Kim Peng Hiang Food Industry Pte Ltd

Queuing as I’m typing this, a clearly profits-driven company that has zero regard for their elderly customers that are queuing (in a U-shape) just for a taste of their pineapple bak kwa, no stools were provided at all for their customers waiting in the hot sun and queueing for hours!!! 😤 Thank goodness for their neighbour’s shop, Seng Kee Black Herbal Chicken, who graciously handed out their own seats for elderly customers to rest. Also, the queue hardly moves as they only have two workers who are taking their own sweet time to slowly take orders, pack and man the cashier and these two workers take forever to pack for a customer! 🤨 Wonder why they can’t just pre-pack 500g and 1KG packets beforehand if they clearly allowed group buy (as per seen in my third photo). The worst that leads to all the queue taking forever is that there are no restrictions or limitations on how many packets or KG a person can purchase. The business owner should definitely look into implementing a limit per person to be fair so other customers do not have to wait too long. FYI, arrived 11:30AM on a Thursday and queued for almost 2 hours, was finally served in the shop at 1:30PM. Taste test: Pineapple Bak Kwa is unadmittedly good, soft, tasty and tender and with the right amount of sweetness from the pineapple and therefore, revised to a two ⭐️ rating. Imho, it is better than the last year’s batches from Lim Chee Guan (getting too thick and dry nowadays) and Bee Chiang (too sweet and not enough fats). If you are wondering how it tastes like, I can tell you that it tastes like several dried char siew minced and then pressed together with subtle fats and then roasted with pineapple jam. For the price point, it is definitely worth buying as it seems cheaper than Lim Chee Guan but is it worth standing an excruciating 2 hour wait under the hot sun? I’m still on the fence about it. But improvements from the owner will definitely need to be made to make the wait and queue more humane.

What a scam. My dad dropped by to purchase since a few relatives and friends recommended. Wanted to get the Pineapple variation but they gave us a box of the Royal instead and insisted this was the one we wanted, the “bestseller”. Came back and found that the packaging indicated the Royal version, with thick slices that were CRUMBLY and falling apart upon handling, and extremely OILY as compared to other brands. And… look at the picture! The colour of the slices are a very big turnoff as well, looks much more pale irl and without any proper “char”. Not a sight to feast on, combined with the subpar taste… Huge disappointment.

Bought a few kg of the famous pineapple back kwa this cny as gifts. Got the unanimous thumbs down from all relatives. Too thick. No char from bbq. Standard has really dropped. Won't bother going all the way to buy it again. And buyers beware: this shop only takes cash. No credit card, no pay now. I had to walk all the way to withdraw money as I had no cash with me.

Came to buy some bakwa for family to try, though the queue is short, i queued for 90mins.Bakwa is thick, juicy & oily, n not char enough, i guess its bcos CNY period. Bought Pineapple Bakwa and Mince Bakwa, i think it too thick for my liking.

I bought the Pineapple BBQ Pork. Love the tenderness and every piece is thickly cut. Totally worth the effort to queue 2 hours for it.

Their bakkwa is damn good. Better than other brand. Even though their meat is thick, it still damn juicy and tender and soft. Worth it a lot

Got a packet of pineapple bak kwa as a gift from my friend, put in microwave and tried, its super good and is the best bak kwa I have ever tasted, its very different from the traditional Bak Kwa from other brands and will definitely buy this Pineapple Bak Kwa which is so flavourful and we ate with porridge and the taste is heavenly and has elevated this to the next level! Its thicker because of the pineapples and if put in the microwave and it taste best! Must try if you have not 🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍🍍

WARNING: EAT AT YOUR OWN RISK. HAZARD IN FOOD. And bad customer service. 0 Stars. Bought this via Groupbuy, and while eating, discovered a big bamboo splinter in one of the pieces I was eating. Verifiably not a pineapple (see video below) – imagine if we gave this away to my aged parents, or fed this to our young children! Upon feedback, Kim Peng Hiang (KPH) agreed to process a refund for the box of bakkwa on condition that we deliver the affected box of bakkwa back to them, at our expense, time, and inconvenience. Isn’t it integrity, ownership, and responsibility to be the one making collection arrangements from us considering this was a mistake on their part? Our Groupbuy coordinator was nice about it, and decided to assist with coordinating it. KPH ultimately came over to pick up the bakkwa from our Groupbuy coordinator. However, because there was only 1 piece of bakkwa left, they went back on their agreed word, and decided to refund only half the box. Wah, that means if I suay and eat until last piece and discover bamboo, I’ll probably get no refunds. Eat at your own risk my friends.

If you are like me who dislike queuing up for things but need to have bak kwa for Chinese New Year, you might want to ditch Lim Kee Guan for one year and try the bak kwa from Kim Peng Hiang. Kim Peng Hiang is famous for its Pineapple Bak Kwa, where candied shredded pineapple is mixed with the bak kwa. The taste adds a somewhat sweeter taste to the meat, while not cloying. The pineapple bits also adds a juicy bite to the meat. Kim Peng Hiang's original Bak Kwa is also awesome. Their slices are thick (about double the size of normal bak kwa) and you can actually taste the meat fibers in each bite. They also use more lean meat in their bak kwa so it will be a comfort to those who are watching their waistline (although not much). During Chinese New Year, the queue can be quite long but never as bad as that of Lim Kee Guan. Furthermore, this branch at Changi Road is located just beside the famous Seng Kee Black Herbal Chicken Soup so get a group of friends to take turns queuing up and eating zichar from Seng Kee. Time will pass pretty fast.

The only thing that can make one of my favorite foods ever (bak kwa) better, is by somehow merging this delicious bbq pork with pineapple. This place does it, and does it well. It just frankly delicious, and I highly recommend it.
