Not many people would know of this place as they do not advertise. However this is the locals’ best kept secret for bbq pork. The best would be their sliced bbq pork which costs more but you get the slice of fat and lean meat melded and barbecued well not the minced meat type. The taste of saltiness and sweet is well balanced. You have to make reservations during Chinese New Year.

We stumbled across this shop because we wanted to try some local bak kaw. The smoked meat is much more savoury tasting than the ones in Singapore, which can be overly sweet. Very, moreish!

We came across this dried meat shop when looking around Chowrasta Market. We just wanted to try a little bit and the owner was very accommodating in selling us a tiny little piece for us to try. Their tried meats are very tasty and have a good texture.

Me and my wife always come to Penang to visit relative. They introduced us tuck kee for their dried meat, the taste is different with our china ones. Is pretty good we find it. Bought some back to china for family and they love it too. I personally love their waxed meat, the taste is different with china ones, but is good.

Everytime I come to penang, I will drop by tuck Kee to buy some bak kwa back to Singapore. But FYI, its banned from bringing pork to Singapore. But I did successfully brought back some. I normally hide in my luggage. Their bak kwa is good and cheap. Especially the pork floss very crispy. Its best to have it with bread for breakfast
