Fragrance Bak Kwa @ Hougang Central 香味肉干 @ 后港中心 is a butcher in Hougang, Singapore. It holds a Google rating of 4.7 from 25 reviews.
A good bak kwa shop is judged on the balance of sweet and savoury in its dried meat, and on whether the slices stay soft and chewy rather than dry or tough. Good bak kwa is usually cut to order, so it helps to ask for a sample or a freshly cut piece before buying a large packet. Festive seasons bring long queues, so ordering ahead or visiting early in the day saves time. Regulars often buy a few favourite flavours and keep them chilled to make them last.
Hougang Central is a busy town centre with shops and transport links, which makes this shop an easy stop for a packet of bak kwa on a trip into town.
