Kim Peng Hiang (Changi)

The only store I know of, that sells pineapple bak hwa, Kim peng Hiang has been around since the 1930s. It was previously located at the now demolished pearl centre at chinatown. Used to remember queuing up over 2 hours for their famous pineapple bak kwa during CNY almost over a decade ago. Some news outlet says queues can go up to 8 hours during CNY period

Without fail, come CNY, this pineapple bak hwa will be eaten at my place or at my parents.

Not only is the pineapple bak hwa unique, it also tastes good. It's not something new that is trendy, this pineapple bak hwa has been sold at kim peng hiang for a long time, and it's somewhat their speciality.

$22 for 500g

These thick slices of BBQ pork is a must have for me every Chinese New Year. And I go one month before so I don’t have to queue. Only a few flavors are available for walk in. And they stop taking orders quite early so call way in advance.

These slices were so thick that there were only a few slices in a 500g pack. So good to chew. The more you chew the juicier it gets. Absolutely delicious.

After all the talks about upcoming Chinese New Year during lesson, lead me to walking 🚶‍♀️ down the street to get some bak kwa.
About 4 to 5 pieces for 500 grams.

This unique CNY delicacy is nearly double the thickness of regular bak kwa, making it more moist with a nicer chew to texture.

Blending with pineapple (you can see the chunks) makes the meat more tender, and imparts a fruit caramelised sweetness, complementing the savoury salty flavour of the pork.

Sibei shiok.

the royal bbq pork is a must order!

what i love about kph's royal bbq pork bakkwa is that it is made of sliced pork instead of minced pork. to date, it is one of the thickest bakkwas that i know! i would say that texture wise, it is chewy due to sliced pork being used instead of minced pork which usually breaks away/crumbles more easily. i think what makes kph popular with its customers is the texture of the meat that you probably can't find anywhere else. it feels like you're eating an extremely thin slice of dried pork chop.
kph's bakkwa is sweet and juicy with a slight smoky aftertaste. if you're looking for a strong smoky aftertaste, i'm afraid that kph isn't the right place to go for you. a store like lim chee guan 林志源 would better serve your needs.
other popular items at kph would be their famous pineapple bbq pork bakkwa and the royal chilli sliced pork. the pineapple bbq pork bakkwa is definitely a unique selling point that draws the crowd to kph every year and you'll see people buying up boxes after boxes of it. it tastes like a slightly sweeter version of be royal bbq sliced pork bakkwa but with pineapple bits mixed into it. some find the pineapple version more tender than the royal bbq sliced pork but i don't remember the difference being that great. as for the royal chilli sliced pork, I wouldn't mind eating it but if offered the pineapple version or the royal bbq pork version, i would go for them instead. i find that the royal chilli sliced pork version offers a slightly different texture since the meat is more dry in comparison to the other two.

be prepared to queue for hours if you want a taste of this or just try to go at the odd timings and pray that there isn't a queue. i think that they impose restrictions on the quantity that you can buy but you can always just queue again or bring a few friends along with you.
新年块乐 and 新年快乐 everyone 🍊🍊
