sweet tooth.
Price: $59.99 for 500G
Lim Chee Guan Bak Kwa has always been my mum’s absolute favourite — every year, without fail, she’ll get my dad to queue up for hours to buy some, and honestly, I can’t blame her! The bak kwa has this distinct, mouth-watering fragrance that’s a little sweeter than most, giving it a unique twist that makes it so memorable. What I love about it, though, is the texture — it’s not too dry and not too oily, so every bite feels just right.

15. Shangri-La
Juicy, tender meat from premium pork hind leg.
Price: $60 for 500G
As a big fan of bak kwa, I have to say the Shangri-La Applewood Minced Pork Bak Kwa is a real treat. Over the years, I’ve tried many different kinds, but there’s something about this one that stands out. The use of premium pork hind leg gives it that perfect combination of tenderness and juiciness, making each bite so satisfying. What caught my attention, though, is the two-hour smoking process with U.S. imported Applewood. It adds this rich, smoky BBQ flavour that blends beautifully with the sweet marinade. And let’s not forget the gift box — it’s so elegant, with its floral design!
